Entire Farm Description:

Welcome to South Mountain in Idahos famous Owyhee Mountain Range. This 1,276+/- acre timbered, high mountain offering is one of a kind and a rarity for SW Idaho. Located in Idahos prized trophy Elk Unit 40 and its size qualifies the new owner to enter the Landowner Appreciation Program for Elk and Mule Deer. Comprised of six parcels broken up into two main pieces, each centered around an established creek bracketed by Aspens, Firs, Pines and Junipers and gaining in elevation on either side to create incredibly scenic and private timbered draws directly under South Mountains peak.

The deeded ground is connected and extended by 1,000+/- leased BLM acres, all of which is fully fenced, and the 54 AUMs on Jims Peak FFR are available to graze June to November and recently extended through 2034. Depending on desired use, Juniper abatement programs are available. Starting at 5,400ft in elevation and climbing up to 6,500ft, these tracts are ideal for summer grazing due to mild heat, available water, and abundant native grasses. Owl Creek to the west and Pole Bridge Creek to the East cut north through each piece and provide natural meadows for grazing and dense vegetation for habitat.

Unit 40 is a completely controlled unit for Elk and arguably one of the most sought-after tags in the state due to the size and quality of the herd. This property qualifies for one entry into the landowner lottery for 15 Bull Elk Rifle tags or 6 Bull Elk Archery tags. Number of entries into the lottery varies every year based on submissions, for details please contact Idaho Fish and Game Southwest Regional Office. Additional Cow Elk tags potentially available depending on area need.

Ready for cattle, hunting or just the opportunity to own some of the most spectacular mountain acreage that Idaho has to offer.
