Richland County is in eastern Montana along the Yellowstone River and includes the city of Sidney (county seat). The region has agriculture (irrigated farming) and oil/gas development. Because of its somewhat higher economic activity, there are more homes and town-living than ultra-remote counties. Housing includes single-family homes in Sidney and small towns, as well as ranch homes on land. Existing homes might range $200K-$350K for standard town-homes, while homes on acreage may go $300K-$500K+ depending on land, improvements and amenities. Building new homes (land + build) might cost $300K-$450K+, depending on site. The county is rural to semi-small town, offering better services than remote counties but still open land and low density. For buyers wanting rural Montana but somewhat more activity and access, Richland County is viable.
