1000 Blind Springs Rd, American Falls, ID 83211

Six contiguous parcels Seasonal access off Blind Springs county road Enrolled in Access Yes! Program with Idaho Fish and Game 560 acres in CRP with approximately six years left Good genetics for mule deer and elk hunting Minimal perimeter fencing Hunting Unit 73A Borders Fort Hall Reservation to the east Adjacent to BLM to the south for a quarter mile stretch Power not available close by, solar power or portable generator recommended Off the grid build opportunity Formerly dry farmland and grazing ground, this property is subdivided into six contiguous parcels with seasonal county road access off Blind Springs Road and has multiuse potential. The terrain ranges from level ground to moderate slope with draws and a two-track providing access to much of the acreage. Five hundred sixty acres have been in CRP with approximately six years left on a ten-year renewal. These five hundred sixty acres of farm ground have a previous history of dry farming wheat and safflower and cattle grazing. The ground had been farmed approximately fifteen years ago and grass was replanted on a portion of the acreage approximately three years ago. The level to gradual sloping farm ground lends itself to off the grid residential or recreational build sites with expansive panoramic views of the rolling hills and Snake River in the distance. Solar power or a portable generator is recommended since power is not available close by and a well would need to be drilled for culinary purposes. Bring your home and garden plans and enjoy wildlife viewing from the comfort of your own porch. The expansive terrain offers endless opportunities to explore or develop. This property has good genetics for mature mule deer and elk and is currently enrolled in Access Yes! This is a voluntary landowner incentive program with Idaho Fish and Game where landowners specify conditions of access that best meet their needs. In addition, the program provides access to wildlife that may cause depredation problems, improves relationships between landowners and sportsmen, and improves hunter ethics. Fort Hall Indian Reservation borders the property to the east and private agricultural land borders the remainder of the property except for a quarter mile bordering BLM ground to the south. This limits the hunting pressure and creates habitat for mule deer and elk. American Falls Reservoir and historic hydroelectric dam is the largest reservoir on the Snake River and is about 26 miles away, offering boating, fishing and swimming and is a haven for birdwatchers. The Sportsman's Park, Seagull Bay Yacht Club, and Oregon Trail Sportsman access all provide great boat launching access and amenities on the reservoir.
