With gorgeous 360-degree views the HILLTOP RANCH is a small, beautiful horse & cattle ranch with an incredible home, barn, verdant hay fields, pond and native grass pastures. Offering beautiful scenery, the 140.5± acre Hilltop Ranch is sits atop the hills over Dutch Flat just minutes east of Midvale in Washington County, ID. The 4,116± square foot home is a classic, custom-built ‘arts & crafts-style’ ranch house by master builder “Lee Else” completed in 2020. The red barn is well laid out and the working facilities are very handy. The outbuildings include a work shop, chicken coop and garden green house. Views of its neighboring mountain ranges (Cuddy, Council, Indian & West Mountains) are awe-inspiring. The home is a 5-bed, 3-bath home with music conservatory, an office/study with wet bar, sewing room, formal dining, family and living rooms. The living room encourages entertaining as does the back patio overlooking the Little Weiser River Valley and the West Mountain Range. A great value in today's market.
The Hilltop Ranch contains 140.5± deeded acres in two parcels. The owner has been farming 20± acres in dryland farming of alfalfa hay (of the near 50± farmable acres), which is mostly Midvale silty clay loam. Last season’s production yielded 1.9± ton of hay per acre (38.5 ton). The balance of the land is native range and bulbous bluegrass, which has been very useful for grazing. The well produces 25 gallons per minute for the house and all external facilities, including the livestock facilities, garden and chicken coop.
The Hilltop Ranch is a well located, contained, efficient working ranch in a picturesque setting in the beautiful Little Weiser River drainage of history, recreational attributes and timeless values. It offers the best of two worlds: a country lifestyle that feels almost like time has stood still with neighbors to befriend, while the other realizes the benefits of reasonable access to city amenities. Only two hours to the Boise Valley, it is easily accessible, yet private and remote enough for those longing for a simpler lifestyle. In a valley of wonderful ranching families, this is an incredible opportunity for someone looking for a 140-acre horse or cow ranch at a reasonable price for the quality of offering.
