Own a piece of Oregon Trail history, rich in heritage and abundant wildlife while you create your own homestead and experience the lure of pioneer days, ranching, farming and living off the land. This property is primed for a homesite with year-round paved road access, level ground and overhead power across the street. Well-maintained fencing on the perimeter with access gates on both roads, and a corral, make this a turn-key operation for livestock, incorporating both pasture and tillable ground. Self-sufficiency and conservation are key when living in a rural town. A well is located on the northwest corner of the property, equipped with a solar and electric pump providing water for livestock. The electricity had been supplied by a portable generator. Hunting and fishing enthusiasts are drawn to this area for the plentiful wildlife. Access to Idaho's Unit 72 is just 1 mile east and the big game hunting is excellent. Elk migration is heavy in this area. Blackfoot, Alexander and Chesterfield Reservoirs are close by, and the rainbow trout fishing is great.
