Description
Write the next chapter for this charming Victorian home, a labor of love to be passed on to its next caretakers and visionaries. Poised just outside Soda Springs and a short distance from Lava Hot Springs, this original 1894 structure has expanded and evolved. In 1989, the turret was built. In 1992, they remodeled and expanded the upstairs. In 2005, they built the north addition, which remains unfinished today. Hand-painted stencil work with a reverse tray ceiling and rain glass window cabinets in the kitchen, charming chandeliers and expansive windows with mountain views throughout, an embossed ceiling with crown molding, and a cozy gas fireplace in the living room and a clawfoot tub in the master bath are a few of the enhancements.
Conveniently located off State Highway 30, just outside Soda Springs, this Victorian home sits on just under ten acres. Two adjacent parcels totaling three hundred ten acres provide additional privacy and plenty of room to farm, develop, or recreate. Mature trees and lush lilac bushes provide backyard privacy to relax and enjoy the fresh air and wide-open valley and mountain views. Adjudication documents have been submitted for Davis Ville priority date water. Whether you seek a homestead, ranch, or sportsman’s retreat, this gem could make your vision a reality.
Hunting and fishing enthusiasts are drawn to this area for the abundant wildlife. The property is a sportsman’s retreat with a roughly forty-five-acre slough/pond attracting waterfowl and upland game, mule deer, moose, and mountain lions. Invite your friends and family and set up base camp in your backyard. There is driveway access and plenty of room for them to park their campers and tents. Or maybe you would like to invite a friend or two to stay in the heated bunkhouse. Elk migration is heavy in this area, especially from Tin Cup through Soda Springs near Government Dam Road.
The Cache and Caribou National Forest and BLM are nearby and offer hundreds of miles of dirt roads and trails to explore backpacking, mountain biking, cruising in ATVs, and big game hunting. Winter access requires a snow machine, opening the door to a magical winter wonderland adventure.
Lava Hot Springs is less than twenty miles away to relax in their world-famous natural hot springs and choose from various delicious restaurants. Float, fish, or swim along the nearby Bear River, Portneuf River, and Alexander, Chesterfield, and Blackfoot Reservoirs, and return to warm up by a campfire or the cozy gas fireplace and enjoy wildlife viewing in your backyard.
Soda Springs is a short drive away to enjoy hidden treasures such as the Applegarth Apothecary Gift Shop and the beautiful Historic Enders Hotel, Museum, and Restaurant. The famous captive geyser is just out back, and Natural Soda Springs is in the Octagon Pavilion, within walking distance of the hotel. Call Dave and Ann to schedule a tour of this unique property for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
