Seems a lot of money for a home. For that here I'd expect to get a nice new 3 bed detached conventional built house on a lotissement, [ small housing estate, usually 11 houses max ], with 1/5 acre garden. Or an old farmhouse for renovation with a barn bigger than 4 mobiles and a couple acres of meadow. There must be rural areas in the States with similar potential - after all building materials are the same price world over and labor here in France is an astonomical cost, [ US$15 an hour just for the social security tax, let alone compulsory liability insurance, 19.6% sales tax, income tax, etc. ]. How about Montana? Just saw a tv prog about a dude ranch - the folks there impressed me as really nice. Only the winter to worry about - I guess it gets cold?
