Description
Tucked in the scenic Bannock Mountain Range just outside of Pocatello, this gem offers the perfect oasis escape with panoramic countryside views and proximity to the amenities of the city. Located on the corner of Moon Light Mine and Whispering Pine Roads with year-round paved road access and overhead power, this mountain property comprises Whispering Pines Subdivision Lots five and six, and they are ready for your residential or cabin builds. Combine the two lots for one home site or two separate home sites with a shared access driveway. The terrain is wooded and mountainous with a steep slope, granting expansive views and privacy. Towering evergreens and plentiful deciduous trees blanket much of the property and adjacent land, providing vibrant fall foliage. Relax to the gentle sounds of the rustling leaves in the canyon breeze and the babbling brook as it gingerly flows through the trees below. The year-round brook is fed by a pond across the road, creating habitat for wildlife such as mule deer and turkeys to thrive. Stargazing is particularly striking since the night sky has limited light pollution. There isn’t the buzz of through traffic since both roads are dead-end. It is primarily locals driving to and from home.
For the outdoor enthusiast, this area offers over 1,000 miles of recreational, maintained trails for hikers, bikers, horse and ATV riders, snowshoers, snowmobilers, and cross-country skiers. Numerous trailheads around town provide access to the vast, rolling foothills of the Rockies and backcountry this area is famous for. Other activities include bouldering, rock climbing, disc golf, golfing, floating the Portneuf River, boating, and fishing on the Snake River and American Falls Reservoir, and soaking in the Lava Hot Springs Mineral Pools.
Builds will require an access driveway to be cut, power pulled from the road, perc tests performed for future septic systems, and wells to be drilled for culinary water.
