Perched above Big Sky in the Diamond Hitch community, Mountain Veil looks out over timbered ridgelines, with sweeping views of Lone Mountain and the Spanish Peaks. Designed as a year-round residence for a multigenerational family, the ski-in from above and ski-out from below is built for the unique pace of mountain life – gear-heavy winters, long summer evenings, and everything in between.
A study in balance, the home is spacious yet efficient, modern yet warm, crafted with materials chosen to endure seasons, weather, and time. Its wide-windowed, three-level layout mirrors the flow of the family’s days – gathering together, hosting guests, and taking time to recharge – all with the mountains in view.
The main level centers around an open kitchen, dining room, and great room, anchored by a curved blackened-steel staircase. A primary suite sits quietly off the main living area, offering privacy without distance. Upstairs, an office and study hall offer quiet spaces to work or relax. On the lower level, a recreation room and guest bedrooms open directly to the outdoors. A dedicated gear zone – with ski-in/ski-out access and custom lockers – supports an active, all-season lifestyle.
Covered decks and clean material transitions extend the livable area outside. Inside, the layout allows easy movement from the slopes to the hearth without cutting through the central spaces. A lower-level mudroom connects directly to the ski zone. In the garage, a Rotary SM14 car lift makes it practical to store two Porsches vertically – a space-efficient solution that protects the vehicles through seasonal transitions. Custom, powder-coated Baldhead Cabinets deliver commercial-grade durability and hardworking utility. Throughout the home, modern-tile floors, tongue-and-groove Hemlock ceilings, and blackened steel details offer both resilience and character. Custom White Oak cabinetry, black-stained Walnut island panels, and frameless Maple casework bring warmth and texture to the kitchen, and a limestone Silvertip fireplace anchors the great room with a presence that feels carved from the land itself.
Small details carry the same clarity of purpose: recessed outlets in stone backsplashes, cabinet hardware aligned with architectural lines, and lighting chosen for cohesion and restraint. Together, they create a home that feels elevated, timeless, and deeply personal.
Mountain Veil reflects the ethos that defines Blue Ribbon Builders: exceptional craftsmanship, pragmatic design, and a deep understanding of what it means to build well – and live well – in the mountains.
"Quality is probably unmatched, attention to detail, communication was as good as it gets, can't tell you how many times they solved a problem with three solutions to the problem, easygoing, even keeled, non-explosive work environment." - Owner
