Grey Eagle Ranch

A river runs through it! Grey Eagle Ranch just South of Bellevue, Idaho is 100 acres of unimproved land offering a blank canvas for ranch living and land stewardship. Whether one’s passion is experiencing the wonder of a rich wildlife habitat, farm to table agriculture, the equestrian life, or fly fishing for Rainbow and Brown Trout, this property is truly a legacy opportunity.

Part of just a handful of private land ownerships between Bellevue and the Bigwood River Irrigation Bypass upstream from Glendale Road, the ranch is part of a riparian zone teeming with wildlife; home to large elk herds, moose, deer, waterfowl, and birds of prey including majestic Bald Eagles that nest on the property.

The landscape includes an elevated bench terrace flanked by 27 acres of irrigated pasture producing custom hay. The bench offers a building site with expansive views across the pastures of mountain horizons including Sun Valley’s Baldy Ski Mountain to the North. Zoning also permits residential building sites just 75 feet from the Bigwood River in the substantial acreage that lies out of the jurisdictional floodplain. The magical groves of giant Cottonwood trees where new growth intermingles with skeletal logs and limbs is an ancestral ecosystem that evokes a sense of transcendence in its midst. This property can facilitate a family compound with multiple residences, or simply be a very private retreat paying homage to the profound landscape.

Just minutes from services, the City of Bellevue with markets and restaurants is only a half mile North of the ranch, Friedman Airport in Hailey ten minutes away, and the recreational and cultural amenities of Sun Valley and Ketchum resort centers a half hour drive, including world famous Baldy ski mountain. For the avid angler who wishes to branch out from the freestone waters of the Bigwood River on the property, which are essentially private with limited public access within the streambed, world famous spring creek fishing on Silver Creek is 15 minutes to the South. The combination of convenience and unspoiled solitude this property offers is remarkable. Owned by a local family for over 40 years, this is a rare opportunity to craft one’s personal Idaho lifestyle.
