Tucked away on 155 private acres just 9 miles up Big Salmon River Road outside Riggins, Idaho, this geothermal hot springs retreat feels like its own hidden world. Cross the single-lane suspension bridge and you’re welcomed by sweeping grounds, rich with the history and character that have defined this estate for generations. At the heart of the property is a furnished three-story, 5,700 sq. ft. lodge, complemented by a separate complex featuring three 1-bed/1-bath condos. A pool house with a recreation room and additional sleeping space, plus an office with its own living quarters, round out the accommodations. The amenities are just as impressive: over a mile of Salmon River frontage, Starlink broadband internet, a spring-fed pond, a generous garden area, a greenhouse, and multiple water rights. Wildlife is abundant—elk, deer, and even the occasional bear wander through this untouched landscape. Long known for the mineral-rich, healing qualities of its geothermal waters, the property sits along the legendary Salmon River—the famed River of No Return—and enjoys easy year-round access with minimal snowfall. Price improvement reflects updates that are needed; property is being sold “as is.”
