Land with Home for Sale in Melba, Idaho
11487 State Highway 78, Melba, ID 83641
OFF GRID HEATING AND WATER SOURCE PROPERTY. This GEOTHERMAL 132 degrees artesian well, meaning no pump, has great mineral benefits and is capable of producing close to 800 gallons a minute. Well draws from the same AQUIFER AS GIVENS HOT SPRINGS which has beneficial mineral healing properties. This seemingly unlimited water source can provide this amazing property with an Olympic size pool and smaller hot spring pools with different temperatures. The 3132 sq. ft. 6-bedroom 2-bathroom home, the 1200 sq ft shop, and two greenhouses are all heated with THE GEOTHERMAL WELL. This alone saves you $1000's of dollars in utility costs each year. Consistently leaving a modest electric bill less than $100 a month. Today's cost for this well would easily be $250K +. Listing consists of 4 total lots, 3 that are buildable. Because of the second cold water well, fruit trees, greenhouses, and geothermal water, and additional building lots, this property provides a great MULTI-GENERATIONAL property and a great start to LIVING OFF GRID. Other great features include backing up to open space, beautiful views of the Owyhee Mountains, across the road from the Snake River, and located by an airport, Sunrise Skypark. As shown in the pictures, the remodeling process has begun and ready for new buyer to continue the process.
