Full Description

Located right on the beginner Swift Bear ski run for easy access to a wide variety of family-friendly terrain, Moon Rider Ski Chalet boasts prime ski-in/ski-out convenience to the Big Sky ski slopes. Drive 5 minutes to apres-ski at Big Sky Mountain Village and just 15 minutes to restaurants, shops and entertainment at Big Sky Town Center from this magnificent 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom log home.

Custom-crafted from massive durfeld logs from British Columbia and hand-peeled red cedar, Moon Rider Ski Chalet will delight enthusiasts of mountain architecture and design with its use of natural materials and rustic appointments. You’ll find skip-sawed fir wood floors in the living areas, slate tile and copper sinks in the bathrooms, and granite countertops throughout.

Forming the focal point of the residence, the two-story great room is styled in Southwestern decor and framed by a floor-to-ceiling window highlighting a dramatic view of Lone Peak. Two full-length leather sofas and red leather armchairs surround a unique coffee table in the style of a Native American drum. Gather for cozy evenings around the large-screen Smart TV and wood-burning fireplace constructed of a custom soap-stone boulder piece by Tulikivi, crafted in Finland and rebuilt in the home.

With seamless flow between the living and dining areas, guests can interact with each other from the kitchen breakfast bar, dining table, or living room. The country-style kitchen features custom hardwood cabinetry, granite countertops, and four stools at the breakfast bar. Your inner chef will be inspired by the induction cooktop and Wolf oven. Enjoy sit-down meals at the round, 8-seat dining table with a view of the main-level deck. Overlooking the living area is a loft family room with a seating space and office.

Above the 2-car garage is a separate apartment with a wrap-around sofa, large-screen Smart TV, full kitchen, 2 bedrooms, and 4-seat dining area. This area also has a laundry room and 2 bathrooms with walk-in showers. A small balcony offers views of Lone Peak while a large private deck overlooks the woodland grounds outside.

Five bedrooms, evenly spaced for privacy, comfortably accommodate up to 14 guests. Furnished with a Queen Bed and styled in lodge decor with log furniture, a bearskin rug, and Southwestern accents, the sunny main suite is conveniently located on the main floor. Guests have a private entrance to the deck and an en-suite bathroom with dual sinks and a glass walk-in shower.

Ideal for parents with small children, the second level suite sleeps up to 6 guests between a King bed and a set of built-in Queen bunk beds. The room has a writer’s desk, kids’ play area, and an en-suite bathroom with dual sinks and a step-in shower. Another guest bedroom is located on the lower level and furnished with a Queen bed. This room has a charming antique desk, reading chair, and two big picture windows as well as an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. A large screen Smart TV was strategically placed in this room to also be seen from the hot tub on the outdoor patio.

Two bedrooms are found in the separate apartment located above the garage. One bedroom is located just off the second living area and offers a Queen bed and mountain views through a big picture window. Another bedroom in the apartment, outfitted with two Twin beds, is in a loft space.

Skiers of all abilities can enjoy access to the beginner-friendly Swift Bear run, which follows the Cascade chairlift. Advanced skiers can easily reach more varied terrain while kids and novices enjoy a host of wide, green and blue runs surrounding the home. In the garage there are boot dryers, benches, and ski storage lockers. There is also gym equipment including a weight bench and exercise bike, still with room to park a full size and a mid-sized SUV.
