Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This 15.08-acre tract offers a gated entrance off a paved highway, with a dirt road leading to a small 600 sq ft, 2-bedroom, 1-bath house that is ready for renovation. The land is a mix of mesquite and native brush and includes a dry pond and existing T-post fencing, providing a defined, rural setting. A water well is on site but is non-working. Electric service is available through Magic Valley, but the pole and meter will need to be re-installed.

The property is located on the west side of US 281, just south of the SH 1017 intersection. For showings, use gate code 3669.

For buyers looking for a weekend getaway, a more secluded homesite, or a new rural location for a growing business, the combination of gated access, fenced acreage, and an existing house gives flexibility for near-term use while plans are finalized. The site does have utility items to address, including the non-working well and electrical service equipment that needs to be brought back online, so prospective buyers should factor those steps into their timeline and budgeting.
