The property is completely surrounded by a National Forest, and a road permit is needed to access the ranch. The main Ranch on Phelan Creek is 995 acres with a separate 83 acre parcel and a 20.26-acre parcel on Panther Creek. This is a gem, with 472 acres of ditch irrigation out of Phelan Creek and Pony Creek, right in the middle of Salmon National Forest. There are two off-grid cabins on the property, in which the owners lived in the Phelan Creek cabin during the summer months. This is a backcountry property, but good roads lead to the front gate, creating amazing privacy and an incredible hunting ranch. Wildlife consists of elk, deer, bear, and moose with Phelan Creek flowing through the ranch for 1.5 miles. Creating a beautiful lush valley where big game and cattle thrive. In the early days of the property, gold mining was king with the big strike in Leesburg, 4 miles to the north. Cattle and big game are king now!
