Recreational Land & Farm for Sale in Bancroft, Idaho

Lying just south of the Chesterfield Reservoir, the Portneuf River Ranch offers a blend of productive cattle pasture, abundant water resources, and irrigated row crop acres. With the Portneuf River flowing through the property and multiple year-round springs, this ranch is a haven for both livestock and wildlife.

The Portneuf River Ranch comprises 258.72 +- acres, easily accessible off Rocky Ford Road. The ranch consists of two pivots, as well as wheel lines, allowing for the cultivation of irrigated row and forage crops and/or irrigated pasture. With sub-irrigated fields, the cattle pasture is highly productive and requires minimal irrigation throughout the grazing season.

Multiple springs emerge out of the ground on the eastern side of the ranch, coming together to form a singular creek that stays open year-round. This unique characteristic is attractive from a livestock watering standpoint, but also phenomenal for waterfowl hunters looking to attract late-season birds after everything else has frozen over. The property's layout and water features offer excellent potential for development into a personal hunting retreat.

The combination of infrastructure and natural beauty makes this an ideal location for a custom home with panoramic views and direct access to ranch operations. With existing septic, domestic well, and power on-site, the property provides a solid foundation for building a private residence, hunting cabin, or ranch headquarters, subject to approval from Caribou County.
