Under the Big Sky is a symphony of clear skies, snow- capped peaks, starlit nights, and a chorus of natural harmony—the cry of an eagle, the splash of Bitterroot trout, and the sigh of gentle breez- es among the aspens and pines. As with all symphonies, all the elements work together in harmony with the surroundings, adding a special grace and beauty of their own. This ranch is unforgettable, a tribute to nature and to those who value special places. From every window, gaze at pastures,
forest, and the Bitterroot range’s majestic Totem Peaks in in the distance. Here rock and stone, magnificent timber and pleasing light are enclosed in an inspired architectural composition. The outdoors is welcomed, even
embraced. At every opportunity a permanent view has been captured and framed by glass, creating a lyrical tableau of nature’s happenstance, a distinct marvel in this age of technol- ogy. Doors give easy way to courtyards and decks, to patios, fire pits, and seat- ing areas, eventually to the meander of trails, carefully traced among the forest, springs, and ponds.

“No matter where you are in our home, the views are spectacular. Nothing makes me happier than to wake up in the morning and enjoy the peacefulness of the ponds, forest,
and mountains.” Dan Floyd, homeowner
