Hollywood celebrities are flocking to a picturesque Montana town where home prices have doubled in six years.

Montana has become a popular destination for celebrities looking to escape the hustle and bustle of New York and Los Angeles.

Some A-list actors, like Glenn Close and Michael Keaton, have lived in this idyllic state for decades, while others, like Paris Hilton, are relatively new to the region.

But the influx of wealthy newcomers has also led to higher home prices, leaving some locals less than pleased with the state's growth.

Justin Timberlake and his wife, Jessica Biel, are often seen around Bozeman, about an hour away from the gated community of Big Sky where the Hollywood couple lives with their two children.

“They are really friendly and polite and you often see them going out with their kids or having coffee around town,” said one resident.

“They can live a pretty normal life here and the locals don't bother them. It's only star-struck tourists who cause trouble.”

One celebrity who has been making headlines recently is Jason Momoa, who held a meet-and-greet in Belgrade to promote his new vodka.

The line to meet the Aquaman hunk snaked around the block, and many locals shared their stories of taking selfies with the star in the days afterward.

In addition to the low-key lifestyle that Montana can offer celebrities, some stars are also attracted to the luxury of the famous Yellowstone Club.

Located about an hour's drive from Bozeman, Yellowstone Club is spread across 15,200 acres in Big Sky and is known for its exclusivity, privacy and luxurious amenities.

Members include Bill Gates, former US President Dan Quayle, Tom Brady, Paris Hilton and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt.

As of 2018, the membership cost $40,000 per year plus an introductory fee of $400,000, but prices are thought to have increased since then.

Members are also required to purchase homes within the club, which range in value from roughly $4 million to more than $25 million.

To maintain exclusivity, membership is limited to 864 members, with more members from the business and technology worlds than from Hollywood.

“It's more business leaders than celebrities,” one member told the San Francisco Standard. “It's just too expensive.”

For stars who don't want to shell out millions of dollars to live at the Yellowstone Club, Montana still has plenty of beautiful places for A-listers to settle.

Michael Keaton has owned 1,000 acres in the small town of Big Timber since the early 1990s.

Bill Pullman also has his own ranch in Boulder Valley, and John Mayer has his own property in Paradise Valley (which inspired his 2013 album of the same name).

Glenn Close has been coming in and out of Bozeman since the early '80s and now resides full-time with her family in a ranch house, where her daughter, Annie Stark, films the Magnolia Network series “The Mountain Kitchen.”

At one time, Glenn and his sister Jessie co-owned a local coffee shop in downtown Bozeman.

Kelly Clarkson also purchased a $10.4 million ranch with her then-husband Brandon Blackstock in 2018.

The American Idol winner dreams of living on the ranch full time, but her New York filming schedule for The Kelly Clarkson Show only allows her to visit the ranch about once a month.

When asked what makes this state, nicknamed “America's Last Great Place,” so special, Elizabeth Delwo, a real estate agent with The Agency Bozeman, said its proximity to nature is a big factor.

“Montana offers some of the best outdoor recreation in the United States,” Elizabeth told DailyMail.com.

“When you live in Bozeman, you have so much right outside your door, so you get a much better work-life balance and an overall higher quality of life. That's why everyone wants to live here.”

The influx of celebrities and coastal migrants has put a strain on the state, especially Bozeman, where migrants from bigger cities have fled to the freedom-loving, Republican state during the pandemic.

Many migrants from California and New York have more money to spend on real estate than locals, which has led to higher home prices and squeezed many longtime residents out of the housing market.

Home prices in Bozeman have nearly doubled in the past six years, with the median price for a single-family home now sitting at about $737,000 after peaking at a staggering $795,000 last year.

The trendy town is now sarcastically referred to by some locals as “Boz Angeles,” sparking frequent debate about whether the once-sleep neighborhood has woken up.

But while it's easy to blame recent immigrants for the high cost of living and traffic congestion, the problems actually go back decades.

A 1992 Chicago Tribune article about celebrities like Mary Hart, Ted Turner, and Brooke Shields relocating to Montana detailed the concerns of the local community.

“It's not so much resentment that people here feel, it's fear of losing their town. Will this be a place we want to live?” one resident told the paper at the time.

“Celebrities have really blended in around here,” he continued, “and I think there's a growing concern about Californians in general. They're coming here and inflating home prices. Real estate prices have gone up 2 percent every month since 1990.”

Though some locals remain aloof toward outsiders, many Montana business owners are benefiting from the increase in immigrants and tourists.

Brett Ashley McMillan, owner of Juniper Face + Figure, a medi-spa in Bozeman, said it's just one of many local businesses being positively impacted by newcomers in town.

“Small businesses like mine serve Montanans across the state, but we also benefit from seasonal tourists and newcomers looking to make Bozeman or Big Sky their new home base,” she said.

“At Juniper Face + Figure, I've served everyone from local Montanans to relocates, tourists, athletes, influencers, and even cast members of the Yellowstone TV series.”

She continued, “I would say my business has flourished as the population has grown, especially since some of my treatments, such as cosmetic injections and vaginal rejuvenation, can be new concepts here in the Wild West.”

“But it's great for me because the transplant patients who come here often come from places like New York and California, where facial and body treatments are more common and accepted.”
