You’ve been dreaming of wide-open skies, peaceful land, and the freedom to build a life on your own terms. But there’s one catch—you’re not in Montana… yet.
The good news? Buying land in Montana remotely is not only possible—it’s easier than ever, especially when you know what to look for and who to trust.
Whether you’re planning a move, retirement, or investment, here’s how to confidently find the right property in Montana real estate—no in-person visit required.
What to Look for When Buying Land Remotely
When you can’t walk the property yourself, it’s even more important to ask the right questions and focus on the right details. Here are the key things to consider:
1. Lot Size & Usability
Make sure the land fits your lifestyle. Want a home and a shop? Room for RV storage or animals? Look for parcels that are at least a few acres. At Collier Ridge, every lot is 4–7 acres—giving you plenty of space and flexibility.
2. Location, Location, Location
Choose land that gives you privacy and proximity. A remote property sounds great—until you’re an hour from the grocery store or hospital. That’s why Collier Ridge’s location—just 10 minutes from Billings—is ideal for remote buyers looking for rural living with modern convenience.
3. Restrictions & Zoning
Not all land in Montana is created equal. Make sure the property has minimal restrictions and no HOA if you want the freedom to build your dream home, a shop, raise chickens, or store your outdoor gear.
4. Utilities & Access
Is the property build-ready? Ask about power, road access, and water options. A trusted real estate partner should be able to give you clear answers and guide you through next steps.
