Indian Gulch Hunting Retreat
National Forest #059 : Shoup, ID 83469
Lemhi County, Idaho
Farm Description
Rare opportunity to own an original homestead that has never been on the market before. This off-grid property is behind a locked gate set in a secluded location surrounded by Salmon-Challis National Forest land. The unspoiled acreage serves as the perfect recreational and hunting retreat with Musgrove Creek meandering through the entire length of the property. This spring-fed creek provides plenty of water year-round to the property.
This rare pristine piece of mountain land encompasses the only usable land along the entire length of Musgrove Creek. The creek along with the 70+ acres of wooded meadow and the natural salt licks on the property attract and provide refuge for area wildlife such as deer and trophy elk. The property has the resource potential to generate power from the consistent drop and flow of the creek. The consistent amount of cloudless days in the summer and fall seasons provide solar power potential as well.
There are 2 residences on the property which include the original 1940S log cabin and a separate 2 story living quarters. The single-level log cabin has 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. The other home was built in 1996 with 1,283 sq ft of living space. It highlights two main-level bedrooms, a bathroom, a cozy living room with a wood stove, a second-floor loft with a balcony overlooking the creek, and an enclosed porch. There is also the potential to create a landing strip near the existing cabins so one can access the property via airplane or helicopter.
The fully deeded property comes with full water, logging, and mineral rights.
Perhaps one of the greatest points of interest near the Indian Gulch Hunting Retreat is The Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness Area. This almost 2.4 million acres of protected landmass features some of the most beautiful untouched wilderness in the country including the Middle Fork of the Salmon River and the Bighorn Crags.
This truly isolated heavenly retreat is a must-see and your opportunity to have your own private piece of Idaho.
