Autumn nights, starlit firelights, smoke rises, like bright sparks our spirits fly.  

Here are some beautiful homes with great fireplaces and firepits.

 

1. Beargrass Lodge, at Iron Horse, Whitefish, Montana 

Outdoor fireplace

This custom-built, contemporary estate celebrates the great outdoors with its alfresco fireside lounge and heated courtyard patio. 

Constructed in 2023, The Lodge is privately situated on 1.5 acres in the Iron Horse golf community in Whitefish, Montana, minutes from Whitefish Lake and the four-season Whitefish Mountain Resort.  

Fully furnished and turnkey-ready, the 8,524-square-foot stone and timber residence is well suited to year-round entertaining. The great room, with its cathedral ceiling and monumental log-burning hearth, has double-height windows onto the great outdoors. Adjoining is a custom kitchen with a butler’s pantry and an alfresco space for cookouts under the stars.   

 

2. Beaux Arts Townhouse in Chicago, Illinois  

Outdoor fireplace

The masterfully designed roof terrace of this stately Chicago townhouse is illuminated by a contemporary fireplace, which makes for memorable entertaining by day or by night. 

This historic circa-1894 Chicago property resides on the tree-lined block of North State Parkway, one of the most coveted streets in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood.  

The stately, five-story Beaux Arts mansion was designed by George W. Maher, an architect best known for his Prairie style, and a long-time friend of Frank Lloyd Wright.

4. Casa Blanca Villa in Paradise Valley, Arizona 

Adobe-style fireplace

The Moorish-inspired interiors of this Paradise Valley villa delight the senses. The outdoors are equally alluring, with a fireside terrace, stone fountain, desert flora, and vistas of Camelback Mountain.  

Paradise Valley’s coveted Casa Blanca Phase 3 gated development is the setting for this effortlessly chic turnkey villa inspired by Spanish Revival and Moroccan architecture.  

The detached corner lot, gated for privacy, encloses low-maintenance xeriscaped grounds, where a stone fountain and raised kiva-style fireplace frames the sunset views over majestic Camelback Mountain.
