What the Professionals Tell Us To Look For When BUYING MOUNTAIN PROPERTY

Waterfront homes and river property are a far better investment than a cabin for sale that is not on the water. Riverfront property will increase much faster than other mountain homes that are not next to water.

WHAT YOU NEED TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING RIVER PROPERTY
The location needs to offer Tons of Outdoor Activities: water sports (water skiing jet skiing, on mountain lakes. Crystal clear rivers for kayaking, canoeing and inner tubing), world-class lake and river fishing, Golf, hiking, horseback riding, great ATV trails, animal viewing, hunting, snowmobile and cross country skiing in the winter. Waterfront cabins aren't nearly as marketable if there isn't plenty for the family to do close-by so make sure there are plenty of activities for the family. 
                                              

A key factor is location, and this mountain cabin is located in one of the country’s hottest second home markets in the U.S., Island Park.
Island Park is strategically located on the border of western Montana, and Wyoming, a short 26 minute drive to Yellowstone and 1.5 hrs to Jackson for a fun day of upscale western shopping, art galleries and dining. Other interesting towns like Virginia City and old mining towns close by also make great day trips.
Love to fish? One more reason you will love this area,  IP is famous for its river and lake fishing. The Henry's Fork of the Snake River, Henry's Lake, the Madison River and other favorites are some of the top spots for fishing in the Northern Rockies.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK

Unfortunately, agents and owners aren't quick to disclose that some lake cabins and river property don't have year-round water.  Your beautiful view and access to water may be mud as early as the end of June or first part of July. Seasonal river property means they are not full year round either. This mountain property for sale is on a river that spring fed. There is water all year.

WHY WE CHOSE ISLAND PARK

Before we decided on this river property, we did a ton of research on mountain properties for sale from California to Colorado, Utah to Jackson Wyoming. Vacation spots like Bear Lake Utah. And Big Bear Lake, Bass Lake and Lake Arrowhead in California. Although each had some nice features, none of these vacation spots have all the activities and endless beauty you will find here, especially at this price point.

Jackson, WY is another coveted spot but even in this economy it has a budget busting 2.5M + price-tag on any waterfront homes for sale.

River property is a fantastic investment, especially now that prices are down because they will appreciate faster and higher than other mountain properties that aren't on the water.. Please email us at yellowstonefever@gmail.com  if you have questions about the 3400 sq ft river property we have for sale. Believe me, this waterfront cabin for sale has a setting that will take your breath away.For more ideas on vacation hot spots in the west visit this site... http://travelinthewest.com
