Finally in a position to move. House is sold. I’m looking for any helpful info on relocating. Initially I was looking into Wyoming but I can’t find anything suitable in my price range. I prefer a cabin or property in a mountainous part of the state. I continually read that Montana is turning into a liberal state. I don’t want my new home to turn into my old one (NJ). Should I be looking at another state? I’m an avid hunter, fisherman and trapper. What part of the state has the most variety of (huntable populations) game? Most of my research says the game populations are falling in the NW part of the state. I guess that’s wolves at work?? I love to predator hunt so bears and wolves are welcome neighbors. I’m not a fan of people so I don’t want to be near a population center. People generally suck....at least around here they do. I have a pension so I don’t need a job so that isn’t a factor. I’m hoping to fly out in May to check some properties and maybe piggyback a little bear hunting onto the trip if the weather cooperates. Thanks Take this for what it's worth but I'd look more in WY. The tax situation is a lot better in WY and from what I've been looking at, so is the cost of housing. Finding work on the other hand may be easier in MT.
Camp is where you make it.

Sammo, that is awesome ..... and true....;)
Brad & BobMt, the O.P. indicated he wanted something simple and off grid , so the $1million 20 acres is not an issue I am guessing?
You want to live among liberals with views, lakefront etc.... ya a huge budget is the ticket. But a simple off grid cabin should be doable for the budget he has.
The point about the well is a very good point, I call it the well casino, you may win you may lose... never know till ya try. I bought my land with the knowledge my neighbors wells were 60' to 100'
My well is 250' feet so that has a big impact on the budget.
All this being said I am taking the O.P. at his word that he wants remote and off grid, it is up to him if he can handle that lifestyle, he needs to be honest with himself, it aint easy...
I did my land shopping in winter, that way you can asses how the access will be during the winter.
If he truly wants to be a hermit I believe he can achieve that with his budget. If he wants views and "pretty people"..... no, you cant have too much money for that...
What is the cost per foot of a well in your part of the country?

Deflave , my campfire life coach, beer drinking buddy and so called friend shows up at my house drinks all my beer, goes home wont answer my calls then I find out through the campfire he has moved to Florida and became a socialist........ So I have decided my new life C.F. life coach is Big Stick..... He told me I was a drooling dumb phuuk and get off yo couch..... I know Stick likes knives so I decide I need knives, I cant afford ingram knives on my $600 mo. disability check so I decided to befriend Gruff ( he has a forge) so I pulled the leaf springs out of mt truck and am strapping on my snow shoes to head up to the arctic to the Gruff outpost/homestead and forge me some knives..... At least I dont have influenza (only cabin fever) so there is a chance will survive out here on the frontier......

Tzone,
We are currently experiencing a housing boom and if you can even find help they are charging top dollar, I believe around $150 to $250 a square foot.
You can find a few acres for around $100k , as others have said the well is a wild card......
I built my place 4 yrs ago and material and land was cheaper. I did all the work myself except pouring the foundation, drywall/texturing, and insulation. My cost for just the house was around $60.00 sq. ft.
I have less than $300k total, house/land / outbuilding etc....
Ooops sorry tzone just re-read your post and saw you were asking about the well, best I can remember it was around $50.00 ft

I like your cabin Norm....... Here is mine It is on grid and in a kinda liberal free zone, so no pretty people.... ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/Jh9nMz63/IMG-1780.jpg) That is a sweet setup, ifubar! Love it! Thanks for the compliments guys, I built this cabin myself and it is connected to the grid and did it within the budget the O.P. proposed. It sits in the middle of my 8 acre lot about 25 miles from town. Feels much more remote than it is. Cant see a neighbors house and never will. I have a handgun range in the back, a lake within 1/4 mile and endless back country within a mile. I have had moose, elk , bear, deer of course, and Mt. lion in the yard. It was a ton of work and not without risk but it is doable....... When my cabin grows up, it wants to be like this one.

Fubar, Thank you! I will take you up on that invitation in the near future. It’s very helpful when local talent can explain the pros and cons of areas when considering buying a home with land...Jud will be a hoot for you to hang with. He’s a solid dude! 😎

I should grow alligator arms if Flave is around? Yeah, that won’t work for me...I hate cheap-asses who won’t buy a guy like Trav a Shirley Temple when he’s a broke-dick...Grins 😎
