WHAT OUR clients ARE SAYING ABOUT US
When selling three separate lots, our agent went through a pregnancy and broken back while still getting three full offers.
Clearwater was not only knowledgeable but easy to deal with, easy to solve problems with. Our agent was knowledgeable about all of our properties as far as showings and knows how to complete a sale from beginning to end. They are invaluable!
Clearwater was great to work with. They went out of the way to support us in finding both property and a home in the Lewistown area when we were trying to do this from out of state. They personally took time to contact property owners and send us video and share their opinions allowing us the maximum use of our time on trips into town. They represented us during all the steps of closing remotely, making things easy and smooth. We’d highly recommend them.
She was wonderful - knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy, and very responsive to all our needs. She worked very hard to make sure we got exactly what we were looking for. We would highly recommend her!
Our Clearwater agent is an outstanding agent; helpful, kind, knowledgeable, and she LISTENS to what you want. Clearwater Properties is an honest and reputable agency that does exactly what you need them to do. She made the buying process as seamless as possible and went out of her way to help with every step.
I would absolutely recommend Clearwater’s agents as either a buyer or seller agent. They are friendly and professional, knowledgeable, and communication is top notch. My house was only on the market less than 2 weeks, and they found a great family to buy. 5+ stars
Our Clearwater agent did awesome! She is personable, knowledgeable and accessible...All I needed to get job done!!!!!
~ David W.
Clearwater Properties was very easy to work with & our agent was very thorough & very helpful. When we got ready to move, we also used the complimentary moving trailer which was a real help for our move.

REAL ESTATE MILESTONES
by Jessica McCollam & Janet Spoon
30 YEARS IN THE NORTHWEST:
For 30 years, Clearwater Properties has been a pillar in the evolving real estate markets of Montana, Northern Idaho, Newport, Washington, and Cody, Wyoming. As we celebrate this milestone, we take a journey back in time, highlighting the significant transformations these regions have experienced from the early 1990s to the present day.
THE MODEST BEGINNINGS: 1990’S TO EARLY 2000’S
Our story begins in the early 1990s, a period marked by relative stability and moderate growth in housing prices across these four picturesque regions. The rural nature, abundant wildlife, and outdoor recreational opportunities in Montana and Northern Idaho, the charm of Newport, Washington, and the rich history of Cody, Wyoming, beckoned newcomers, laying the foundation for future growth.
RIDING THE WAVE AND WEATHERING THE STORM: THE 2000’S
Fast-forward to the early 2000s, a prosperous period for the real estate industry across the United States. Our regions were no exception. Housing prices soared, driven by low-interest rates and rising demand. However, the housing market crash of 2008 brought this growth to a halt, home prices and sales plummeted. But thanks to the resilience of these regions, characterized by diverse economies and a steady influx of residents, recovery was gradual but steady in the following years.
A NEW ERA OF GROWTH AND TRANSFORMATION: 2010’S TO 2023
The late 2010s marked a turning point for our regions. The growing trend to work remotely from home or anywhere internet was available combined and lifestyle preferences contributed to this rebound in the housing market. The lockdowns of the COVID-19 pandemic further amplified this trend as many institutions discovered that traditional working from an office was not always necessary. People sought less populated areas that offered more freedom of movement and a better quality of life.
Flathead County was named the fasted growing county in Montana from July 2021 to July 2022. Many cities in Montana, Coeur d’Alene, and Rathdrum in Northern Idaho, Newport, Washington, and Cody, Wyoming, all experienced significant growth in housing prices.
This period also witnessed an influx of new residents from states with higher living costs, heavy property and gas taxes, and higher crime rates. The influx led to infrastructure improvements and increased investment in local businesses, contributing to the rapid growth and development of these real estate markets.
Notably, the popularity of the TV series “Yellowstone” and its spin-offs, “1883” and “1923,” played a role in raising awareness of Montana’s scenic beauty, boosting tourism, attracting new residents, and indirectly impacting the real estate market.
CONTINUING ON IN THE TRADITION OF CLEARWATER:
As we look back on the past 30 years, we see a story of resilience and growth. These regions have navigated periods of stability, faced economic storms, and emerged stronger and more vibrant. With remote work becoming more common and outdoor living remaining a priority, we are excited about the future of these real estate markets. As we enter a new era of growth and transformation, we at Clearwater Properties are ready to continue being part of this exciting journey.
Many changes have occurred in real estate over the past 30 years. Yet one thing has remained strong––Clearwater’s belief that our clients deserve to be treated with respect and integrity still plays a huge part in our business model. From our humble beginning in 1993, we still have all but one original team member working here. It speaks volumes of the culture and atmosphere we have instilled. Our commitment to be true to our word and our commitments to our clients and each team member, professionally and personally, has never wavered. It’s the “Clearwater Way.”

