The acreage life without the two-hour drive to get to it. 43 acres in Billings -- blacktop frontage, Billings R-IV schools, and about 25 minutes to Springfield. The 3 bed, 2 bath home [sits back off the road/overlooks the pasture] with partially updated kitchen/open living/wood stove and a covered porch where you can see sunrise and sunset. You'll actually spend your evenings outside, that is where it sells itself: fenced pastures, [pond/creek/rural water], a large [shop/barn] with [power/concrete/stalls], and acres of hay ground that pays for itself. Bring the horses, run a few head, put in the garden you've been drawing on napkins -- or lease the grass out and just enjoy the quiet. This is workable, usable ground, already set up, not a raw field you'd spend three years fixing. Homes with real acreage this close to town don't sit long. This isn't a move its a lifestyle.
