Property Overview
Set in Idaho’s scenic Bear Lake Valley, Wallentine Ranch brings together productive agricultural land, efficient water delivery, and ready access to year-round recreation. The ranch encompasses approximately 728± deeded acres, including approximately 502 irrigated acres of pasture and cropland and 226± acres of non-irrigated grazing land.
A defining feature of the property is its established gravity-fed irrigation system supplied by Paris Creek. Water travels approximately 10 miles through an enclosed pipeline operated by the Paris Relief Canal Company. The system requires no booster pumps, eliminating pumping costs associated with delivering irrigation water to the ranch. Enclosed conveyance also limits the evaporation and seepage losses commonly associated with open ditches. Four center pivots distribute water across the irrigated ground, with approximately 2.5 pivots typically operating at one time.
Wallentine Ranch has historically supported approximately 50–75 cows year-round, plus annual hay production averaging 1,250–1,500 tons. The irrigated acreage, additional grazing ground, fencing, and livestock capacity provide the foundation for practical livestock and crop operation, with the flexibility to support a variety of agricultural uses.
Located near Montpelier, Paris, and Bear Lake, the ranch keeps services and recreation close at hand. Nearby lakes, mountains, and public lands offer boating, fishing, hunting, horseback riding, hiking, ATV riding, and snowmobiling, while broad fields and open pasture stretch toward the mountains in classic southeastern Idaho fashion.
Wallentine Ranch pairs productive acreage and established water infrastructure with the setting and lifestyle of the Bear Lake region, offering a spacious, scenic opportunity that’s still conveniently connected to nearby communities and recreation.
Imagine mornings overlooking irrigated fields, livestock grazing across open pasture, and evenings framed by expansive mountain and valley views.
