The Glass House - Chico

Glass House Montana is a brand-new luxury home on twenty private acres in Paradise Valley, built to dissolve the line between the wild outside and the considered within. Rising from the open prairie against a backdrop of mountain peaks, the dark-clad, modern barn house is anchored by a full-height glass gable that glows from within at dusk — and gives the house its name.

THE SPACE

Inside, the double-height great room is grounded by polished concrete floors and a clean-lined gas fireplace. A marble island seats six beneath a brass globe chandelier, opening the kitchen straight into the living space. Light oak cabinetry and hand-laid tile keep the kitchen warm against the modern palette. Featuring Fisher-Paykel appliances, the kitchen is stocked with everything you need.

Two king bedrooms each have their own en-suite bath. Above, an open loft holds two queen beds and a sitting area beneath a vaulted ceiling, framing the mountains through the gable glass. Every bed is dressed in hotel-quality linens, with bathrobes provided throughout.

Step outside and the patio takes over — dine under the Montana sky, then end the evening at the firepit with Emigrant Peak as your backdrop. You could stay on the property the whole trip and still leave satisfied. But everything worth doing in Southwest Montana is within easy reach.

The location is key. While you are on your own private 20 acre retreat, Chico Hot Springs is a mile away for dining, spa, hot springs, and horseback riding. The Yellowstone River offers world-class fly fishing. Sage Lodge, The Old Saloon, Wildflower Bakery, Follow Yer Nose BBQ, and a top fishing outfitter are five minutes away in Emigrant. Livingston, with its music, galleries, and restaurants, is thirty minutes; Yellowstone National Park's north entrance is forty; Bozeman is an hour.
