OVERVIEW:
Occasionally, and only occasionally, is such a land parcel as this 89.67 acres offered. 350 Acre C. Ben Ross Reservoir, a scenically picturesque and relatively recreation/irrigation facility open to fishing and boating, forms a portion of the property’s west boundary. Strategically located near the center of the parcel is an established approximate 8 acre, year round wildlife pond which waters reflect 360 degrees of varied landscape, ever-changing through the seasons, while contributing priceless wildlife habitat and diversity. The balance of the property is primarily rolling with some steep terrain and comprised of tillable dry-land farm ground and native pasture. Grassy meadows and scattered deciduous and evergreen trees outline the wildlife pond; a magnificent row of elm trees grows along the dam and towers over the pond’s island, home to myriad varieties of birds and waterfowl. Incomparable eligible home sites come all at once with commanding views of C. Ben Ross Reservoir, the wildlife pond, the sweep of the West Mountains to the east, Cuddy and Hitt Mountains to the west making this West Central Idaho property an Idaho Gem.
