The Kootenai Springs Ranch is one of the ultimate expressions of a western recreational property with the added benefit of good agricultural underpinnings and immediate proximity to a variety of goods and services
The main living compound of Kootenai Springs Ranch consists of five stone, log and glass buildings: the Main House, Guest House, Guest Wing, Greenhouse and “Boy’s Club”. The buildings in the main living compound are constructed of over 5,000 tons of locally sourced Kalispell stone, custom square logs, custom re-sawn cedar, Douglas fir tapered columns and roofs of core-tin steel or heavy shake shingles. The attention to detail is astonishing, such as exterior log columns that are scribed into rock bases and the massive single slabs of rock that comprise the mantles of the soaring fireplace. The master mason that completed the majority of the work artfully blended large and small stone to create visual interest, while towering steel and glass give unobstructed vistas from the comfort of your favorite easy chair. The Main House, Guest House and Boy’s Club are all picturesquely sited with their backs to a meandering spring creek and fringed with ample stone patios, providing the perfect serene idyll just steps from the comforts of home.
Main Home
The Main House includes 4,292± square feet and contains a single master bedroom in order to preserve the privacy of its owners.
The kitchen in the Main House has a long list of outstanding features. It starts with a custom designed Baultup stainless steel kitchen featuring a butcher block island surrounded by stone and stainless steel. Marble counters, a Miele custom built-in coffeemaker, Traulsen refrigerator with backup freezer and extra refrigerator, two warming drawers, two dishwashers, wet bar with separate ice maker and refrigerator provides a short list of the many outstanding qualities of this space. Add to this a kitchen media area with kitchen fireplace and you can easily imagine the kitchen as the beating heart of the house.
The master suite adds an ample dressing and bathing area with a distinctive Japanese soaking tub and associated amenities.
Around the corner is an office with custom built solid walnut desk that provides an easy way to stay in touch with the office while indulging in the sheer enjoyment of a residence in the heart of big sky country.
Guest HOUse
The Satellite Guest House was completed in 2018 with the same exacting attention to detail that characterizes all the improvements on the ranch. The house is approximately 2,000 square feet and offers three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths wrapped by a covered porch that runs around at least three-quarters of the home. A detached approximately 730 square foot two-car garage provides parking and attached to this is an approximately 120 square foot artist’s studio or hobby room, depending on a new owner’s preference. Radiant heat bolstered by a geothermal heat pump throughout the home ensures even temperature control throughout the year.
Boy's Club
The Boy’s Club (508± square feet) consists of one open room with a half bath and adjacent custom wet bar. The building features an intimate view, captured by floor to ceiling windows, of the arched footbridge crossing the stream situated right outside. Floor material and ceiling material is re-milled, reclaimed antique wood. The focus of the room is a monumental fireplace which also contains a small contemporary wood burning stove.
