Description

Set deep in Idaho’s scenic high country and directly bordering both BLM land and the Tex Creek Wildlife Management Area, this expansive mountain property offers a rare opportunity to own a private hunting and off-grid recreational retreat with access to thousands of acres of public land. The acreage is perimeter fenced with a history of grazing cattle. It comprises six contiguous parcels plus one additional parcel, and accessed by a seasonal gravel county road which provides seclusion without sacrificing usability.

The terrain is diverse and well-suited for hunting and recreation, featuring flat to gently sloping valleys and benches, and moderate to steep mountain ground that naturally funnels game through the property. Multiple potential cabin or camp locations offer panoramic views of surrounding mountain ranges, valleys, and open rangeland. A seasonal or recreational cabin build would require a perc test for septic and alternative power such as solar, making it ideal for an off-grid setup.

The land is already well-equipped with infrastructure uncommon for remote acreage. Improvements include a well with a pump set at approximately 100 feet which is supported by spigots, a 100,000-watt Kubota generator with trenched power to the well house and an established RV hookup with 50-amp service and water that can serve two trailers. There is plenty of level ground to accommodate multiple trailers, to host hunting parties, family, or extended stays during season.

Hell Creek flows year-round through this land, and together with beaver ponds provides stock water and trout fishing opportunities right in your own backyard. The water, together with the new alfalfa, native sagebrush, bitterbrush, and timbered cover create prime wildlife habitat drawing moose, elk, mule deer and upland birds such as grouse and other native species.

This mountainous terrain offers an outdoor recreation paradise with endless exploration both on and off the property. A network of internal two-track roads provides access across much of the acreage, with hundreds of miles of dirt roads and trails in adjacent and nearby public land, to experience hiking, backpacking, camping, horseback riding, mountain biking, cruising in ATV’s, big game hunting and upland game hunting. Winter access requires a snow machine and opens the door for a magical winter wonderland adventure, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing.

With the combination of live water, infrastructure, proven wildlife presence, and direct public land access, this ground offers a unique high-country retreat. Whether you seek solitude, adventure, or a legacy piece to enjoy for generations, this could be the mountain oasis you've been waiting for.
