Nestled into the woods of the Club at Spanish Peaks in Big Sky, Montana, this distinctive home was designed by architect Reid Smith.
Pushing the more modern edge of mountain modern, the Wilderness Ridge House hovers within the trees on a steep hillside with views from Lone Peak to Yellowstone Park. The house was set up as a glass box sitting on a stone base with a stone wall paralleling the hillside along the back.
This spectacular space boasts expansive windows, and an elegant steel structure. Artful infusions of stone and rough hewn elements create a uniquely contemporary and yet Western character.
Featured on the cover of Mountain Living Magazine’s first issue of 2017, where the homeowner boasts “I can walk into a room and be totally captivated by the Yellowstone Club, Spanish Peaks, Yellowstone National Park and some of the far distant mountain ranges.”
