Find out about Montana
Montana is home to our office headquarters in Bozeman and a place we consider very special. The first thing that strikes you about Montana is the size - it's a big place. While it's the fourth largest state, it's sparsely populated. In fact, animals outnumber people.

"We were very skeptical at first to buy land through the mail. Buying land without seeing it first seemed risky and crazy! Naturally we checked out your references (every one of them) and were impressed. Your guarantee spoke for itself also. We were very pleased to find that your land was just as pictured and described; a pleasant surprise. We look forward to building and living on it upon retirement."
Mr. and Mrs Frank Silva - Colorado.

Dividing Montana into thirds and traveling from west to east, the western third is an area of small but plentiful mountains and thick tree cover. The climate is similar to the climate of the Pacific Northwest.
The central third of Montana, just east of the Continental Divide and west of Billings is still mountainous but the mountain are much bigger, the ranges further apart. Stretching out between the mountain are broad, grassy valleys. Montana is home to some of the world's most famous "Blue Ribbon" trout streams. Yellowstone and Glacier Park, two of our nation's most famous national parks lie within the state.
Traveling east, toward the Dakotas, Montana flattens out into the northern plains. Rolling hills and praire stretch to the border. The landscape is dotted with farms and ranches where grain and cattle are raised.
Montana's climate is as diverse as the terrain. Generally the climate is dry with cold winters and warm summers. Of course, the weather differs considerably, depending on your location. High mountain towns, like West Yellowstone, get more snow storms and cold weather because of the elevation. We do get snow and cold, but the snow storms pass quickly and the cold last for short periods, usually less than a week. Many days are characterized by blue sky and lots of sunshine.
