Big Sky Real Estate Market is Rising

December 19, 2012

Foxtail Residence Big Sky Log Cabin 2 — Big Sky real estate market gains momentum

The Big Sky real estate market is bouncing back. Big Sky Weekly editor Joseph O’Connor succinctly reported that the “growth on the national housing market [is[ reflecting a local trend in Big Sky and the greater Gallatin Valley.” Interviewing many longstanding members of the Big Sky real estate world, builders, and materials vendors, O’Connor gets a full perspective on just how good the the growth of the real estate market really is.

In the Yellowstone Club sales are up 30 percent. The Gallatin Association of Realtors reports a 31 percent increase in home sales by the third quarter over last year’s report. Simkins-Hallin ( a local building supplier) is reporting a slight improvement in the market since last year. And even architect Jamie Daugaard of Centre Sky Architecture is closing 50 – 60% of inquiring clients this year as opposed to only 10% in 2010.

There is evidence that the Bakken oil fields are contributing to the increase in the real estate market. Many tradesmen are now commuting between the Gallatin Valley and North Dakota to increase their incomes and are investing in the Big Sky real estate market. This is a win-win for everyone since the downturn in the building market in 2008.

While homeowners are ratcheting back their new home designs to reflect a more conservative outlook on the overall economy, they are now investing in real estate with more confidence. This is a great indicator of the real estate growth that is gaining momentum. We anticipate this growth to continue steadily not just in Big Sky, but across the country.

November 12, 2012

Teton Heritage Builders is proud to announce that one of our custom Big Sky homes was published in Log Home Living June 2012 magazine! The Koselig Hus log cabin is located in the Club at Spanish Peaks in Big Sky, MT and was designed by Centre Sky Architecture. This rustic-meets-contemporary home will undoubtedly be showcased in many more magazines in the years to come. In fact, it was also featured in the Wall Street Journal in 2010. We couldn’t be any more excited about the accolades this home is receiving.

This luxury cabin boasts breathtaking, panoramic views of Big Sky. A custom built log cabin, Koselig Hus has everything imaginable from Montana made fixtures, an impeccably designed interior (by Carole Sisson Designs), a food lovers kitchen, and modern bathrooms with all the amenities. It’s no wonder Log Home Living wrote an article on this Big Sky cabin.

Glowing Client Testimonials

April 25, 2012

Teton Heritage Builders has been erecting custom buildings for 16 years throughout Montana and Wyoming and we are certainly not ashamed of any part of our past. In fact, we are very proud of our custom homes and commercial projects in the Northern Rockies. To us it is no coincidence that our impressive building resume comes with a long list of glowing client testimonials.

As part of our standard practices we recommend that all of our potential clients contact our past clientele to get the scoop on Teton Heritage Builders. We know that this is a fairly common practice for most businesses, but we are also aware that clients can be selectively left off the reference list for varying reasons. That is not how we operate. We open our rolodex to potential clients as far back as they want to go. Whether it’s for a high end commercial project in Big Sky, Montana or a new residential project in Jackson Hole, we are happy to put you in touch with all of the homeowners from our past.

Time and time again we speak with potential clients who are dumbfounded by the overwhelmingly positive feedback they have heard. One person in particular was surprised to hear not even one negative comment from the references that they contacted. It’s a good problem to have when a potential client hears nothing but honest, glowing testimonials. To that end, the entire Teton Heritage Builder’s team urges you to hear the client’s side of the story straight from the source.

Is it our fault homeowners have nothing but praises for Teton Heritage Builders? Well, I suppose you could say that it is our fault. Our mission statement was crafted specifically to bring out the best in our employees and our management process fosters employees who love coming to work. We are ecstatic that our values and dedication shine through to our clients and are reflected in the finished product. Everybody from our President to our skilled finish carpenters are proud each time we deliver a new home which exceeds the expectations of the homeowner. We couldn’t be any happier with our reputation for building excellence in Big Sky, Montana and Jackson, Wyoming.

Don’t take our word for it! Head to the TESTIMONIALS page of our website and read some quotes for yourself. And if you still aren’t convinced we will be happy to personally put you in touch with our past clients so you can hear for yourself.

Carhartt Chooses Teton Heritage Builders

March 20, 2012

International clothing giant Carhartt chose Teton Heritage Builders in their quest to find hard working construction professionals to photograph for their 2012 Fall men’s collection. Our guys didn’t have to think on it for too long before accepting the offer to become Carhartt models.

The construction seasons are long and rugged here in the Rocky Mountains. So to meet the demands of our job we all wear Carhartt pants, shirts, hoodies, jackets and beanies. If Carhartt makes it, you will see it on our job sites. Simply put, it is high quality gear that lasts for a long time in our work environment. We see Carhartt as an essential tool for the job. As we’ve done many times in the past, this year our employees received Carhartt jackets with the THB logo embroidered on the chest for Christmas.

We were surprised to get the phone call from Carhartt asking about our interest in being photographed for their Fall clothing line. Though we aren’t shy guys, typically we don’t jump at the opportunity to be in front of a camera. This scenario was different in that we truly believe in the product that we were being asked to represent. So our decision was pretty easy to make.

Peter and Ben met with the production crew one Montana morning and tried on various articles from their upcoming Fall clothing line. Armed to the teeth with the coolest Carhartt gear you could possibly need in the Northern Rockies, we took the Carhartt photo crew around to a few of our job sites to get some action shots. It wasn’t a big ordeal to get photos – our guys acted like it was another day on the job. We did get a few funny looks for having brand new clothing on compared to the well worn Carhartts that is the norm. We were certainly the center of attention that day!

Poking around the Carhartt website I immediately spotted Ben at the top of the Men’s clothing line page. I’m told that Peter was also featured on the website, but it has since been replaced with another photo. And word through the grapevine in Big Sky tells us that Peter was spotted in a full page Carhartt magazine ad recently. We can’t wait to see more photographs pop up throughout their advertising campaign. Let us know if you spot one of our guys in a Carhartt ad!