Clearwater’s
Charitable Giving Program provides for a portion of every transaction to be designated to the service group or charitable organization of the advisor’s choosing. Below are just a few of our successful charitable giving stories.
Our mission is to provide local youth with the opportunity to engage in soccer in order to improve their physical, mental, emotional, and social development. The Clearwater Properties Charitable Giving Program and other organizations have been instrumental in making this goal a reality.
Clearwater Properties was essential to the Club’s park development project, with cash donations, labor and the cost of necessary items like grass seed, topsoil, sand, and fertilizer.
With volunteer help from local contractors,
the LSC was able to save considerably on labor costs. Monetary donations have provided the necessary materials for an underground irrigation system.
The generosity of Clearwater Properties has significantly impacted the success of the Lewistown Soccer Club’s park development project and has enabled the LSC to continue its mission of promoting youth development through soccer. The club expresses its gratitude for the support and looks forward to continuing to progress on the park’s development.

I thank you for your support and look forward to giving you further updates on our progress.

EH is an organization committed to assisting seniors to remain independent and safe in their homes by keeping them supplied with firewood. Clearwater Properties’ Charitable Giving Program has played a vital role in helping them achieve their mission.
Elder Help (EH) delivered firewood to seniors who rely on wood for heat during the 2022–23 winter season. This critical supply was delivered to qualifying seniors at no cost, thanks to donations from businesses and associations like Clearwater Properties. A total of 50 cords of wood helped sustain our
local senior citizens.
Donations also allow EH to purchase and maintain wood delivery vehicles and all things vehicle related. Additionally, the financial support helps EH to cover the expenses addressing safety issues in their homes, provides health and wellbeing assistance to the seniors, thus ensuring that they can continue to live independently and safely.
Clearwater Properties’ Charitable Giving Program has been a tremendous support to Elder Help and to our elderly community.
Our organization is devoted to assisting veterans in need while promoting American Constitutional awareness and history and displaying the nation’s flag. They also provide firewood for heat and gas gift cards to veterans for essential medical appointments.
Through their Patriotic Pen Program, the VFW offers scholarships to students. Each year, approximately 112,000 students from grades 6-8 throughout the USA enter to win one of several savings bonds totaling $1.2 million and an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C.
Recently, the VFW improved the flag poles in downtown Noxon by replacing lanyards and installing LED lights. These flagpoles provide a powerful symbol of patriotism for the community.

Idaho
Idaho’s brilliant scenery includes 18 ski resorts with epic backcountry terrain, making this gorgeous sector your new favorite powder playground. Residents enjoy the many features here, particularly the 3,100 miles of winding rivers, more than any other state. Shoshone Falls, aptly nicknamed the Niagara of the West, boasts a drop that is 45 feet farther than the real Niagara Falls. Idaho’s combined wilderness spans over 4.7 million acres, and at 7,900 feet, Hells Canyon is the deepest gorge in the United States, even deeper than the Grand Canyon. With so many scenic treasures, Idaho can easily be considered the hidden gem of the west.

