House of the Week: A Montana Home Perched Atop a Rocky Ridge
In 2009, Dallas-based plastic surgeon Dr. John Tebbetts and his then-wife, Terrye Westhafer, bought nearly 200 acres in McAllister, Mont., a small community about 45 miles southwest of Bozeman. 'McAllister is basically a sign on the highway,' Westhafer says.
