This Precision Craft log home was constructed in 2001 and thoughtfully renovated in 2004, bridging the divide between rustic charm and modern efficiency. Located a short 15 minute drive to all of the various downtown amenities offered by Bozeman, it rests in the mountains on 20 private acres with a large shop and equipment barn. The living room features a custom cherry wood desk along with built-in cabinetry that continue into the kitchen and dining room. Massive windows provide grand views over a valley of pines and aspen that stretch the distance to Bridger Peak. Storage is not an issue thanks to an ample amount of walk-in closets. Radiant floor heat replaced a forced-air system which has since been converted into an air filtration network, circulating warmth in the winter and cool during the summer months. On the second floor, the ceiling leading to and including the master bedroom is lined with skylights. You'll fall asleep under a blanket of stars, glad to be at home in Montana.
