The Spring Canyon Ranch, 1± mile west of Hailey and 12± miles south of Sun Valley, Idaho encompasses 1,800± acres surrounded by public land on three sides with the Democrat Gulch Drainage running through the center of the Idaho property. This property has so many nuances and holds a special appeal. It’s a true working ranch with 190± acres of water rights, alfalfa and oats planted on the lower elevations, and lush vegetation consisting of sage brush, bunch grasses and large forests of aspens in the higher elevations. Big game is plentiful, with an abundance of mule deer and elk that travel back and forth from the ranch to the National Forest bordering to the west. Moose are also an occasional visitor, staying in the thick vegetation following the drainage. The artesian geothermal hot springs on the Idaho property produce 500gpm at a 124 degree temperature and are a completely untapped jewel. The long term benefit of the Idaho ranch is the development potential, with over $2 million already spent on entitlement studies and reports. This is a ranch with many possibilities, and its current price truly reflects the economic environment. The infrastructure in place is very functional with lots of room in shops and garages. The buildings are very energy efficient with hot water used in the heating of all the buildings. The home is constructed from straw bales with a stucco exterior and a metal roof making it extremely efficient and inexpensive to maintain. The radiant heat in the floor on the first and second floor keep the home a very consistent temperature in the winter and the thick walls are extremely efficient in keeping the home cool in the summer. The Idaho ranch currently has approximately 45± acres planted in oats and 140± acres in alfalfa. In the past the total crop has been cut, bailed and sold to dairies in the Magic Valley. Five wheel lines and a number of hand lines are used in irrigating the property. There is one 50hp and a 60hp pump used in pulling water from the wells of depths of 185 ft. and 220 ft, for a total of 922 gallons per minute. The Spring Canyon Ranch is the ideal Idaho property for creating a recreational haven. In addition to the productive agriculture in place, the long term possibilities for developing the geothermal springs are endless.

The Democrat Gulch setting is as beautiful as it is functional.
