My folks and i loved livin in montana years ago...1960's and on weekends we visted everywhere in montana. The people were so friendly, and towns clean.
Well, from what I have been able to find on various real estate sites. A person (such as myself), retired with a well above average pension cannot afford to purchase any house in Bigfork. Or pretty much anywhere in Montana.
It looks like Montana is getting hit hard like Oregon. Lived here in Oregon my whole life, and now we're getting SWAMPED with people from all over the place. It's running the prices up so high that real working people can't afford it.
@@tamaradavis3168 yeah, in what year. Because the property values have gone up 38 percent just in the past 9 months. U mean your husband could afford it. God hates boasters.
I grew up enjoying bigfork watching my dad kayak the swan which he still does. I would hang around the village and explore all over. I wish there was still as much to explore but much of it is turning into private property slowly but surely. That's just the way it goes and that's life, and that's okay. But there is still much to enjoy anyway and I will always cherish my memories no matter what! To all who move here, I welcome you here and I just hope you enjoy the land and see it fit to be kind and neiborly to the native Montanans and all people and let us continue to explore enjoy this place😌
Went down a rabbit hole today and found out about Bigfork. Did a search on RUclips and found this video. The area looks amazing. I’ve lived in the Baltimore/Washington area my whole life, I’m 59 but would have love to retire in this type of area. Thanks for sharing the video.
I'm just seeing this now. My father lives in Bigfork, in the homes along Eagle Bend Golf Course. He moved up there in 2004. We used to live in Bigfork in the mid 80's, before moving back to California. I went to Bigfork Middle School and at the time my father was principle at Bigfork High School. I have alot of fond memories of Bigfork. I'm looking forward to traveling back up to visiting my father soon.
such a beautiful are. I've never been there, but that what you captured is just absolutely amazing. You are very fortunate to live in that area. One day I will buy a house there, I promise.
Being a recent subscriber to your channel and not knowing the geography of Montana it would be nice if you could start your videos with a map of Montana and indicate the location you are going to feature and its relation to some of the larger cities. Thanks
That is a beautiful football field!! Another beautiful football field is “Whitmore Track and Field” which boasts an uninterrupted view of the sierras in the mammoth lakes area.
Well, you should see the football field at San Lorenzo Valley H.S. in Felton, CA. The big redwoods come marching down to within yards of the track. Gorgeous redwood / Douglas Fir forested hills and Valley only a few miles north of Santa Cruz.
Too isolated for me I heard the winters are brutal & if your car or truck breaks down you're pretty much on your own. Not for me I'm more of warmer climate person.
THIER not worth eating and they fight like a log! We call them garbage fish. We're trying to eliminate them and it's not Bigfork lake! It's Flathead lake and the 97th largest lake in America. And it will freeze over in the winter.
Far and few between…there are some folks who are attempting to integrate it into the primary “country” genre that (over)saturates the music scene here. I was born & raised in WV and have been here off & on for 25 years. I love the country but not country music..to no ones surprise, it’s a huge part of the culture here & something I just try to tune out, lol. Would love to hear some bluegrass around here 🙌
Extremely unlikely you are going to see Grizzlies right in Bigfork, but is possible in the nearby mountains. It's a beautiful town and an excellent vacation spot. As far as wildlife goes you will likely see deer and bald eagles. Great place to charter a fishing boat, great sports bar scene, shops etc. Nice nice cabin rentals, I highly recommend as a vacation destination.
I love the part about pricing. Thanks to the a holes from California that destroyed there state and flocked to MT. You have 2 options for pricing as stated below. With Or with out grease. And thats the truth......
Love BigFork. I played Eagle Bend about 10 years ago. Absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to get back to that area.

I retired and was able to purchase a house in Montana
Housing prices are high right now; you should wait until they go down.

The big housing crash is coming soon per economists
Then purchase a home at a reasonable price

You certainly have spectacular views in that part of Montana. The autumn colours are so vibrant too. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. Cheers!
Do a follow up video with the Christmas lights downtown!🎄
Lived in Ferndale 20 years ago. Very peaceful and beautiful. I'm fortunate enough to get back every year to stay with friends.
What a beautiful area .

