Raised between Alabama and the Cayman Islands, Bill joined Hall and Hall as a ranch partner in the fall of 1996. He came to Montana to work as a fly-fishing guide and ranch hand during a summer break from law school. Bill returned to Montana after graduation and became the Tribal Prosecutor for the Crow Tribe. In addition to his law degree, Bill holds an undergraduate degree in music from the University of Miami and remains passionate about his music. He is also a skilled photographer specializing in underwater imagery with images having been published by National Geographic, the BBC and elsewhere. He is an FAA licensed UAS (drone) Pilot which he uses for real estate photography and cinematography. He is also a hospice volunteer and dedicated practitioner of hot yoga. It was inevitable that he found his way into a real estate career as the profession stretches back four generations in his family. His love of the northern Rocky Mountain region compelled him to move to Missoula where he handles transactions in the “backyard” as well as those stretching from Florida to California. Bill is currently licensed as a real estate broker in Montana (RRE-BRO-LIC-8609), Idaho (#AB00021997), Florida (#BK3229636), Georgia (#347418), Tennessee (#317360), and California (#01455038).
This 69.28± acre property fronts directly on a world class fishery, the Bitterroot River, for one-third mile with a 7,800 square foot home that serves as an exquisite example of fine architecture with Frank Lloyd Wright elements unlikely to become dated. This prime stretch of river features riffles, runs, deep pools, and an island with a large sandy beach. Views to the west offer a broad unobstructed sweep of the glaciated Bitterroot Mountain Range, with deep canyons stretching west beyond the Idaho border. All this is reflected in the pond just steps from a large covered deck. The property includes a century old remodeled farmhouse, tree nursery, barn, potting shed and irrigated meadows. The town of Hamilton and the Sapphire Mountains lay to the east. Immediately across the river and the cottonwood-lined banks is a flood plain, which cannot be developed under current regulations.
