Mountain Land And Lots

Picture waking up to sunlight breaking over the ridgelines of Game Management Area 39, coffee in hand, with nothing but pine forest, open meadow, and mountain silence stretching in every direction. This offering includes 100± undisturbed acres and 13 approved building lots (53± acres) tucked into the high country just north of Prairie on Smith Creek Road, where Elmore County’s timber and rangeland border public lands offering access to bountiful wilderness.

Walk the property and the terrain tells its own story. Dense stands of ponderosa and lodgepole pine climb the ridgelines, opening into sun-drenched meadows thick with native grass and sagebrush. This is the kind of habitat that draws elk, deer, and upland birds season after season. Aspen groves shade quiet clearings perfect for cabin sites or basecamp tents. Dirt two-tracks wind through the timber toward panoramic overlooks where the Sawtooth foothills fade blue into the distance. Even the fire-touched slopes tell a story of renewal, adding character and long-term timber value to a landscape that’s anything but static.

Because this parcel borders Federal land on two sides, your backyard effectively extends for miles, making it an unmatched basecamp for big game hunting, backcountry exploration, off-road adventure, and total off-grid independence. Whether you’re drawn here to build a family cabin retreat, develop a private hunting camp, carve out homestead lots for friends and family, or simply hold undisturbed mountain acreage as a long-term investment, the 13 lots give you flexibility that raw land rarely offers.

Access runs through Ruby Creek Road, a private route that keeps this retreat exactly as secluded as it feels, with no through-traffic, no neighbors peering in, just you and the mountain. Opportunities like this, sizable, buildable, and entirely private, surface only once in a great while, and they don’t last. Offered only as a complete package, this mountain land is ready for the next owner who’s been waiting for exactly this.
