timber frame barn
The home sits on more than 7 acres alongside Lake Koocanusa, which stretches 90 miles from northwestern Montana into Canada.

timber frame barn and mountains
The Canadian Rockies frame the view at the far end of Lake Koccanusa in Montana, where the barn home stands tall amid pine forest.

converted timber barn
Jacques Berten says the home was built with “the concept of Ying and Yang,” the ancient Chinese philosophy of opposites embracing each other. The startling contrast between the traditional feel of the extensive timber framing and the open loft-like living levels are the most notable example of this approach.

modern barn interior
A dramatic wall of windows offers a glimpse of the three different living levels in the cathedral-like interior.


modern barn kitchen
The cabinetry in the well-outfitted kitchen features blonde bamboo and a darker carbonized bamboo. The design of the cabinet doors boasts modern functionality  while still echoing the traditional barn-door form.

funky barn dining area 
Neill’s love of fine woodworking is readily apparent in the dining area off the kitchen, which includes a handmade dining table and sideboard of bamboo.

indoor lagoon bar
A small pool and fountain on the lower level provides the reassuring sound of moving water for those quieter nights enjoying the fire.

barn loft bedroom
The master-bedroom suite is nestled amid the rafters on the top level like an eagle’s aerie. Views of the rest of house can be taken in from this vantage point, as well as gorgeous vistas of the lake and mountains.

bathroom in timber barn
The home features a range of high-end elements, including an elaborate master bath that comes with separate shower and tub and walk-in sauna..
