Relocation Considerations
Moving can be exciting; but it can also be challenging, emotional, and stressful. We'd like to help.
Below is a list of things to consider when moving, and useful links that will provide answers to FAQs of the region.
LIFESTYLE
If you are considering a life/second home in Montana, chances are you enjoy the Great Outdoors.
Georgetown Lake is located on the picturesque Pintler Scenic Route. It is nestled on top of the Flint Creek pass with the Pintler Wilderness to the south, Flint Creek Mountain Range to the north, Flint Creek Valley to the west, and the Deer Lodge Valley and the town of Anaconda to the east. The backdrop to Georgetown Lake is made up of the peaks of the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness which makes this area an outdoor haven.

The tall mountain ranges can yield unpredictable weather patterns; however there is no shortage of winter sports available to keep residents entertained year-round.
