The view is the point.
Rising from the open prairie against a backdrop of snow-capped peaks, Glass House Montana is a modern barn house defined by its full-height glass gable. The dark-clad exterior settles into the landscape by day and all but disappears at dusk, while the window wall glows from inside — which is where the name comes from.
A double-height great room, grounded by polished concrete floors and a gas fireplace. Windows run floor to ceiling under the gable, with nothing between the room and the mountains but glass.
Built for cooking, not heating something up.
Fisher & Paykel appliances run the length of a marble island that seats six, under a brass globe chandelier. Open to the great room, so no one cooking is cooking alone.
Two, both en-suite.
Two bedrooms with king beds, each with its own en-suite bath, both shower only. Every bed dressed in hotel-quality linens, with bathrobes provided throughout.
Fall asleep under the gable.
A loft above the great room, open to the gable and the view, with two queen beds — the extra two of the eight this house sleeps.
It works all day. Morning coffee up here, puzzles and board games in the afternoon, and in the evening a wide-open view for a nightcap before bed.
Twenty private acres.
No visible neighbors, Emigrant Peak on the skyline. The house sits alone on the open prairie of Paradise Valley, between Livingston and Yellowstone — forty minutes south — with nothing between the window wall and the mountains but grass.
Pray, Montana. Paradise Valley. The land is the setting — the house was built not to compete with it.
