Designed by Farmer Payne Architects, this refined mountain home blends rustic textures with clean, modern lines, nestled in the hillside of Greenhorn Gulch, a valley outside of Ketchum, Idaho. This home seamlessly combines sleek design with practical features, allowing for a casual yet distinctly sophisticated mountain living experience.
Reclaimed wood walls add a cozy vibe while contrasting against the light oak floors and cabinetry. Green accents in upholstery, rich natural textures, and pops of black create a harmonious feeling that evokes a sense of living in the landscape.

A Home Rooted in Place
Greenhorn Getaway is picturesquely perched to take in the surroundings. The site’s natural slope and panoramic views shaped the design from the ground up, informing a home that feels both anchored to the land and open to the surrounding landscape.
The Heart of the Home
The second floor is the showcase of the home. The open kitchen greets you at the top of the stairs, with an adjoining dining space that flows seamlessly into the living room. A large rustic stone wall ties the spaces together, the selection evoking old-world hearths, creating the center of the home. Every element in the space is a balance between old and new, rustic and modern.
Texture & Terrain
A low-slung stone base grounds the home to the hillside, while wood siding and expansive steel-framed windows lend a sense of lightness. Inside, warm materials and clean lines define the space, where exposed beams and natural stone blend with minimalist cabinetry and modern finishes. The result is a refined yet tactile palette that reflects the landscape in tone and texture.
