Set on one acre in Mount Ellis Meadows on the southeast side of Bozeman—just outside the city limits and connected to the area's expansive trail system—this immaculately maintained 2,540-square-foot home awaits. The property pairs clean contemporary architecture with mountain views and an unusually strong connection to the outdoors. Its carefully designed building envelope emphasizes insulation, airtightness, durability and year-round thermal comfort.
The home incorporates a panelized, highly insulated wall assembly that creates an exceptionally airtight building envelope designed using Passive House principles. Cascadia triple-pane fiberglass windows and doors admit passive solar warmth and abundant natural light while strategically framing mountain views from several living spaces. These specialty fiberglass frames are particularly valuable in Montana because they resist warping, rot and large temperature swings while expanding and contracting at nearly the same rate as the glass. Other thoughtful design elements include a metal roof and a Greentek fresh-air ventilation system.
Inside, wide-plank white oak floors bring warmth to the streamlined interiors. The inviting open kitchen is well suited for entertaining and features flat-panel cabinetry, an oversized island, open shelving, a full-height tile backsplash and Fisher & Paykel appliances.
The main living space opens to an adjoining courtyard that functions as a private outdoor room. Poured-concrete hardscape, custom steel planters filled with colorful perennials and a fire pit create a central gathering area framed by mature aspens and native boulders. Beyond the courtyard, the grounds include native, low-water landscaping and perennial plantings, front and rear irrigation, an approximately half-acre fenced backyard, an additional steel-framed patio with Bridger Range views and room to expand.
The primary suite enjoys its own mountain outlook and opens to the hot tub. Its en suite bath offers a freestanding soaking tub, radiant-heat flooring, a large tiled shower and understated modern finishes. An oversized two-car garage with a dog wash, whole-home water filtration and a fire-suppression system complete a thoughtfully built home where architecture, materials and everyday livability work beautifully together.
