The main living space has an open floorplan which creates an inviting atmosphere and is ideal for entertaining large groups.  The focal point in this space is definitely the huge gourmet kitchen, which is as functional as it is exquisite.  The kitchen features hardwood floors, stainless steel Bosch appliances, a tile backsplash, custom cabinets, granite counter tops and a pantry.  The kitchen is well lit with the recessed ceiling lights, under counter lights, the skylight and hanging light fixtures. Space is efficiently used throughout the kitchen.  There is a working island with an overhead exhaust hood, a breakfast bar, a sliding spice rack cabinet and pull out pan drawers for easy access.  The kitchen opens out to a formal living dining combo room.  This room also features hardwood and large windows which lets in plenty of natural lighting.  Also off of the kitchen is the breakfast nook and great room with fireplace.   

Beautiful upgrades can be seen in other rooms throughout the home, such as the large master suite.  The master bedroom has French doors that open out to the deck and hot tub.  Its luxury master bathroom highlights heated floors, a dual vanity, track lighting and a walk-in shower.  The other two bathrooms in the home showcase upgraded tilework and countertops as well.  The substantial sized 29ft x 29ft recreational room with a fireplace is great for relaxing.  Just off of this rec room is a private office and a large utility room which can accommodate a high capacity washer and dryer. Other notable features of the country home include a fruit cellar, low energy windows, custom blinds, 2 water heaters and central air conditioning.  There is also an attached 1 car garage and attached 3 car carport.

The outdoor space is just as impressive and ideal for large gatherings.  There is a covered back concrete patio with curtains for both privacy and shade.  The patio looks out onto the well-manicured partially fenced lawn which has a sprinkler system in place for easy upkeep and mature shade trees.  The property also has its own private well and septic system.

The farm operations are set up to accommodate many types of livestock.  Cattle or horses can graze in the fenced irrigated pasture.  Livestock panels and corrals are installed throughout the farm.  In addition, there is a chicken coop and dog kennel.  There are two metal siding outbuildings on the property perfect for storing farm equipment, recreational vehicles or livestock.  One is a 3,600 square foot barn and the other is a 2,400 square foot shop. Approximately 8.5 acres of the property is cultivatable and could be used for growing row crops such as corn or sugar beets.  The owner is including all the irrigation equipment with the property and water shares are available. As a bonus, the farm also contains a fruit orchard.  

Besides being a hobby farm, the property is ideal for other uses.  Elements such as the large vibrant red barn, beautifully landscaped yard and plentiful parking spaces make it a suitable country venue for weddings or events.  In addition, the rich soil is conducive for growing a vineyard or small plantation. For development purposes, the property can also be subdivided with one other building lot available.

It is not uncommon to find for multiple games birds inhabiting the fields.  However, if you would like to witness more wildlife you are not far from the beautiful shores of Lake Lowell.  Lake Lowell Reservoir is 10 minutes away and is a popular Canyon County venue for enjoying swimming, boating, fishing and hiking.  There are also two public parks along the lake where residents can gather for barbeques or picnics.  Lake Lowell Park is located on the upper dam and includes a disc golf course.  The park on the lower dam is part of the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge, so it is also a great place for viewing upland birds and waterfowl.  Just east of the farm in the opposite direction is the Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area.  This protected habitat is another great location to view wildlife and birds. 

If you enjoy hunting, seasonal hunting opportunities for deer, wolf, upland bird and duck hunting are available through Idaho Department of Fish & Game’s Unit 38.  Or if you prefer to fish, many people enjoy fishing for rainbow trout or largemouth bass in the nearby Wilson Springs Pond.
