Located approximately four and a half miles northwest of Soda Springs, this historic ranch was first established in the early 1900s as a dry farm and has recently evolved into a productive agricultural and cattle grazing operation with established income streams, water resources and functional infrastructure. Today, the ranch operates under an efficient rotational grazing system capable of supporting approximately 200 pair of cattle on ground not in CRP. The perimeter is mostly fenced with extensive cross-fencing dividing productive pastures and allowing for sustainable grazing management. The fencing infrastructure has been upgraded and maintained in very good to excellent condition. Comprising five contiguous parcels with year-round access and frontage on both sides of Government Dam Road, the property spans a diverse landscape of cropland, open meadow with meandering creek and wildlife habitat. According to the USDA, 975.36 acres are designated cropland, with approximately 857 acres currently enrolled in the CRP program generating about $50,000 annually, with roughly seven years remaining on the contract. The CRP agreement allows grazing twice during the ten-year term providing additional flexibility for livestock operations. Water resources are a defining feature of the ranch. Year-round Soda Creek meanders through the property, supporting thriving populations of waterfowl and enhancing both agricultural use and recreational appeal and ultimately feeding into the canal company system for distribution. The ranch has submitted water rights claims of 3+ CFS on approximately 900 acres which are currently awaiting adjudication within the Bear River Drainage, which presents a potentially meaningful long-term water value. Infrastructure is comprised of a 2,400 square foot shop, 2,340 square foot original barn, large cattle corral with chute, a three-sided implement and tractor shed, and five aerated grain bins with a combined capacity of 75,000 bushels. A modest farmhouse originally built around 1945 and remodeled in 1990 offers approximately 842 square feet on the main level plus crawl space for storage. Additional value includes a cinder mine resource and two short-term leases ending December 31, 2026 involving buildings, infrastructure, and select grazing. For sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts, the ranch borders expansive public ground managed by the Bureau of Land Management, including the renowned 90 Percent Range, an area carefully managed for healthy mule deer populations. The ranch also hosts a 110-acre wetland habitat project developed through a conservation easement with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game through 2030. Sponsored in part by Ducks Unlimited, the project created an 1,100-foot dike and protected habitat for ducks and swans, complete with a viewing station and parking area.
