It looks like Teddy Roosevelt slept here from the outside, but this cutting-edge platinum LEED-certified home is new. Highline Partners, Montana homebuilders that specialize in sustainable building, built a rustic cabin that looks as though it could have been a trapper's house 100 years ago, while meeting the clients' desires for a sustainable home.
