QuoteFOR two decades, as wealthy residents of both coasts have converged on Montana, buying chunks of its wide open spaces, Montanans have felt torn. For many, the increases in property values and job opportunities that have come with the new money have been outweighed by the mammoth estates beginning to dot the landscape and the manners of the newcomers who build them.

"Many times people just come in and throw up fences, and say, 'To hell with everybody else,' " said Bill Long, a managing director of Montana Land Reliance, a nonprofit land trust.

Steve Leffingwell, a 37-year-old rancher, steer roper and carpenter who lives in Clyde Park and whose family has ranched for more than 100 years, has spent four years building some of the trophy houses behind those fences. "I don't want to be a hypocrite and say how terrible they are, because I had to help build them," he said. "But I can't say I like them."
