The deer, elk, turkeys, grouse and bear thrive in this area due to the lush undergrowth and huckleberries that are present throughout the property. The land is in a conservation easement that allows the owner to chose a 2 acre building site located in an 8 acre building envelope. The easement allows owners to continue to run cattle, horses and other animals as well as hay the pasture areas. The hay field has an irrigation point ready for a new owner to run sprinklers as they see fit. The water rights that transfer with this property allow land owners to take care of their animals and ground.
