EXECUTIVE SUMMARY O ffering breath-taking scenery and serene privacy, the 705 + acre Cabarton Ranch North is nestled at the base of West Mountain in the southwestern-edge of Valley County, near Lake Cascade, Cascade, Idaho. Its upper settings offer vistas overlooking the ag-based, recreation-filled valley to mountain-peaks that lead northward into the famous FRANK CHURCH, RIVER OF NO RETURN WILDERNESS. Bordering the Boise National Forest for one mile on its west boundary, it affords immediate access to recreational pursuits into the beautiful basin below Snowbank Mountain with its alpine lakes, creeks and abundant wildlife, such as elk and deer, snowmobiling, and horseback riding. Valley County is still a cattleman s dream-land with lush mountain grasses that provide summer grazing to mother cows and their calves. This property has been part of a several generation cattle ranch that has Cabarton Road (county road) frontage, excellent water rights for 117 acres and great building sites. Note: there are two adjacent properties making up the original 2147 acre ranch along with this parcel that may provide the opportunity to be re-assembled. Please inquire with Broker-Assoc. (Lon Lundberg 208.559.2120).
LOCATION The Cabarton Ranch North along the county road starts a few hundred yards from the Payette River as valley-bottom grassland, which then rises up the slopes of West Mountain Range into the Boise National Forest. It is a couple miles to the south tip of Lake Cascade with an average elevation of 4800 feet, five miles to the city of Cascade, 33 miles north to McCall and 62 miles south to Eagle in the Boise/Treasure Valley with airports at both McCall and Boise. Boise Airport (BOI) offers regularly scheduled flights from six major air carriers (Southwest, Alaska, Delta, Horizon, United, and US Airway) to all regions in the nation. McCall and Cascade both offer municipal airports for private aircraft and charter services.

With an elevation starting at 4800 ± feet above sea level and being on the easterly side of West Mountain, growing seasons run 60-70 days and summer can start in late June. The irrigated ground has grown oats and alfalfa in the past by flood irrigation. The property is border fenced with a gate along the road. Historically, this property was run with the adjacent 1442 ± acres to its south, which was the home base for the several generations that owned it. (The south piece also has held a U.S.D.A. forest service permit to graze 182 pair for three months (July10-Oct10) in an approximate 14,000 ± acre allotment.) This parcel would provide good grass for summer & fall grazing. While the owner has not had a timber cruise performed to know exactly how much is available, there is a good stand of merchantable timber and the forest could benefit by a selective harvest to reduce fire risk. The possibilities for this property seem limitless to ponder and moving cattle on horseback is a good one. It also offers several nice homesites with privacy and views.

V LOCALE & VALLEY COUNTY AMENITIES alley County is a rural, agricultural county located in west central Idaho. Established in 1917, it was named after the Long Valley of the North Fork of the Payette River, which extends over 30 miles from Payette Lake at McCall south to Cascade and down to Round Valley, where Native Americans hunted and lodged when the white man arrived seeking gold in the 1860 s. The Long Valley Ambush of 1878 was along the Van Wyck Trail, which led to the town of Van Wyck, now buried under Lake Cascade. The valley was formerly summer pasture for livestock from the Boise Valley. Since the completion of the Cascade Dam in 1948, much of the northern valley has been covered by Lake Cascade. The population was estimated at 9,545 in 2012. The county seat is Cascade (sitting at an elevation of 4760 feet) and the largest city is McCall. The county has a total area of 3,734± square miles, of which 3,678± square miles is land and 56± square miles is water. The annual cost of living in Valley County is 12.5% less than the U.S. national average. The average farm is 420 acres and generates $22,397/year. The average number of cows/calves is 7.66 per 100 acres. There is such an abundance of things to do and year-round recreation to enjoy in Valley County, as depicted in the photo-collage that follows:
