Contact me for more information, I'll direct you to the Realtor selling it.

Lot 77, 29.570 acres with spectacular views and nice building sites. Power is across the road and phone line goes through the lot. Fenced with smooth wire "horse-friendly" fencing. Better than "seasonal access" due to lower elevation. A "must see" property.

Here is apic of part of the property in the winter:

How much? Now that would be a nice place to retire. Reminds me of "Legends of the Fall"

You got anything a little flatter??

Where I am taking the pic is about 10 acres of flat, and green pasture-type area. The wifes standing near the edge of the property. I am standing where we would have built a porch on our A-Frame. We've decide to re-invest the money into a piece of land up on Flathead lake area.

This lot here is 70 miles North of Yellowstone. Right below us is probably one of the best trout fishing rivers in the state, Madison.

Snapperhead, email for the price.

Almost forgot one of the best parts of this area, You also have fishing rights to two mountain ponds. No such thing as 12" trout there, you start at 2 lbs.

Looks great Rip...but I won't buy US property.

Has to do with Estate taxes and the possibility that if I died while owning US property I'd lose half of the value to your wonderful government's tax authorities.

It's too bad. My sister was looking to buy a condo in Colorado for skiing trips. It would have been nice to have use of that. She asked me what I thought of the property and I mentioned the wee tax issues that could, in a worse case scenario, arise. It killed the idea.

My neighbors here in WA don't think like you, they think investment and have most of their lives. They're in their early 50's and retired because of such investments.

Curval,

If you are seriously interested in buying property in the US you should hire someone who knows US tax laws. To lose 50% of the value because of the estate tax would require remarkable financial ineptitude.

First, there is a $1.5 million exemption. How much property were you going to buy? Secondly, if you leave your property to non-US citizens, I'm pretty sure they don't have to pay a US estate tax.

If you can afford to buy more than $1.5 million in US property, you can afford a decent tax attorney to guide you through the paperwork.

Why on earth would I do that...even if I could.

The elimination of estate taxes would be a republican desire...not a "tax-all" democratic government.

I hate Kerry.

Are they non-Americans?

Curval, I'm pretty sure you can buy and sell property without being a US citizen, the taxes you pay for a sale is 28%.

Think investment.
