This Moonlight Basin cabin is 800 sf, has 2 full bathrooms, full kitchen, and sleeps 6 comfortably. We recently remodeled this little unit and turned what was a very ordinary cabin into a little gem. Take a look at the gallery of photos for an inside look.
With the highs and lows of the national economy – Big Sky continues to grow up as a town & community.
For a couple of decades after Chet Huntley opened Big Sky Resort in 1973, the Southwest Montana ski destination was an odd anomaly – not quite developed enough to compete with the Vails and Aspens of the world, not quite big enough and charming enough to have a strong sense of place, and not quite close enough to anything to be a likely spot for intensive real estate development.
Inevitably as construction and land costs bottom out – new home sales have started rising throughout the country.
The term “buyer’s market” has been tossed around plenty in recent months. But most home buyers don’t grasp the full meaning of the term until they get ready to shop.
After a rough second half in 2008 and a devastating spring, the region’s housing market has made some gradual improvements in recent months. But while sales are increasing slightly, the selling price of homes remains as low as most real estate agents can recall.

The Clubhouse at Black Bull, like the golf course, is designed by one of the country’s premier practitioners of his trade-architect Jerry Locati. Jerry has created a “rustically-elegant” Clubhouse that embodies upscale-yet-casual Western living. As the centerpiece of Black Bull, the Clubhouse will be a tastefully commanding presence, featuring timber and stone accents, and expansive picture windows that enhance the breathtaking 360-degree views of the Gallatin Valley and surrounding Rocky Mountains.
The Corral, Black Bull’s temporary clubhouse, is open for members and features men’s and women’s locker rooms, shoeshine area, golf shop, restaurant and bar, and has direct access to the pool and hot tub. Professional-grade tennis courts have been designed to take advantage of the panoramic views that define the community.

A new Montana law that requires contracts between builders and customers goes into effect October 1, 2009. The law, which looks to add a bit of standardization to the building process, will benefit both the consumer and the reputation of the building industry.
