  • Description
    We’ve lived in Montana for many years, but even after building dozens of homes in some wonderful locations, there are a few settings that really stand out as simply magnificent — and the Gatekeeper’s Creek homesite is one of them. Built on a bluff above a spring creek off of the fabled Madison River, the views from this home are simply drop-dead gorgeous, sun up to sun down. The interiors subtly echo the classic ranchlands that surround the property, with hand-hewn timberwork and exposed structural steel for a rustic-but-refined look throughout. Copious use of stone and timber accents serve to further capture and convey the Montana vibe, and the beautiful back-to-back moss rock fireplaces provide the ideal place to relax either indoors or out. There’s a separate wellness studio with similar appointments, delivering yet another quiet spot from which to reflect on the singular beauty of the Madison Valley.
