OLD HORNET CREEK VALLEY

This ranch property is four miles from Council, Idaho a ranching community located in scenic Adams County. Known for it’s small-town atmosphere and abundant outdoor recreation. The beautiful mountains, creeks, and rivers, offer endless opportunities for exploration and adventures like riding, hiking, fishing and hunting. Thousands of acres of Forest Service, State, and BLM land are nearby, providing exceptional access to public lands.

DIVERSE ACRES

The 321± acre property features a combination of irrigated and sub-irrigated pasture along with a lush marsh area. The irrigated acreage is currently in pasture and is situated between the two roads, while the mountainous grazing land lies across Council-Cuprum Road. Access to the grazing ground is provided by a solid dirt road that follows a scenic draw. The upper grazing land is primarily covered in sagebrush and includes a spring-fed pond.  The entire property is fenced and cross-fenced, and depending on the operation, the irrigated ground could also be used for hay production. Beautiful, tree-lined Hornet Creek flows through the property, with much of the waterway bordering Council-Cuprum Road, creating an attractive  natural boundary.

RECREATE & HUNT

The land is within Idaho Fish & Game Unit 18 – permits available are for big and small game plus waterfowl and upland birds, not to mention fishing of all kinds.