Be ready for 6 months of winter and snow. A rose has thorns...
I stayed in the tepee's in Bigfork last July. My wife and I really enjoyed shopping at the Golden Girls !
Apparently Will didn't think his out-of-state viewers were jealous enough. Nice tour, thanks.
The Bigfork Theatre is the best part of this lovely town

That's exactly what I was thinking
WOW!!! That is by far some of the most beautiful country I've ever scene. Sure beats East Texas, where I'm from.
i am going to live there some day!! loved the video!!
THIS A PLACE AMAZING,THIS IS DELICIUS,BIG FORK IS LIKE PARADISE,OUR HAVENLY FATHER THE BLESSING BIG FORK...
The sky looks nice over there!

It is a beautiful little city ! I would love to live there ❤
It's not a city! It's a village with a population of less than 5000.
Gorgeous spot 😍
Just moved in actually on the golf course really nice town so far
Polson....Three Dog Down... neat place.
What’s the average snowfall there? How often do you get a white Christmas?
I didn't even know about this video 😅 YAY!
I love this video
Love the lake area. Love this video idea, great job, are you getting leads from this?
Tons
beautiful
Too isolated for me I heard the winters are brutal & if your car or truck breaks down you're pretty much on your own. Not for me I'm more of warmer climate person.
What is Polson like? The outskirts.
Been there, ex girlfriends parents have a home on the swan river. Beautiful area.
can you do one about 3 forks or bozeman i hate the traffic in bozeman but it is absolutely beautiful
I'd love to move to Montana but there's no way I can afford to live there. Connecticut born but hate it here. I'd love to move to a red state.
Well then fellow conservative, you're sure welcome in our state! We are red for sure. Check out Hamilton in the Bitterroot Valley!
Bigfork is the last town heading south before entering the Flathead Reservation.
I can’t believe you didn’t mention the 20-30 pound lake trout in big fork lake. World class fishing!!
THIER not worth eating and they fight like a log! We call them garbage fish. We're trying to eliminate them and it's not Bigfork lake! It's Flathead lake and the 97th largest lake in America. And it will freeze over in the winter.
@@mikewinchester433 largest freshwater lake west of the missippi.idk where you got 97th..
Why are homes on > 10 acres ( non - subdivision) nicer quality, so much more expensive than comparable ones in North Idaho? Any thoughts?
the duttons make me afraid to move to Montana
I will need to contact you. Been thinking of liquidating two properties and buying in Montana for retirement, hopefully mortgage free. Ty
Do they have Bluegrass

Leavenworth, Washington is the Christmas Town!
want to know where off road trails are not all of us are into walking
☑️
Anything on Bear Dance?
Is there any undeveloped land in Montana for sale? I'd like to have me a small piece about 5 to 10 acres
What about fishing
Phenomenal👍 There are also fishing charters available as well :)
I assume you are a realtor, are there any bare lots available in that area that are over an acre??
Yes, email me at teammontanalife@gmail.com and I can send you what is available.
🙂👍
Imagine being a idiot and buying a house in this market. I'll wait for the dump
Any Grizzlies 🐻?
Yeah. Go hiking but be sure you have a bottle of tums! You out-of-staters give them heartburn!
Yes, there are grizzlies, black bear and mountain lions here👍 Bear spray would be a great investment if you plan to do any hiking 🥾🐻 😊
Extremely unlikely you are going to see Grizzlies right in Bigfork, but is possible in the nearby mountains. It's a beautiful town and an excellent vacation spot. As far as wildlife goes you will likely see deer and bald eagles. Great place to charter a fishing boat, great sports bar scene, shops etc. Nice nice cabin rentals, I highly recommend as a vacation destination.
Be sure and bring bear spray ( human seasoning) helps get the bad taste of the out of staters out of the bears mouth.
@@tomphillips3162 parents live on Ranch Road. Couple of young grizzlies on their street just a month ago
No inventory and priced out of the market
Bigfork Gun Club for shooting rifles up to 300 yards, pistols, and skeet/trap shotgun shooting.
Whisky Shooters
Can you explain. How the and where the law works on indian lands work and if they get along with America's
Umm....what?????
You never truly own the land, doesn’t matter if you have " deed" or not if your not a tribal member.
Real Estate is inflated it’s disgusting
Still not as pretty as Lake Arrowhead CA
I love the part about pricing. Thanks to the a holes from California that destroyed there state and flocked to MT. You have 2 options for pricing as stated below.
With Or with out grease. And thats the truth......
