Because it checks most of the other boxes! Mountains, Water, 2A, Enough civilization, Hunting, etc. It may just be too cold. and I'd have to be on the lookout for Conrad.
I said 'semi'-rural, meaning not being in the middle of a 50000 acre ranch, but not the insipid 'suburbs' either.
Budget $5-600
Tn's income tax is pretty attractive.
Don't know why holding a fish offends someone, and don't know why you'd ignore someone for it, but whatever.


I can’t see where I said anything about your fish - what’s up with the comment?

Anyway, based on you comments I don’t think Montana is for you - it’s snowing here at my house as I write this...

That kind of money gets you a lot in the mountains of western NC or eastern TN. There are a lot of lakes in the area and a lot of public land. Finding a place that backs up to the National Forest is still pretty easy. I'd buy land now and build when the stupid stops.


It doesn’t get you much in Montana.

Note: The people we encountered in the small towns of Oregon were fiercely conservative, mask averse and very friendly. There is some wide open spaces from Burns to the Idaho border that looked really good to me. Who knew?

To the OP. I would locate in Idaho Falls and have an Airstream to travel where the weather, hunting and fishing dictated.

Leaving the West for the south...or Texas is out of the question.

I'm a big fan of Southeast Montana.
Plenty rural, better weather, beautiful country!
Billings, Bridger Laurel area. Plenty to do. Great fishing and plenty of open land. Go east and south from there!
Western south Dakota?

I suspect that it has been a while since you have been to Idaho Falls, it is booming like the Boise area. I have acquaintances who live in that area who say "WTF" is going on here - I can't believe the way this area is growing. It is not just Idaho Falls itself but the whole surrounding area is growing like crazy, prices are going up and the average time for property to sell has gone from weeks to days.

Happy_Camper made a comment about the fish. No idea why. You were just collateral damage.

It is the location that I find most attractive. A days drive from some of my favorite places.

Most of the Oregon Coast is conservative people, except for Lincoln, Lane, and Clatsop County.

Eastern Oregon is the same, with the exception of Bend, Oregon, which is loaded with California liberals who came up in the late 70’s and early 80’s and did a huge land grab of spectacular properties.
