Description
Unlock the possibilities of this exceptional land offering—six contiguous parcels with prime development and homesteading potential in the heart of southeast Idaho. Located less than seven miles from Idaho State University and approximately eight and a half miles from downtown Pocatello, this south-facing property offers both seclusion and accessibility, making it ideal for a range of uses from rural estates to residential development. Enjoy the amenities of living in a college town. Known as the “Gateway to the Northwest,” Pocatello and its sister city of Chubbuck offer world-class outdoor recreation, a rich culture in visual arts, performing arts, and entertainment, and a wide variety of restaurants and shops to choose from.
Strategically positioned with a half mile of paved, year-round county road frontage on Buckskin Road, the property offers direct access and strong visibility. Overhead power runs along the frontage, simplifying the path to buildout. The land is bordered by established developments including Buckskin Saddle, Whispering Pines, and Mountain Vista Subdivisions, underscoring the area’s growth trajectory and making this a natural fit for future expansion or a thoughtfully planned community.
With a gentle slope and primarily south-facing orientation, the land is well-suited for solar exposure, gardening, energy-efficient builds, and sweeping mountain and countryside views. Evergreens and deciduous trees border the property to the north, east, and west, adding privacy, seasonal color, and an ideal foundation for homesites nestled in nature.
Formerly dry farmed, the land still bears the practical advantages of a productive agricultural history. Access just north of Timberline Road was historically used for farming operations. This is ground rich in both character and opportunity—ready for reimagining as a private retreat, equestrian estate, or phased rural residential development.
Surrounded by natural beauty and backed by the demand for quality rural living near Pocatello and ISU, this property delivers an increasingly rare chance to acquire substantial acreage with utilities, access, and location on your side. Whether you’re a developer, investor, or visionary homesteader, this land offers the perfect balance of convenience, privacy, and potential.
