Nestled in the shadows of the Smoky Mountains and within an hour's drive of Sun Valley lies Hope Rock Ranch—an expansive, contiguous cattle operation rooted in restorative and resilient land management. The ranch focuses on building soil and water health, enhancing biodiversity, and increasing productivity while surrounded by exceptional recreational opportunities.
Hope Rock Ranch consists of 1,606.86 ± deeded acres of improved rangeland easily accessed off Highway 20. The ranch was thoughtfully developed with a robust stock water irrigation system, electric perimeter and cross fencing, and adaptable temporary fencing. The infrastructure was designed with practicality and efficiency, using high-quality materials to ensure long-term durability. Multiple control points allow for selective activation of the electric fencing system, while the well pump operates primarily on solar power, with a generator used only during extended cloud cover.
Located in Idaho’s coveted Unit 44 for big game hunting, antelope, mule deer, and migrating elk are frequently seen on the ranch. The property is eligible for participation in the Idaho Fish and Game’s Landowner Appreciation Program (LAP). Registered landowners with 640 ± acres of significant deer, elk, pronghorn, or black bear habitat can enter to receive a chance at drawing one LAP tag per eligible species.
The area is also home to upland birds, hawks, owls, and a variety of songbirds. For anglers, the nearby Big Wood River and Silver Creek provide world-class trout fishing, while recreational enthusiasts will enjoy being just 19 miles from Soldier Mountain Ski Area and 46 miles from the renowned Sun Valley Resort.
A 1,647± square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bath manufactured home sits atop the highest point on the property’s north side, offering sweeping views of the Camas Prairie. Recently renovated, the house is well-suited as a primary residence or weekend retreat, or a ranch manager can utilize it. With varied zoning across the property, there are opportunities for additional development contingent upon Camas County approval.
Hope Rock Ranch presents a rare opportunity for those looking to launch or expand a livestock operation in a region rich with natural beauty and recreational access. The property has been carefully managed and improved and is ready for its next steward to continue the vision and build upon its solid foundation.
