North Mountain Ranch Retreat

North Mountain Ranch Retreat | North Fork, ID

Nestled beneath the rugged peaks of the Rocky Mountains and just 15 feet from the crystalline flow of Little 4th of July Creek, this extraordinary 58-acre ranch offers the perfect balance of comfort, adventure, and natural beauty—all with easy year-round access via a paved county road.

Welcome to a spacious and inviting ranch-style home with 3,180 square feet of well-crafted living space. Designed for comfort and functionality, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence includes two generous primary suites—ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or hosting in style.

Step into the heart of the home: a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring granite countertops, porcelain sink, and ample storage for all your culinary needs. High coffered ceilings, 9-foot walls, and an open-concept layout create a warm, welcoming atmosphere across three separate gathering rooms and a formal dining area—perfect for entertaining or relaxing in solitude.

Step outside and soak in the surroundings: enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the private hot tub, serenaded by the gentle creek just steps away. Built for self-sufficiency and year-round living, the home is equipped with three heating systems (central boiler, electric furnace, and pellet stove) plus a backup generator for peace of mind.

Outdoors, the property continues to impress with:

• A fenced and irrigated garden, featuring raspberry bushes, cherry, pear, plum, and apple trees

• A greenhouse, shop, and showbarn, all sharing the home’s efficient boiler system

• A 40’x70′ shop with large sliding doors and an open wing for equipment or vehicles

• An immaculate 40’x60′ show barn with horse and dog stalls, mats, auto-waterers, outdoor runs, and an adjacent tack shed and round pen

• A 30’x60′ hay barn, perfect for storing hay, RVs, or outdoor gear

• A trout-stocked pond fed by Little 4th of July Creek

The land is a true asset: 58 acres of irrigated and rangeland, cross-fenced, with established water rights and flood irrigation in place. Even more appealing, the property is subdivided into seven buildable parcels, offering potential for future development or legacy planning.

Surrounded by panoramic mountain views and teeming with wildlife, this is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. The nearby Salmon River offers world-class fishing and whitewater rafting, while private access to state land opens the door to trophy elk hunting, horseback riding, and exploring the legendary Lewis and Clark Trail—right from your back door. Whether you’re seeking a serene retreat, a working ranch, or a recreational haven, this North Fork gem offers it all—privacy, productivity, and unparalleled natural beauty.
