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).
The Salmon Prairie Ranch is located in Western Montana’s Swan Valley in the middle of two of Montana’s most dramatic mountain ranges: the Swan Range and the Mission Mountains. This is the heart of the Crown of the Continent and many trailheads leading into the massive Bob Marshall Wilderness (1.5 million acres) are a stone’s throw away. The ranch itself has 3.2 miles of boundary with an ocean of Flathead National Forest and almost a mile of both sides of the Swan River. A comfortable three bedroom two bath log home is tucked into the trees on a hillside overlooking the meadow and across the river at the snowcapped Swan Range. Another cluster of improvements located in the meadow include a barn, guest cabin and more. A two bedroom two bath manager’s home with a detached garage provides the opportunity for an on-site manager to keep an eye on things. There are two wells and water rights for 54± acres of flood irrigation. A conservation easement encumbers approximately one-third of the acreage. Wildlife and trout abound here, and the views will put your jaw in your lap.
