Unlock the possibilities of this exceptional land offering—six contiguous parcels with prime development and homesteading potential in the heart of southeast Idaho.

Formerly dry farmed, the land still bears the practical advantages of a productive agricultural history. Access just north of Timberline Road was historically used for farming operations.
