Land for Sale in Clayton, Idaho

7.32 acre vacant lot with water rights, located up the East Fork of the Salmon River. Great views in a comfortable, rural setting without isolation. The property lies in the middle of some of Idaho's finest recreation. Surrounded by the Challis National Forest, between the White Cloud and Boulder Mountain ranges, along the East Fork Salmon River, there there is boundless adventure in every direction. The nearby Jim McClure-Jerry Peak Wilderness comprises approximately 116,843 acres of non-motorized use, managed jointly between the BLM and U.S. Forest Service. This mountainous area features hiking, fishing, hunting, and equestrian use, as well as opportunities to just "get away" and enjoy some solitude. The wilderness area also includes the upper Herd Creek watershed with one of the most intact native plant communities in the state, all accessible in a day-trip from the property. Wildlife abounds. The East Fork Salmon River is a critical spawning and rearing habitat for summer steelhead and Chinook salmon and serves as a major producer of anadromous fish in the upper Salmon River drainage, with the main Salmon river being roughly 7 miles down stream from the property. The property is in GMU 36A. The area provides diverse habitat for elk, bighorn sheep, mule deer, whitetail and antelope, and serves as a crucial migration corridor and winter range.
