The Home of Sally Uhlmann & Family - Western Tradition



Click here to read the entire article.

“One of the joys of building your own home is that if you pay attention, you can get all the details right,” says Sally Uhlmann of Bozeman, Montana. Her family’s home is a testament to that philosophy; from a custom fireplace built to exacting specifications for displaying an oil painting to a living room designed to accommodate a large heirloom rug, the traditionally-styled home is classic and elegant, yet perfectly at home in its Western setting.

A Place for Everything

Behind the scenes, the Uhlmanns’ home is outfitted with functional rooms and hidden spaces that serve a variety of practical purposes:

 
  • A spacious laundry room—with a view  “We generate a lot of laundry, and since I spend a lot of time there it’s essential to me to have a beautiful room with a drop-dead gorgeous view,” Sally says.

Flying High in Big Sky Country

Flying high in Big Sky Country

BELGRADE - When Gallatin Field General Manager Ted Mathis began working at the airport in 1981, there were 29 hangars for private planes.


ERIK PETERSEN/Chronicle Jets line the tarmac as Yellowstone Jet Center workers tend to them over President's Day weekend, an especially busy time for the Jet Center.
Today, there are 165, including the 17 new ones built last year.

When it comes to expensive toys, private planes are right up there. A modest model costs about the same as a new diesel pickup, around $50,000, and renting one of those new hangar spaces can cost hundreds of dollars a month. And then there’s the insurance and fuel.

Clearly, a lot of people in the Gallatin Valley have a lot of disposable income.

Most of the local planes run on propellers, but 27 private jets are registered here, too, Mathis said. And they comprise only a fraction of the private jet traffic.

The $100M house ..... (Big Sky, Montana) that Blixeth built...

The $100M house that Blixseth built

By SCOTT McMillion Chronicle Staff Writer

BIG SKY - This is the house that Tim Blixseth built, and it starts with 120,000 square feet - almost three acres - of boards and timbers and stone called the Warren Miller Lodge at the Yellowstone Club.


ERIK PETERSEN/CHRONICLE A pair of skiers rides the lift at the Yellowstone Club where 15 lifts carry a thin stream of passengers from mansion doorways to mountaintop, and lift lines are nonexistent. "That's your basic $100 million lodge," Blixseth said.

The lodge contains ski shops and restaurants, lobbies and bars and lots of big, gas-fired fireplaces. Fine art adorns the walls, bronze statuary stands guard everywhere. The wine list will blow your hair back, or at least the prices will. Almost everywhere you look, an employee is cleaning something. The furniture is heavy. The spaces are expansive. Ceilings rise and rise and rise. The heat bill must be incredible.

Upstairs, you find condominiums, some serviced by private elevators. The biggest condo measures 5,900 square feet and each one of those square feet recently sold for about $1,100. That works out to roughly $6.5 million.

And the lodge is just the gateway to this very private and expensive club, where nobody enters until the security guard gets the OK.
