Property Overview
Medicine Lodge Creek presents a rare opportunity to acquire 1,258± acres of diverse landscape in Clark County, Idaho, a region steeped in history and natural resources. This expansive property offers a unique combination of irrigated farmland, private creek frontage, and direct access to Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands for seemingly endless trail riding on horseback, ATV, or UTV. Medicine Lodge Creek offers a compelling option for agricultural, recreational, and conservation-minded buyers.
The property encompasses both sides of Medicine Lodge Creek as it flows through the ranch. Historically, this waterway has been central to the area, with its banks bearing witness to the presence of Native American tribes for centuries. While the creek naturally experiences “bed loss” and is a “sinking creek” several miles away after it leaves the canyon, its presence is strong on this property and underpins the ranch’s water resources and unique environs for abundant wildlife such as elk, deer, moose, upland game, and much more. With creek and well water rights dating back to the 1880s, it boasts direct irrigation for approximately 100 acres of farmland and several stock water rights essential for livestock operations.
Beyond its agricultural and scenic appeal, Medicine Lodge Creek offers a significant recreational draw. The creek and surrounding landscape provide opportunities for fishing and hunting, enhanced by the property’s extensive border with vast BLM lands, expanding the scope for outdoor pursuits. The property itself crosses into two hunting units, allowing more game and hunting options. Its diverse terrain, from irrigated fields to timbered reaches, supports a variety of wildlife. This is easily accessible from a county-maintained road and currently has a conservation easement, allowing a residence, enabling this property’s ecosystem to be enjoyed for generations. This combination of historical depth, operational viability, and recreational access positions Medicine Lodge Creek as a distinctive and valuable Western land asset.
