The Montana Glass Home, painstakingly rendered by Cutler Anderson Architects, is a great example of modern construction. Combining architectural significance with a unique ex-urban location, the property artfully blends luxury appointments, natural amenities and outstanding recreation. Glass walls, tapered columns and a floor plan that flows as gracefully as the river in front, make it hard to distinguish indoors from outdoors. The land surrounding the home is its own masterwork. Sited just outside the city limits of Missoula, the property proudly occupies a choice location on the banks of the Bitterroot River and has approximately 1.25 miles of linear river frontage. The Montana Glass Home is a masterpiece of modern construction.
The assemblage of lush riparian habitat, verdant hay meadows and craggy scarps replete with wildflowers and eagles make it a tough choice to decide each day where to venture. This ultimate glass house consists of four bedrooms and four-and-one-half baths stretched across 6,800± square feet and is oriented on an axis running from north to south with the front of the house facing a warm westerly aspect.

Turning down the entry hall treed with the signature tapered columns favored by the architect, the open riser stairs split off and lead to a landing that could easily be compared to a tree-top platform on a far-off canopy tour. Further on, one passes a small family/media room with comfortable window seating that takes in the expanse of open hay meadows with the river beyond. Past the family room, the open floor plan kitchen/dining/living area is fronted and backed with floor-to-ceiling windows with virtually no walls in evidence. Looking west across the living area the river is easily visible. A mature and substantial flower and vegetable garden supported by abundant water resources, rich soils and a mild climate, the property seemingly has everything a forward-looking family could desire.
