I'm looking at moving west into the mountains in the next couple years. I have ambitious goals for my budget, but goal is to find at least 20 acres either nestled in a valley or with those expansive views and accessible year round. I work IT and can work from home, but the better looking half is a COT so we need to stay close enough to populated areas. Coming from MN winter weather does not concern me at all.
As an example, while scouting areas I happened to stumble upon this listing and this property is amazing. I would like more trees, but those can always be planted, but the views are exactly what I'm looking for.

Anyone have suggestions to look into?
Grangerville/Riggins/Pollock Idaho
Salmon/Stanley/Arco Idaho
Butte/Helena/Missoula Montana
I'm not against Utah or Colorado, but Utah starts getting into that open plains and Colorado is becoming the next California, so it will take the right place for the right price.
