Bassist Jason Newsted—who played with Metallica in the 80s and 90s—listed his modern alpine home in Montana this month with a $4.95 million asking price. The house sits on a 545-acre lot bordering protected lands.

The house is a 5,800 sq. ft. timber frame design with walls and partial ceilings of glass, stone tile floors, and a wide-open living style that tempers Montana rusticity with a refined feel. The highlight of the common areas—aside from the views—is the rusticated stone fireplace, a majestic presence and a symbol of profound solidity.

The bedrooms culminate in a master with a soaring glass wall that continues into the ceiling, an astonishingly liberated space. Amenities include an art studio, and there is a caretaker’s home with a two-bedroom apartment and a greenhouse on the lot.
