Historical Idaho Ranch FOR SALE surrounded by Caribou Nat. Forest- near Bear Lake & Jackson Hole

http://www.wyomingmountainproperties.com

The historic & beautiful 232 deeded acre Halfway House Ranch is surrounded by millions of acres of the Caribou National Forest in Caribou County, Idaho. Spectacular mountain views in all directions! Crow Creek flows through the ranch. Aspen, pine, sage meadows and creek-bottom willows grow throughout the ranch. Wildlife such as moose, elk and mule deer are very common.

This ranch is known locally as the "Halfway House Ranch" and has historical significance as it was a "road ranch" on the old Crow Creek Road in the early 1900s. The road ran from Montpelier, ID to Afton, WY--a 4-7 day trip--and teamsters, stagecoach passengers and mail carriers needing a night's rest and food were always welcomed by the ranch's owners. The rustic homestead, outbuildings and corrals are still located on the property, standing amid the beautiful mountain scenery, as a testament to a past era.

Since this ranch is surrounded by the beautiful Caribou National Forest, outdoor recreational opportunities are endless--from rural ranching to hunting, horseback riding, ATVing, fishing in the thousands of acres of lakes and streams in the vicinity, and water sports in nearby scenic Bear Lake. In the winter, this area is a snowmobiler's delight with hundreds of miles of groomed trails to explore.

The ranch has several spectacular building sites looking out over the forested mountains. An improved roadway has been constructed that accesses the interior of the ranch.

The quaint town of Afton, WY is the closest community to the ranch. Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park is about 1 1/2 hours away.

Don't miss out on the opportunity to own such a beautiful ranch and a unique part of Western history!
