A wooded setting, a cul-de-sac, a mountain backdrop… there are few settings more quintessentially Montana than Little Mountain Road outside Whitefish. And this contemporary A-frame looks right at home. Surrounded by 4.56 acres of land, the residence is deceptively large, with 3,093sqft of interior space arranged across five bedrooms and two bathrooms. Its sharply pitched roof defines both the exterior profile and the internal volumes, giving the house a clear architectural identity rooted in the region’s alpine traditions. The form establishes a strong relationship between structure and site, with the building oriented to its surroundings.

Living areas are organised beneath the full height of the roofline, creating tall interior volumes that emphasise the geometry of the structure. Circulation moves easily between shared spaces and private rooms, supporting a flexible layout suited to full-time living or seasonal use. Practical features include built-in ski boot warmers, acknowledging the property’s proximity to winter recreation.

Outdoor living is supported by a wraparound deck, which extends the usable footprint of the house, alongside a fire pit and an outdoor hot tub set within the trees. The acreage provides privacy while remaining within easy reach of town amenities — downtown Whitefish is around eight minutes away, with Whitefish Mountain Resort around 18 minutes by car. The property is listed for $1.85 million with Sotheby’s International Realty.
