Coming in early 2005! THE OUTREMER SOCIETIES MEDIEVAL MANOR
We have a 3.2 acre spread in the luxurious Lasy TH Estate community in the south 19th area of Bozeman.
This land is zoned for Horses (one of the only lots allowed) and we are planning to build a 70x30+
medieval timberframed Manor with a parking area for at least 50 cars (Plans are for 200). The home will appear 99% period
to the 11th-13th century in general with a 30x40 foot greathall with a 34 foot tall ceiling. This will
be a permanent event site. It will also have a medieval chapel built outside the manor and will be a corner
building on the attached walled courtyard. A permanent tourney feild is planned to the eastern part of the
land. Other period outbuildings are also planned to be built in the future. The house will begin
construction in early 2005 to compleated within 2005. Sitting on the cul-de-sac on Legend court (fitting name).
The Barn. We plan on having a Horse project on site but covenants and the size allows for only two horses.
This will take many years before we can begin equstrian events, but the barn will contain many amenities
such as bathrooms and showers for overnight guests and weekend campers. It will also hold the general
workrooms for armor and period item construction for our membership.
The Tavern the Manor will have a 30x30 full medieval tavern in addition to the great hall for hosted events, the tavern will be within the courtyard and be used mundanley to store vehicles as a garage. The Tavern will be about 80% period as it will have modern tapps for beer and the lighting will be from electrical carriage lights. To save space it will use the benches from the great hall when in use.
The Wine Cellar/Brewmasters workshop is going to be in the basement in a temperture controlled environment for member project brewing and common wine storage. Beer,ale,meade and hopefully wine will be made here.
The estimated cost to finish will be about half a million dollars.($140,000 for the Land, and about $350,000 for the main building. The Outremer Society is not funding this project but it is being built by our founders to better serve our members and suit the need of the Scheiners who are life long reenactors.
Since the Scheiners are building their home not just for themselves but the whole Society as well any donations of medieval furniture,banners,tapestry or any other item that would improve the event location would be concidered and appreciated.
Future projects: The Outremer Society also plans to buy more land to expand to a possible medieval village
or major event site, up to and including a war site.

Some images of the land, I could only take images
of it in parts as it's so large. (I took these in the winter)
Just look at the mountains, planted trees will block out the
other homes as modern homes would be a eyesore to our medieval
tastes.
