Yup I like it to but I like the log cabin look. Price is not bad.

[GeoBoy]

Gene, that’s a nice cabin.

[Rifletom]

That is nice. You only have to be in Billings to get supplies. Damn nice place Gene.

I like the Base Camp home and in one of those pictures a very nice place for a shooting range!

The base camp was 50 feet from a busy highway and was covered with vegetation to hide it.

In the cabin home it was close to a busy shop. Another home had 20 cars around.

Hey All,

Likely at best 2.5 months of house hunting season left this year if you are looking at Montana.

I admit I'm curious about what you don't like about Billings. I've had two aunt's a great aunt and uncle a grandmother probably other relatives too that I don't know about all of whom lived in Billings at one time or another in their lives and I did over the years (small child to adult) visit all of them. As a very small child I lived in a trailer house just outside laurel on the southside of I90 on the billings side. I'd have no problem living in billings. Prefer it to Butte for sure unless maybe if Luigi's was still there probably the most unique bar I've ever seen. I do miss listening to Luigi a one man band who played polkas an Neil diamond the times I was there. Just imagine hearing red red wine then the beer barrel polka then he ain't heavy he's my brother while watching all the animated figures. Good times.

Have you looked around Wyoming at all?

Good luck continuing the hunt!

Oh well so much for that!

There goes the neighborhood.

This is the latest and greatest. I see something like this and start to move my furniture and pictures into it. And then find out it’s built on a toxic dump site. Well maybe not that bad.

I have been thinking the shed would make a wonderful target backstop inside of it. Open the door and shoot into it.

The big downside I see is it is next to a road. The 7 acres is about 278 feet by 1,250 feet give or take. I’m thinking the house is up against a hill maybe 100 feet from the road but also 50 feet above it. The driveway takes up the full length so it can gently climb.

The house has everything I need and nothing more. I found one beautiful home with its own landing strip and plane tie downs. I just saw it as something to eat maintenance money.

Billings is an oil town and I don’t care for the air. When I drove long-haul the Walmart extra to Billings up from Denver was one of my favorite drives.

For the most part I want western Montana. East of the divide a hundred miles is okay but after that it’s to windy and cold with nothing to to.

This link shows hikes right from the backyard of of of the homes.

Mud Creek in the bottom left is where the home is.

Right from this backyard. The seven acres borders the national forest. Satellite views shows it would be a scramble in open brush up to the forest service trail. Or I could drive three miles to the trailhead.

Two things I have really appreciated with the homes you have shown is the incredible trophies hanging on the walls and the creative way some folks have furnished and decorated their homes. I feel like a peeping Tom but I’m really enjoying seeing the way people have laid out the rooms. Of course us folks here on the Henry site are partial to the trophies and the western/country style of the decor.

I agree. Around here decor is more of luxury. I never really realized it till now but Montana is my kind of decor. A plain outside and all the comforts inside.

I wonder what it’s like to depend on the Forest Service to keep the road open in the winter?

[North Country Gal]

That's a question you should ask with neighbors, not the realtor.

It seems like that you are doing your homework. That is a good question. It would be a question of mine also.

This home in Wisconsin would cost twice the price in Montana and three times the price in the Seattle region.
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1073 ... 7424_zpid/?
It’s getting insane. Prices can not double in two years. I’ve noticed properties go under contract, then pending then come back on the market. Banks only loan about 80% of the value. A $500K house would require $100K down. If the seller is asking $900K for it the bank will still only loan you the same $400 and would require $500 down.

My agent has told me the same thing.

[Sir Henry]

Don't think much of the wiring of the breaker panel in home #1. Guess I've watched too much Mike Holmes.



Done right
