Oxbow Crescent

Oxbow Crescent offers a rare opportunity to acquire 720± acres of productive agricultural land and diverse wildlife habitat along the Snake River in Jefferson County, Idaho. This property functions as a private peninsula, with access exclusively via private entry or by boat, ensuring a secluded environment. Its extensive frontage access along the Snake River provides seamless access to the water and encompasses portions of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) acreage, which is accessed directly through the property.

The land is a blend of 410± irrigated acres and 310± acres dedicated to range, waterfowl habitat, and pasture, creating a balanced ecosystem. Water rights dating back to the 1880s, sourced from Emigrant Creek and the Snake River, underpin the property’s agricultural productivity, with flood irrigation managed through established canal systems. This robust water infrastructure supports a variety of agricultural operations, from hay production to cattle grazing.

Beyond its agricultural utility, Oxbow Crescent serves as a haven for wildlife. The abundance of water and varied habitat fosters a teeming environment, attracting whitetail deer, moose, ducks, geese, turkeys, and much more. The area is particularly recognized for its exceptional whitetail deer populations and offers prime duck hunting opportunities within the numerous waterways and sloughs. Anglers can enjoy fishing directly from the property’s Snake River frontage. An old homestead house and working corrals remain on the property, hinting at its ranching legacy and providing functional improvements for continued use. This combination of private river access, agricultural potential, and robust wildlife populations invites a vision of a self-sustaining ranch and a private recreational retreat.
