Mid-Century Modern "House of Sky"-- Richard Neutra Home in Missoula

Designed by world famous architect Richard Neutra in 1950 as a "Hollywood home dropped in the Rockies," this unique and (literally) airy house perched in the south hills has wraparound views of Missoula Valley and the mountains all around.

The open plan creates an spacious feeling, and (in warm weather) the enormous sliding windows bring you in full contact with the outdoors: cool and breezy in the summer, and in the winter— with a wood-burning stove in the living room-— a warm and cozy retreat to watch the weather roll in. We've decorated with a "handmade modern" feeling to make the most of the space (and the climate).

Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two offices; a bright balcony, sunny flagstone patio and big, sweeping lawn; private driveway with adjacent community park; new Bluestar 36" culinary stove; new dishwasher, fridge, washer, dryer; tall wide and handome (and completely restored) kitchen with views onto Mount Sentinel; bright breakfast nook; good sledding hill, fruit trees, shade trees— all make this a unique getaway for autumn colors, ski season, lilac spring or high summer.

You can walk onto the Highlands Golf course right above us, or hike up nearby Mt. Sentinel and Crazy Canyon in the summer. Or X-Country ski out the back door, or drive up the road to Pattee Canyon Ski Area, and warm yourself at our huge stone fireplace afterwards. Overlooking the University District, very close to shopping centers, great coffee shops (we recommend Clyde, Drumm, and Black Coffee), restaurants, a short drive or bus to downtown, 25 minutes to Snobowl, 20 minutes to airport, 10 minutes and you're at a cutbank above the Bitterroot, Clarkfork or Blackfoot rivers.

There a primary bedroom downstairs with a queen & private bathroom, two bedrooms with queen beds, and a kids room with twin beds-- good for kids, tweens, and kid-sized adults. Ample space for airbeds, and a couches. Four Bathrooms (three showers, two baths), many amenities for kids (including play area, doll houses, etc), wifi/broadband internet, cable TV + Netflix/Hulu, etc.

We have done much to bring this unique home back to its original glory-- burnishing a diamond in the rough, and the rough was pretty darn nice to begin with!

PLEASE NOTE: The entire house is available, except for: the GARAGE and the efficiency/ GUEST APARTMENT downstairs (with which you will share the washer & dryer). [Our co-host & long-term tenant lives on the site/ uses garage bay. ]
