THE HOME -
This lovely
home and property is being
offered for $795,000.00 and
sits
on gently sloping land in a
small subdivision that is
nestled between some
towering rock pinnacles and
a famous river. The canyon,
formed by the Salmon River,
is reported to be the second
deepest gorge in North
America. The subdivision is
located 13.5 miles west of
the community of North Fork,
ID
and 35 miles northwest of
Salmon, ID in east central
Idaho. Highway US 93 and the
Salmon River pass through
both of these communities.
Abundant wildlife, which is
a joy to view, graze on the
grasses of this former hay
farm.
This quiet area offers a
peaceful place to live with
just a few neighbors.
Walking along the |
|
river
bank looking for animal
tracks, hiking up the
hillside for a terrific
overview of the area, or
driving up a creek drainage
for stunning
views of the surrounding
mountains are just some of
the activities this property
allows you to do. |
