River Dance by Mindful Designs, Inc. (Whitefish, MT)

Perched on a bedrock cliff 100 feet above the turquoise Flathead River, this wilderness riverside dream home captivates the imagination. Walking through the great room onto the expansive deck with clear railings, majestic bird’s eye views take your breath away–the winding glacial river far below, to the thick timber forest and neighboring mountains. This homeowners’ dream fishing cabin is intentionally not accessible to the river below filled with cutthroat trout, as their central vision for their mountain escape is low impact on the surrounding pristine wilderness, especially the Flathead. 

Principal Marty Beale of Mindful Designs, who completed his undergraduate studies in ecology, environmental science, and sustainable building/design, was the perfect custom home builder to bring this eco-conscious couple’s dream to life. Many aspects of this stunning timber home incorporate themes of green building and sustainability, an ethos Mindful Designs embraces.
