Description
Discover the possibilities with five contiguous parcels, ranging in size from five to five and a half acres, in the Great Columbia Subdivision located halfway between Lava Hot Springs and Soda Springs, within walking distance from BLM sportsman's access. Offering year-round county-maintained road access and multiple parcels with residential build rights and power stubbed, this property is well-positioned for a private mountain retreat, future homesites, or a long-term investment. With existing infrastructure already in place, it is primed for the mountain cabin you've always dreamed of.
The property boasts almost one-third of a mile of frontage on Swenson Valley Road with wood post and quarter-inch cable fenced frontage and a gated driveway for privacy. In addition to year-round access, this mountain property also has the convenience of mail delivery, garbage service, and potential school bus service.
The infrastructure provides a turnkey opportunity to enjoy the property while you plan your dream cabin build. Power has been pulled to the modest one-room dry cabin and the pump house. The cabin sits on railroad ties with French drains and is equipped with 200-amp electrical service, a wood-burning stove, and baseboard heaters, plus an attached RV cover. The pump house has a small deck to enjoy wildlife viewing and is equipped with 100-amp service, a small refrigerator, a shower, a sink, a pressure tank, and a composting toilet. An underground artesian well, approximately 140 feet deep, plus a 900-gallon septic tank, services the lot. A limestone gravel driveway provides access and parking for your guests to visit.
The jewel of the property is the Cleary shop. Built in 2019, the 50' x 42' Cleary shop is reinforced with trusses approximately every ten feet and features two chain-driven 10’ x 12’ overhead doors and one 12’ x 12’ overhead door on one side and one of each on the other side, providing drive-through access for RVs, boats, trailers, ATVs, and equipment. A power cord to an outlet outside the shop provides electricity, since power has not been pulled to the shop.
Located in Idaho Fish & Game Hunting Unit 72 near BLM, and the Cache and Caribou National Forests, the area is known for abundant wildlife, including elk, moose, mule deer, and mountain lions and hundreds of miles of dirt roads and trails to explore horseback riding, hiking, backpacking, camping, mountain biking, cruising in ATVs, wildlife viewing, and big game and upland game hunting. Winter access to the public land requires a snow machine and opens the door to a magical winter wonderland adventure, snowmobiling, fat tire biking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing.
The nearby Blackfoot Reservoir and Alexander Reservoir offer excellent fishing for trout, kokanee, perch, and more, along with boating and other water recreation. Float, fish, or swim along the Bear River and Portneuf River, or enjoy a relaxing soak in the Lava Hot Springs mineral pools and return to warm up by a fire and enjoy wildlife viewing from the privacy of your own backyard.
Whether your passion is hunting, fishing, hiking, ATV riding, snowmobiling, or simply enjoying the peace and beauty of Idaho's mountains, this property provides the space, infrastructure, and flexibility to make it your own.
