So I was in Montana over the weekend. Not a vacation, but a grandma's funeral.
On our non-funeral day, we went to Red Lodge, a cutesy ski town not far from Yellowstone. There were 4 or 5 brokerages in the little downtown, all featuring the listed properties on color copies in the front windows.
It's funny -- vacation property always seems so much like home, and so much not like home.
Cute 1 bedroom bungalow in a good location? $179,900! Just like the swanky neighborhoods here!
Overdone, new construction, too many finished square feet for anyone other than a family of ten -- $799,900! Just like here!
616 acres of open land -- $189,900!
Hold the freaking phone! Over 600 acres??? Here, good open land goes for much, much, much more. A quick search of the MLS for parcels in excess of 600 acres brings me listings well above a million dollars. The climate in Montana is very arid, and I would imagine the 616 acres is only good for grazing land.
But I do have this fantasy of buying up a lot of vacant land. They aren't making any more of it, you know.
