464 Acres of Improved Land for Sale in Sun Valley, Idaho

Nestled against the foothills of the Pioneer Mountains, North Renegade Ranch features 464+- acres and over a half-mile of fabled Silver Creek. The property is conveniently located 45 minutes from Ketchum and the Sun Valley Resort and a half-hour south of the commercial airport in Hailey. Improvements are highlighted by a 2,160+- square foot log "fishing cabin" located in a secluded aspen grove on the banks of Silver Creek. Upstream of the home is an outdoor venue with a fire pit and barbeque area ideal for creekside dining and entertaining. Other improvements include a three-bedroom guest house, manager's residence, equipment storage, and a large workshop with attached dog kennels. Silver Creek flows through the property from north to south through mature stands of aspen, willow, and river birch that create a private, park-like setting along the stream corridor. This section of Silver Creek is amazingly diverse and comprised of gravel runs, rocky riffles, deep holes, long flats, and undercut banks. Because of the challenging nature of navigating this portion of the stream, the ranch enjoys a very private fishery with virtually no impact from other anglers or floaters. Although trout fishing is the predominant activity on the property, the ranch provides excellent wildlife habitat and is home to elk, mule deer, waterfowl, and upland game birds. In addition to its recreational attributes, the ranch features an active farming operation that utilizes approximately 185 acres of sprinkler-irrigated cropland to raise hay and grain. The ranch is not covered by a conservation easement at the present time. However, because of the property's size, location, and extensive frontage on Silver Creek, it is a prime candidate for one. North Renegade Ranch encompasses the northern end of the 1,226+- acre Renegade Ranch which is also available for purchase through Hall and Hall.
