Love the view of the first one. But the others would work also.

The satellite view shows four houses fairly close to each other and then not much else.

Just because I am that kind of guy, I think I could live out my remaining days in that 1925 log cabin. To me, that kind of peaceful quiet, is just my style. Why can't wives appreciate that kind of rustic life style?

They should post pictures of how it looks in the middle of winter.

Yes, I've had the same thought when looking at all the pics.

Hey All,

Everywhere you look you seem to circle back to northwest Montana.

I'd be perfectly happy in a place like this - under contract tho.

The stillwater is great fishing. Good hunting not far. And you could be hiking at over 10000 feet elevation in about an hour.

There was a really nice place just outside a billings that has now sold.

Some of the listings do.

It’s too far from Starbucks! I think it would make a great vacation property.

Part of my problem choosing a new home is I love my current house. It’s a rambler and has a combined kitchen and family room which is where I live most of the time. I very seldom go in the living room although I do like looking into it as I pass it. I bet I’ve only eaten in the formal dining room a dozen times in 33 years.

Last week I had the sheet rock completed on the new doorway I put in almost two years ago and I stained the bare doors to match the rest of the house.

I have just over 2,000 sf of No 1 common white oak floors and they look like a million bucks. No man made floors can complete with the natural wood. They may photograph well but in person you can tell the difference. I also have several Persian carpets. I spent a fortune on floors and have Goodwill quality furniture.

This is going to be hard to give up. Here Little Girl rests in the foyer that leads into the formal dining room.

I’m waiting for the home in Fortine to drop below $500K. I think it’s overpriced now. I’m taking a chance no one will bid on a home 20 miles from Canada. It is in the middle of nowhere yet is near a couple hundred people.

I have PTSD and can’t live in a remote place without going off the deep end. I made a promise to a dozen other Vietnam Veterans I would not withdraw from society and must not break that promise.

I had a difficult time today remembering events and broke down and wept for a couple hours. I regret some of the things I did in Vietnam with every fiber of my being.

I’m okay now.
