Property Overview
The water shows up before the season does. Each spring, Idaho Irrigation District delivery comes on, the pump starts, and two pivots take turns walking level ground east of Shelley. By fall, the place has put up two to three cuttings of grass hay, and the hay shed is full.
This is a working small farm on the Snake River Plain, built around what matters most here: dependable, pressurized irrigation water. A 20-hp turbine pump on a variable-speed drive feeds a four-tower pivot, a two-tower pivot, and hand lines in the corners, and the pivots can be run from your phone. Power runs underground across the property, so the fields stay clean and open.
The ground is flat and uniform, simple to farm, and easy to keep productive. Trees line the boundaries. Sand Creek runs along the east side, and an irrigation ditch runs along the west, and the cover along both screens the property from its neighbors. Follow the lane to the far south end, and you reach the home, a long way from the county road, where evenings are quiet.
The house is a practical five-bedroom, three-bath farmhouse with a main-floor ensuite master, a fireplace, and a finished basement with a flex room and a large food storage room. A covered front porch overlooks an established yard on automatic sprinklers, and an oversized two-bay garage is attached.
The outbuildings carry the rest. A 30’ x 64’ shop with a concrete floor offers 12-foot slide doors at each end. A 40’ x 100’ three-sided hay shed stands 25 feet at the peak. A 40’ x 80’ metal building kit is on site, ready for assembly. A grain bin, a finished workshop shed, and a chicken coop round it out.
Shelley is about eight minutes away, and Idaho Falls and Ammon are an easy drive for groceries, appointments, or dinner out. Agricultural zoning and division potential give the next owner room to plan. This is quiet, private, productive ground, ready for its next season.
