why? because you can easily move it. this house was apparently built to sail. bet the owner throws in the anchor in a beauty spot.

My wife Joanie and I cannot believe this .. this is the owner's house (i think) of the RV park we stayed in Gardner Montana 6 days ago where we Stayed right on the water. This is the river we went rafting on. We rafted right on this part. We used the Flying Pigs, the best group of people for rafting. You could see all the R v's that parked on top because of the storm but we stayed right down the hill right on this river. This is insane!! the owner had his house on the end of the RV park. This is no doubt his house and the RV park we stayed at.

[@morho9422]

i think was an opportunity missed. it was going to happen, so a few webcams could have been installed around the house. jeez, that 360 thingy in it live online, charging for access. might cover all losses.😃😃

So many people saying it was bad to build that close to the river. Do you clowns honestly think that the river flowed practically underneath them when the house was built in the first place? Rivers change shape continuously throughout history, that’s why using rivers as borders on maps have lead to so many territorial disputes throughout history.
