Big Sky Barns in Montana

24' x 30' Plymouth Carriage Barn & 44' x 60' Riverton Monitor Barn, Big Sky, Montana

On a timbered hill in the Big Sky region of Montana, these two post & beam barns have a breathtaking view of Lone Peak. A 24' x 30' Plymouth Carriage Barn is used as a primary residence, while a 44' x 60' Riverton Monitor Barn has a garage on the first floor, with a finished guest suite in the second floor loft. These post & beam barns feature horizontal shiplap siding with rusty metal wainscotting and standing seam metal roofs. They were cut from Douglas fir timbers, and are now surrounded by a forest of Douglas fir. Both timber frame barns were shipped out as kits and raised simultaneously by local crews. Enjoy the beauty of post & beam anywhere in the nation with a timber frame kit from The Barn Yard. Read on for a closer look at these two incredible barns.

The Plymouth Carriage Barn features an 8' wrap around porch, two transom dormers, and plenty of character. The deep brown tones of the exterior complement the surrounding landscape. Inside, this barn is used as the primary residence, fully finished with a kitchen, living room, bathrooms, and bedrooms. A gallery style second floor loft creates tall ceilings in the barn’s great room. The builder finished the barn with a service cavity detail, concealing the utilities and electrical while keeping the timbers exposed. The two dormers, each with windows, let more light in to the barn’s interior.

The second floor loft, with a footprint of 20' x 60', is a fully finished guest area, complete with a kitchen, seating area, and bedroom & bathroom. Like the Plymouth Carriage Barn, the Monitor Barn was finished with a service cavity detail, leaving the timbers exposed on the interior while concealing the utility lines and electrical.
