The Fox Creek Ranch Your Equestrian Dream Property
This one of a kind property can be yours for only $1,250,000. That
is a BARGAIN considering a nearby 10 acre parcel just sold for $215,000 with no home, barn, fencing, pond or timber. When you do the math it comes to over a million six just for the land with all the extras virtually thrown in for free. There's a nearby 6 +/- acres for $195,000. That brings the per acre value on this property way up!

You decide to go over to your stocked trout pond and look back toward your home as you bask in the serenity of this setting. You know you will never have neighbors on three sides of your 77 acre ranch.
You can get on your horse and ride for as long as you want with no interference from humans. Your back yard is 777,450 acres of National Forest and state land in North Idaho. The national Forest extends into Washington state and goes all the way to the Canadian border in both states, making your huge back yard well over a million acres.
This aerial photo should put this into perspective. In the bottom right side of this photo you see a hill with trees and some cleared spots. This is an excellent place to build your dream home overlooking your entire ranch. Where the trees are very thick on this hill is approximately where the National Forest boundary is up there. The property goes into the trees a little way on the other side. Actually there are 20 to 30 acres of uncut timber across the pond in the southwest corner.
Near the top left corner of the photo is where your driveway comes into your property. That end is where the private land joins your property. All of the rest is bordered by National Forest.
The stocked trout pond is about in the center of the picture. Fox Creek is spring fed and doesn't freeze. It feeds the trout pond to keep it fresh year round.
I figured you didn't want to hear fish stories. So here you can see the fish in the stocked pond.
You can see them at feeding time below.
I'm sure you won't have any trouble finding a good neighbor willing to give you a helping hand catching your trout.
Good Samaritans are never in short supply. Is that a nice fish or what? That is some good eating.
It takes about 3 or 4 years to get them up to this size so you'll want to plan your restocking.
This is such a quiet and perfect place the neighbors just won't leave you alone. These are white tail deer in the spring. There have been as many as 30 at a time in the pasture. They must be party animals.
Here's another local to the area. You're bound to see moose, elk, deer and even an occasional bear along with bald eagles, coyotes, foxes, and other small wildlife.
With the pond you may also see waterfowl. You could even have some nest on the place if you entice them with nesting boxes and platforms.
The yellow highlighted portion of this map shows the approximate location of the ranch. As you can see, the East, West, North and even a portion of the south sides are bordered by National Forest. There is only a small portion of the south end that is bordered by private land. This map has North at the top. The aerial photo was taken from near the North East corner looking Southwest.
When you see a Forest Service map you will understand. There is very little in the way of private land up in this area near Priest Lake. 77 acres bordered on 3 sides by national Forest with a natural springfed creek and stocked trout pond is a very rare find anywhere.
Here, you find yourself only 10 minutes from Priest Lake and only about 5 minutes from the air strip.
You have all of the outdoor recreation you could ever dream of right at your back door. Downhill skiing is close with Schweitzer Mountain right at Sandpoint and Mount Spokane just east of Spokane.
Even though it seems you're at the edge of civilization you can be in the heart of Spokane shopping in a couple of hours driving or Sandpoint in an hour and fifteen minutes. If you fly you can be in either place much more quickly.
Cross country skiing anyone? Head out and see the back country in the peace and quietude of beautiful North Idaho. Speaking of skiing, you can ride your snowmobile from your ranch all the way to Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort and back on groomed trails.
Summer provides lush green hay for your horses or other livestock.
There go mama moose and her yearling calf.
This view is looking across the vinyl fencing toward the barn in the fall of the year.
This spring fed creek flows through the meadow and into the stocked trout pond.

After your scenic drive up Highway 57 from Priest River Idaho you turn up Kalispell Creek Road and drive through a heavily forested area to your driveway. You continue through the trees and come to your private drive lined by pasture and vinyl corral fences. Your 6 stall MD barn is to your right and your home is up around the bend to the left.
