Architect Peter Stein of Gallatin Gateway, Montana designed the home. It was featured in "Fine Homebuilding" magazine's April/May issue in 1982, written by Wink Davis who was the original owner. Below is a quote from the article:

"Gazing down into a gentle, bowl-shaped meadow, we found a site with everything we had hoped for -- privacy, proximity to town, an open view and a plentiful supply of firewood. The south-facing slope allowed full exposure to the low winter sun, while trees and hills formed natural windbreaks to the east and west. It was the perfect site for the passive solar home my wife and I wanted to build."

The article goes on to describe all their design and building choices, and how well they found the passive solar features to work"

"We have found that as they said, enough sun to cast a shadow can heat the house, and overnight the mass keeps the living space from ever cooling below 55 degrees, even with very cold outside temps. A fire in the woodburning stove and double cell honeycomb blinds on the windows keeps the house cozy in the evenings, and we have never used the electric heat that is available. In a world ever more cognizant of the environmental cost of electric energy and associated greenhouse gases and needing to move toward renewable energy -- this house effectively does just that!"

$985,000 - SOLD!
