Yes, those are wild turkeys in the yard....they roost behind our house every season, in the treetops against the mountain. We live at the end of the three sided valley and it is a natural weather shelter. The valley itself is a 'banana belt", warmer than the surrounding areas during the winter and a little cooler during the hot summer.
We must leave eventually. The Native Americans are opting to fire all the mental health professionals and '638" the medical and behavioral health programs, to allow them access to the money and direct the programs as they see fit. This has happened in state after state and is a natural development.
The house is a hunters dream; Elk, Mule and Whitetail deer, Cougar, Antelope, Grouse and Turkey near by. The best Elk hunting in the state is arguably in the Mo. River breaks, 20 minutes from my home down a dirt road. The house is situated in a scenic limestone cliff faced valley, in the town of Zortman in the Little Rocky Mountains at about 4500 feet above sea level. These mountains got their name as Lewis and Clark when first spotting them from the Mo River thought they'd reached the Rocky Mountains.
There is BLM land all around the one acre plus property, and a mountain behind the house. The 3300 + sq foot home is heated by propane fired radiater pipes and vents systems, as well as a catalytic convertor wood burning stove which uses very little wood. Five bedroom, 3 bath with one recessed tub, there is also a large rec room, a livingroom with a approx 18 foot high ceiling, a balconey off the master bedroom and the hallways and doors are extra-wide to allow wheelchair access.
There's a fixture for a generator outside the home, and we have a 440 electric box service, if I said that right; the one usually reserved for small businesses. There's a detached two car garage, insulated. The house was built into the rock of the mountain and has a large concrete retaining wall as part of the foundation in some areas and seperate in others. This is approx 9 feet high and maybe 8 or 9 inches thick. That's how it got the compound name, as well as my second amendment zeaoltry.
Land values are lower in Eastern Montana, but this reacreational valley is just starting to get attention and prices are climbing fast. Whoever gets the house will also get a sound investment.
Sigh. I'll always have a part of my heart left behind when I leave. We worked for years to get here, but now Life has made a decision and we must leave. IN a way, I blame myself. Maybe if I'd written more, tried harder I could have sold a book and paid the morgage off. Man!!! I am going to miss this wonderful peace. Life is also about loss and change, and we need to sell this home.
Thank you for looking, write me at munk49@yahoo.com if you or a friend are interested. I'd rather sell the house to a good guy from the forum than a bean counter from NY, but of course bean counters need love to and a place to live.

I just sent the wife an email and a link asking if she wants to move to Montana.
price of living is high here in Alaska, and Russia is starting to look like a pretty bad neighbor.
*sigh* I'm only dreaming.
I'm truly sorry to hear your having to leave that place, Munk. I think your immense love for it (good and bad) is pretty apparent to anyone who has ever read your posts.

That is a nice place.
The house is about 3000 times nicer than mine.
A house that nice in such a beautiful place should sell quick.
But man, hard to leave such an awesome place IMO.
All the pics you have posted before of the beautiful scenery and the rocks, you just don't get that everywhere.

I hear you Munk.
very sorry you have to move on. We are renting a little house out in the country, with much beautiful scenery, etc. Rifle range sort of on the way home from work. Contemplating another move next spring. Hope to find a place near a range, and hunting, etc.
All the best Munk!
