**UPDATE**
After giving up on purchasing a property north of us in the Hamilton Montana area due to real estate being ridiculously high we ended up purchasing a home on just under three acres close to the towns of Pound and Coleman off of Highway 141 about an hour north of Green Bay Wisconsin.
The property is the last part of land that has been owned by the same family since 1866 so we are the 2nd owners. They sold off the major part of their property gradually over the years and this is the final piece with a house and outbuildings.
The property has a 4 bedroom home with a full DRY basement, a very large barn/storage building, another small garage and yet another shed on 2.7 acres and our purchase price is $315,000
For that amount of money you would not be able to purchase a 2 bedroom 1 bath single level home with NO garage on a 1/4 acre lot in the Hamilton, MT area.
Glad I'll be able to make an annual migration back to Salmon Idaho to hunt/fish or I would probably go nuts.....but we will find new things to do and with Green Bay and Lake Michigan close bye I may just end up getting another boat!
Stay tuned, I have a pile of "HARDWARE" to move not to mention all the household stuff!!
