I had a fellow tell me yesterday that someone has purchased and just got subdivision approval on all/most the Missouri River frontage stretching from Townsend to Three Forks...They said it will create 2600 housing lots or ranchettes.....

You guys know anything about this?
 
I can sure see it happening tho- with most of everything from Bozeman to Three Forks already bought up and built on...This area would be in pretty easy commuting range of either Bozeman, Butte, or Helena....
 
I have a neighbor who is friendly with Clarence Van Dyke out there near Manhattan.. Comes back to Illinois and tells me waht the ground tehre is going for and I just have to gasp.. You could kind of see it coming when I was out there but it sounds like the snowball affect is in full force.. Nothing out in that neck of the woods but rattlesnakes and speed goats.
 
Well that's pretty much what happened with Leachman Angus from Bozeman. They were grtting built around and had an offer they couldn't pass on.

It's too bad, but the fact of the matter is that here are too amny people with too much money.

In our area here irrgated acreage is going for $4000 to $5000 per arce. Three years ago $3,000 an acre was unheard of.
 
had a big write up in the Bozeman Chronicle about it the other day....more playground for the wealthy and "foreign" around here....my sympathy goes to the residence of 3Forks....Lord knows what this will do to this little town...figure it's gonna end up doubling the size of the town and probably the school...as if these folks didn't have enough problems with dealing with the overflow from bozeman!! :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Well if somebody offered me $5000, even $3000 an acre they would be the new owners of about 300 acres of these mosquito bottoms and I would be sitting on some sunny beach in Mexico with some senorita sitting on my lap teaching me how to drink tequila...
 
Get this...the hills of Ga. went from $2500/acre about 10 yrs ago to $25K acre! And that's not the pretty land either.

The ' scenic' views start about $100K per lot ( .5 acre)!

That's about how bad it's getting here!!! Our radiology tech just moved here from wyoming and bought himself 10 acres of land just south of us and he paid more for that lousy 10 acres than he made off the sale of his 50 acres in Wyoming!!! How pathetic!! The hospital is being rebuilt and they recently purchased 3 acres of highway-front property outside of town and paid 1/4 of a million for it!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
 
Here also property prices are crazy. A 20 acre piece of adverse on this place is going for 23000 an acre. I may live and work in the desert but I sure wouldn't give that kind of money for a piece of it.

I am suprised lazy ace hasn't asked if you'll take him with you....come to think of it, how much do you want for that land? :wink: :P :wink:

Cheers---

TTB :wink:
 
That figure is for land that will be continued to be farmed! The land that is going for development is well above that.
