Exclusive hand-carved accents, crafted by artisans in Oppdal, Norway, bring old-world craftsmanship into every room. At the entry, a hand-carved portal modeled after the Urnes Stave Church, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Norway, sets the tone for what's inside.The expansive great room is anchored by a two-story, tapered Montana rock fireplace, framed by eloquent panoramic windows looking out on a world class view.