PINE RIDGE, TWIN RIVER RANCH
Devil Birds of Hells Canyon
In pursuit of the challenging chukar partridge on a cast-and-blast river trip.
By Diana Rupp
The call echoed across the dry, rocky slope high above camp right after sunup. Chuk-chuk-chuk-chuk. Chukchuk-chuk-chuka-chuka.
Daren Cole, one of my hunting partners, heard it too. “It sounds like the chukar are laughing at us,” he said.
I was pretty sure he was right as I shrugged into my orange vest, located my shotgun, and studied the steep mountainside looming behind my tent. The vocal gamebirds had been testing our legs, lungs, and willpower for three days, and it looked like they had another graduate-level exam ready for us this morning.
Four of us headed up the mountain, following Ceder, the German wirehaired pointer, who bounded up the grassy slope and began casting back and forth between the rock outcrops and clumps of brush above us. We could still hear chukar calling from the ridgetop. Ceder worked his way higher and higher, and we followed, clambering over red boulders and ducking around thickets of brush. The dog disappeared over the top, and I increased my pace to double time. Hustling over the crest of the ridge, I spotted Ceder. His head was buried in a patch of brush on the edge of the precipice, his motionless rear end and straight tail clearly indicating he was on point.
As my hunting partner Nate Ratchford jumped up on a boulder to the dog’s right, I ran to cover the left. Two chukar flushed to the right with a heart-stopping rush, with just time for Nate to get off one quick shot before both birds put on their afterburners and screamed out of sight beneath a rock ledge. Ceder trotted after them, but by his unconcerned manner, I knew Nate had not connected. We were both panting from the hard sprint over the ridge and grinning from ear to ear.
We were still recovering from the effects of the exertion and the adrenaline rush when Daren and another member of our hunting party, Ashley Thess, caught up with us. We tried to continue our way across the mountain slope into the wind, following Ceder, but the sheer face became steeper and steeper and we soon found ourselves cliffed out. Turning back, we returned to the ridgetop, where we stopped to admire the view of our riverside camp, a collection of white tents and bright blue rafts so far below us they looked like miniatures. I could just see the ant-like figures of our river guides as they worked to strike the tents and pack up the rafts in preparation for the day’s float.
It was the last morning of a four-day cast-and-blast float trip through the magnificent Hells Canyon. Cutting
a jagged slice along the border of Oregon and Idaho, Hells Canyon is the deepest river gorge in North America—even deeper than the far more famous Grand Canyon. Far below where we stood with our shotguns, and well over a mile below the very top of the canyon rim, wound the mighty Snake River, our highway through chukar country. The canyon itself, part of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, contains some 214,000 acres of wilderness, almost all of it inaccessible by road.
The difficulty in access, combined with excellent habitat, makes Hells Canyon a top destination for hunting the challenging and elusive chukar partridge. The Snake River is also a world-class fishery. Smallmouth bass and rainbow trout can be caught all year, with hundred-fish days a distinct possibility, and the river also hosts runs of steelhead and Chinook salmon in the spring and fall.
All of this makes it a perfect destination for a cast-andblast river trip. Our float, outfitted by America’s Rafting Company based in Cambridge, Idaho, took us about thirty-four miles from the launch point just below Hells Canyon Dam to our take-out point at Pittsburg Landing, Idaho. Along the way, we ran some Class IV rapids, camped along the river every night, and fished for the river’s many spe-
cies—all the while being treated to magnificent scenery and sightings of black bears, bighorn sheep, and bald eagles. Best of all, though, the guides would periodically beach the rafts at likely-looking spots, setting us free to hike up the steep walls of the canyon, shotguns in hand and dogs casting eagerly ahead, in search of chukar.
Chukar partridge were introduced to the American West from their native range in southern and central Asia, and the high desert slopes of Idaho, Nevada, and eastern Oregon suit these birds to a T. The chukar is an attractive bird, with dark stripes on its side and a banded head and neck with a red bill, but its most striking feature is its ability to run, covering incredibly steep terrain with agility, staying ahead of even the most athletic pointing dogs and earning it the nickname “devil bird” from the often-frustrated hunters who try to chase it.
Because chukar live in such parched terrain, water is key to hunting them. Although it had been an inordinately dry summer in most of the West, we had been unlucky enough to start our float just after a significant rainfall had drenched the Hells Canyon region. The coveys, which would normally be concentrated along the river’s edge this time of year, had no need to fly down to the water, since the

