After years of vacationing in Big Sky, the owners of Alpine House knew this was the place they wanted to build their dream home. Nestled in the high-country forest beneath the shadow of Lone Mountain, the home embodies a timeless alpine aesthetic in a spectacular four-level blueprint. Alpine House is all about Big Sky, filled with charming touches that reflect the owners’ love for the great outdoors.
The home is open and expansive, with the feel of a traditional mountain lodge and unparalleled views. Superior craftsmanship shines through in stunning logs, hickory and slate floors, and locally harvested rock for the dramatic three-story fireplaces. From the exterior, the house is perfectly proportioned with classic lines and functionally elegant details – like covered porches and small balconies – all of which allow it to blend seamlessly into its forested setting. Tucked deeper into the woods is the family’s “clubhouse” – a charming log cabin in its own right – which boasts an indoor target range, a pool table, and a handsome bar.
The technical demands of building slope side, at high altitude, posed a worthy challenge with exceptional results – a home that blends luxury and livability through unparalleled craftsmanship.
“We wanted a local builder, someone who lived in the community, who could be easily reached and who cared about the quality of their work. Blue Ribbon Builders fit that bill perfectly. We didn’t have to go through any anxiety, and we couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out.”
