Information is paramount in any investment decision, the purchase of a home, ranch or vacation property is no different.  Market trends, community absorption rates and average sales prices are but a few insights that we aim to deliver to our clientele.  But as important as these aspects of a purchase may be, we also recognize the importance of what professionals provide value added services, where you can take your kids to see mountain wildflowers or what the trout have been rising to on the local rivers.
 
The interaction that we hope you will have with our team extends beyond the transaction and into the lifestyle, experiencing this place with you.  Check back on a frequent basis to find information on Montana homes for sale, market data, architects, builders and project managers or just to see where to get a great dessert or that first cup of morning coffee.  Feel free to comment or post questions and we will do our best to give you a glimpse into “Life Wide Open”.

Old Moonlight Basin Review

  FEBRUARY 20, 2006   The fantasy began when I pulled up to the base of the Yellowstone Club, an hour south of Bozeman, Mont. The concierge staff took my keys, my boot bag, and my skis. Then they parked the car, unzipped my ski bag, placed my skis on the snow near the lodge, and planted a pole on either side. All I needed to do once I was ready to hit the slopes was step into the bindings and go the short, flat distance to the nearly empty chairlift. As I watched the staffers lay out my gear, I thought to myself: "Those guys are crazy! Somebody's going to steal my skis." Unlike the ski areas I typically frequent, however, theft is not a worry at the Yellowstone Club. Nor are lift lines or lack of powder. Of course, you do need a minimum of $3.5 million in net worth and an invitation to join. The fees break down into a $250,000 initiation charge and $16,000 in annual dues. P ...

Yellowstone Club Developer Blixseth Seeks Judge's Ouster in Bankruptcy Case

  By MATTHEW BROWN STORY TOOLS order a reprint digg this save to del.icio.us BILLINGS, MONT. Real estate mogul Tim Blixseth is acting as his own attorney as he seeks to disqualify a bankruptcy judge who slapped the former billionaire with a $40 million fraud judgment. Blixseth founded Montana's Yellowstone Club, a private ski resort that fell into bankruptcy after Blixseth pocketed hundreds of millions of dollars. His move to oust U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Ralph Kirscher comes after an appeal's court last month faulted the judge's approval of the club's 2009 sale. That $115 million deal passed control from Blixseth's ex-wife, Edra Blixseth, to Sam Byrne of Boston-based CrossHarbor Capital. On Monday, Tim Blixseth alleged he was cheated in the deal -- and that Kirscher allowed it to happen. Tim Blixseth said he filed the disqualification motion himself because his own attorneys and others he had contacted in Montana feared retaliation if they took the case. The ...
