Most land listings around Donnelly will point you toward Tamarack Resort and stop there. Fair enough. It’s a good story. But here’s what those listings don’t offer: a price that’s below full market value and an owner willing to carry financing, so you don’t have to work through a bank for a vacant land loan.

This is a flat, ±0.89-acre lot in Donnelly Estates II, located on the edge of a mountain community in the Pacific Northwest. Nearly a full acre. Road access. Not in a flood zone. Not in a wetland. The entire parcel has an estimated slope of less than 1%, which reduces the need for extensive cut-and-fill work prior to construction. Much of the initial site work is already complete. This is a straightforward lot at an honest price with terms that actually work.

Donnelly sits at 4,800 feet in Idaho’s Long Valley, along Highway 55 between Boise and McCall, and is often referred to as the “Crossroads to Recreation.” Drive two miles west, and you’ll reach Tamarack Resort, which Travel + Leisure named one of the top resorts in the world for 2025. It offers skiing, golf, and lake access, along with 50 runs, three high-speed chairlifts, an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones II golf course, a marina on Lake Cascade, and a village with dining, a spa, and shops. The ownership group has invested approximately $245 million since 2018, and skier visits have increased in recent years.

Beyond Tamarack, the surrounding area offers a wide range of recreational opportunities. Lake Cascade, Idaho’s fourth-largest lake, is located minutes away and supports boating, wakeboarding, kayaking, and fishing for species such as rainbow trout, coho salmon, and smallmouth bass. The Payette River runs south of town and is used for whitewater rafting, with sections ranging from Class III to IV. Gold Fork Hot Springs is a short drive away, and Brundage Mountain, located approximately 22 miles north, is known for winter recreation. The region includes numerous lakes and streams within a short distance.

If you’re coming from Boise, the property is approximately 90 miles away, or about a two-hour drive. It is accessible for weekend use while still offering separation from urban areas.

If you’ve been monitoring the Idaho mountain land market and are looking for a property with straightforward pricing and flexible terms, this is one to consider.

Buyers are encouraged to verify zoning, utility availability, and development requirements with Valley County, City of Donnelly, and applicable service providers.
