Stop in for a cup of coffee

I actually have the wife almost on board with my Montana plan. Although she wants to keep a place here and use the Montana property as thing to fly out too in the summer time.
Better check the history of land values and future prospects for development. Otherwise you are likely only going to get a 2-3% return on investment (at best) when conservative funds are paying 3-4x that. Waste of funds unless it’s just a Dream house...and not an investment.

The boonies of Montana are not likely to ever pay back the lost opportunity of investing somewhere else...no matter how long you wait.
