Well the wife and I are talking again about moving to Montana. I dont know the first thing about the state other than what I have heard or read. What are some of the good afforadable places to live that are remote in the mountians of the western part of the state? What about the eastern part of the state?
I can find work doing almost anything I think so I am not worried and my wife has a home business off the internet so we feel we can pretty much plug into any town.
Im not a rich man and everytime we look on teh internet for land and a home the prices look a little higher than what I would have thought.
anyway, any advice or info on the state would be very welcome.
thanks.
Back in 1991 I spent a fair bit of time in NW Montana. All over Kalispell-Libby-Whitefish-Eureka-Happys Inn. Almost got in a fight with a guy who was the spittin image of John Denver. I kid you not. Of all the bigger towns I was around I liked Libby and Eureka the best. Both cuz they were small towns. NOT Post Office-general store-1 saloon-1 gas station 2 churches small but small just the same. I am looking at land prices these days but wasn't back then.
If you buy a place in Montana you would do well to buy a good strong 4x4 WITH SNOW PLOW attachment or a good tractor. Easily one third of all trucks I saw while I was in MT had plow rigs on front end and 3/4ths of all trucks I saw were 4x4s. And I was there during the summer.