numerous rocks and ridgelines high up on the canyon walls still held pools of moisture. And since the birds weren’t coming down . . . well, that meant the hunters would have to go up.
Nate, Daren, Ashley, and I were all first-time chukar hunters, but we had a secret weapon along: chukar-hunting guru Matt Hardinge, who joined us on the trip with his two talented and tire-
less German wirehaired pointers, Ceder and Summit. On one of our first hunts with Matt, we watched in awe as he and the dogs effortlessly scaled an almost-vertical, brush-choked slope and topped the ridge in minutes. Stumbling and panting in his wake, I was nowhere near close enough when a covey of chukar flushed, seeming to fly in all directions. After a missed shot, Matt and the dogs pursued a couple of the singles,
but the birds had quickly learned their lesson and stuck to running, outdistancing even their ultra-athletic pursuers. I was not surprised to learn later that Matt’s other hobbies include rock climbing and mountaineering, which would seem to mesh perfectly with chukar hunting.
Despite the overcast, chilly October weather, every day of our float trip was a magnificent blend of relaxation and adventure. Each morning started with a hot, hearty breakfast, followed by some hunting time while the guides broke down camp. Then we’d drift downriver for a couple of hours, our guides expertly steering the rafts through long, slow pools and occasional splashy rapids that bounced the rafts, elicited lots of shouts and laughter, and soaked any parts of our anatomy not covered in rain gear. All the while we were casting spinners for rainbow trout and tube jigs for feisty and abundant smallmouth bass; one memorable morning I landed ten big rainbows.

Each day’s float took the hunters through tranquil sections of the Snake River as well as a few Class IV rapids. The scenery was beautiful the entire way.
Chukar hunting in Hells Canyon requires tough hiking on steep slopes, but the birds are there, and the views are well worth the effort.
These sixteen-foot rafts transported the hunters, their guides, and gear about thirty-four miles down the Snake River.
The riverside camps were well-appointed, with roomy tents and excellent meals.
After a shore lunch we’d usually try again for chukar, scrambling up the canyon walls on either the Idaho or Oregon side. Once we stopped to marvel at pictographs painted on the rocks—artwork estimated to be 2,000 years old—and several times we passed the remnants of frontier homesteads, the fruit trees they had planted the only thing remaining of their longago dreams.
Afternoons would bring more floating and more fishing, with a well-appointed shoreside camp and a hearty dinner awaiting us at dusk. Once we trolled crankbaits through an eddy to entice steelhead and salmon, and long after dark one evening, we all piled on the rafts and aimed our headlamps into the water as a prehistoric-looking six-foot-long sturgeon
was caught and gently released into the dark depths of the Snake.
On the third afternoon, high above the river with shotguns in hand, Nate, Daren, Ashley, and I were keeping pace with Matt, Ceder, and Summit across a rocky sidehill, which meant the slope must have been less steep or else we were all finally finding our chukar legs. It was ideal habitat for the birds, and as we passed towering red rock outcroppings, Matt pointed out their icecream-cone-shaped droppings and a couple of abandoned nests.
After some time watching the pointers work the slope ahead, Matt made the call to turn around. As we headed back through a jumble of boulders, Nate, who was slightly ahead, spotted a chukar that leaped
All five of us on the Hells Canyon adventure were carrying 12-gauge Benelli 828U shotguns. Of course, I spent a lot more time hiking with my shotgun than I did actually firing it, an experience that, I’m told, is not unusual in chukar hunting. But I like the 828U so much I previously bought one in 20-gauge and have used it extensively over the past year for shooting clays as well as hunting doves and pheasants. It’s soft-shooting, fits me well, and carries and points like a dream.
A lightweight, well-balanced, and ultra-reliable shotgun is an absolute must when you’re hunting mountain birds in a wilderness setting, and the 828U fulfills those requirements to perfection. It features a patented steel locking system, which eliminates wear and tear on the receiver and hinge that can cause traditional over/unders to fail. By incorporating this system into an aluminum receiver, Benelli’s engineers created a shotgun that is stronger and safer, while still balancing beautifully and weighing just 6.5 pounds.
Fit is crucial in any shotgun, and the 828U includes shims so you can adjust stock drop and cast to your specifications. This shotgun also features Benelli’s Progressive Comfort System inside its walnut stock. The flexible and lightweight polymer buffers compress to absorb recoil energy, making this over/under comfortable to shoot repeatedly, whether you’re gunning for a limit of birds or practicing with a round of sporting clays.— D.R.
to the top of a rock ahead of him. As it flushed, another bird erupted from somewhere and flew over our heads. All the shots at both birds were misses, and although we worked back and forth through the area with the dogs for another twenty minutes, we could not put the birds up again.
“Surprising to find only a couple of birds together,” Matt remarked, speculating that another group of hunters might have worked the slope the day before and scattered the covey.
Fortunately for our palates, he had dropped three chukar the day before, and we enjoyed “chukar bites” that evening: delicious nuggets of chukar meat lightly breaded and fried. They were served alongside a filet of fresh-caught Chinook salmon: a true Hells Canyon surf-and-turf.
Before we shoved off on the last day, our guides rowed us across the river from Oregon to Idaho to give the elusive birds one last try. Ashley and I worked across the slope parallel to the river, flushing a covey of chukar far out ahead of us, where they landed and, naturally, ran uphill. Matt and Nate pursued them to the top of the ridgeline. When a group of birds flushed, Matt got a shot and dropped one, Ceder finding it easily in the rocks and returning it to him with aplomb. That made a total of four birds in the bag over our fourday hunt—all of them Matt’s, and deservedly so.
As we made the final float down to our take-out point, the canyon widened, opening up new, magnificent vistas around every sweeping bend of the river. I had traded my shotgun for a spinning rod, but between casts I studied the mountainsides, reflecting on my newfound respect for the fascinating “devil bird,” and especially for the mountain-savvy hunters and dogs who pursue them. It was a rare privilege to experience a true fair-chase hunt for wild chukar in one of the most spectacular river gorges in the world.

