763 Acres of Recreational Land for Sale in American Falls, Idaho

Formerly dry farmland and grazing ground, this property is subdivided into six contiguous parcels with seasonal county road access off Blind Springs Road and has multi-use potential. The terrain ranges from level to moderate slope with draws and a two-track providing access to much of the acreage. Five hundred sixty acres had been in CRP. These five hundred sixty acres of farm ground have a history of dry farming wheat, safflower, and cattle grazing.
