Whoever runs away with this modern mountain house in northwestern Montana won’t have to worry about travel time to an airport. The getaway is one of only a few with year-round fly-in/fly-out convenience.  

The five-bedroom, six-bathroom home along Whitefish Airport enjoys 360 views of the Flathead National Forest and the Rocky Mountains. 

The two-tone contemporary is clad in natural and stained wood. An extended roof overhang supported by thick wood beams and wooden columns creates a covered deck on one side of the home. Irregular-shaped windows add visual interest.

A great room with floor-to-ceiling indoors and a corner fireplace sits inside the front door. The open-plan space encompasses the kitchen, one of two in the home.

The oversized center island has a cooktop and bar seating for 10. Other features include a farmhouse sink, stainless appliances and a walk-in pantry.

The primary suite is also on the main level, while three more bedrooms surrounding a common area make up the second floor. Views take in Whitefish Mountain.

The third-floor entertainment level features a large living and game room area with a fireplace, the second full kitchen and a spa tub.

The finished basement contains a den, a laundry room, storage rooms and another en-suite bedroom for a total of five bedrooms and five bathrooms within the 5,720 square feet of living space. 

A circular paved driveway accesses the three-car garage.

In addition to the main house, there are approved plans for a 2,300-square-foot guest house and a private airplane hangar.