Ambergris Caye, Belize is famous for fly fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, and a variety of water sports, but the attractions of this Caribbean jewel don’t stop at the water’s edge – there are plenty of activities and venues to excite even the most jaded sun seeker. Some 25 miles long by one mile wide, Ambergris Caye is the largest of the nearly 200 islands arranged along Belize’s tropical coastline and spectacular reef system, the second largest in the world. Proximity to the reef, which lies less than a half mile offshore, makes it easy to explore this pristine paradise by snorkel, scuba or hire and charter boats. San Pedro Town has grown over the years, but still retains its seaside charm and slow tropical ambience. The popular Creole dish of rice and beans with fish or stewed chicken remains popular, but visitors now also have European, Cajun, Indian, Chinese, and Jamaican and even Thai dishes to choose from. Seafood is fresh and abundant, with daily catches of fresh snapper, grouper, conch and lobster making their way to the tables. The island’s restaurants, bars, clubs and hotels are varied and all within sandy walking distance, and while cars are not permitted on this Caribbean paradise, golf carts, the main form of island transportation, are available for rent. Clearwater Belize is a great opportunity to own a condo in paradise for your recreation, retirement, and rental income when you are not here.

Costa Rica
Towering mountains, jungles, rivers and lakes are spread out between the turquoise water of the Caribbean Sea and the wild Pacific Ocean. There are 30 National Parks on 19,700 square miles of this lush, tropical paradise. For the wildlife enthusiast: Sea turtles, squirrel monkeys, crocodiles and exotic birds all live harmoniously surrounded by coral reefs, whales, sharks, large schools of fish, dolphins, and the occasional orca. And did we mention the 800 miles of pristine, black, pink and white sand beaches, laid-back locals and perfect weather? Whether you are looking for a second home to escape from it all or an investment opportunity, Costa Rica is the ultimate destination of luxurious living and relaxation.

We are in the land title insurance business. We work to ensure people buy their homes with peace of mind, reduce their risks, and help protect their property rights.
Since 1905, Flying S Title & Escrow, formerly First American Title Company, has been a family-owned company that began in Blackfoot, Idaho, and spread across Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.
“Why Flying S?” Flying S stems from a cattle brand that the company founder’s son, Dwain H. Stufflebeam, and his wife Joyce, created years ago and have since used in their ranching operations in Southeast Idaho. The “S” signifies the family name, Stufflebeam, and the “wings” on each side represent Dwain’s love for flying.
This new brand reflects ranchers’ and farmers’ “whatever it takes” attitude. It is this same attitude that the company wants to reflect in its culture.
Learn more about Flying S Title & Escrow by visiting FSTE.COM.
