Wyotana: Home of the Second Home


By ANNA BAHNEY

AGGED mountain peaks pierce the clouds as their nine-million-year-old spires 
loom above a patch of delicate blue harebells still wet with morning dew. The 
lake below reflects the shifting colors of the rocks — green at the bottom, 
gray melding to white at the top — as they stretch toward the infinite blue 
sky. Off in the distance, a moose slowly makes its way to the water's edge. A 
bald eagle soars above, talons ready, looking for breakfast. 
    
Welcome to Wyotana: part State of Wyoming, part State of Montana, part state 
of mind.

You won't find it on any maps, but Wyotana (or Montoming, as it might be 
dubbed every odd-numbered year when the Montana Legislature is in session) 
exists nonetheless. It's the home of the second home for celebrities like 
Harrison Ford, Tom Brokaw and David Letterman and hundreds of other 
out-of-staters willing to pay $5 million or more to embrace their inner ranch 
owner. It's the land of big sky and big prices. 

Thinking about moving in? Before whipping out your checkbook, get out the 
map. With Yellowstone National Park as its anchor, Wyotana stretches with 
eminent-domain-like authority over the forested and mountainous regions of 
northwest Wyoming and central and western Montana. From Sheridan County, 
Wyo., draw a line slanting down to the Utah-Idaho border. Follow the state 
line of Idaho upward until it is even with the Flathead Valley, and then go 
over to Kalispell, Mont. Shoot straight back down to Sheridan, making sure 
Billings, Mont., is included. Now you have the rough parameters of Wyotana, a 
103,300-square-mile enclave of sweeping vistas and storied beauty.
