GARDEN CREEK GEOTHERMAL RANCH. This beautiful ranch, just a few miles west of the small town of Challis, Idaho is nestled in the Rocky Mountains with a 415-acre spread, set back in the cottonwood trees with a half mile of Garden creek running throughout. This majestic ranch has roughly 60-70 acres of gravity flow irrigated ground with the remainder of the acreage being in trees, native grass, and sagebrush. There are surface water rights from Garden creek with excellent priority rights. However, the true crme de la crme of this amazing land are the geothermal possibilities that are as of yet, simply brimming with potential. Owner reports three known locations of live water on the property with a constant temperature of 70 degrees. Deeper exploration may result in much hotter water. Big game animals are plentiful in both the private access of John's Gulch as well as in the public lands that border the property, which makes this an incredible opportunity for a base hunting operation. Garden Creek, a year-round stream, contains small trout and is both wonderfully soothing and very fishable. Come and see it today!
