Offering breathtaking views of multiple mountain ranges, including the iconic Sawtooth Mountains, the 360+/- acre Hot Springs Ranch lies in the heart of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA) 45 miles north of Ketchum/Sun Valley and 15 miles south of Stanley. The ranch enjoys an extensive boundary with the Sawtooth National Forest and provides easy access to stunning alpine lakes, vast trail networks, and other natural wonders for which the SNRA is famous. The ranch is defined by a year-round, geothermal hot spring system that originates on the property and converges to form Warm Creek, a small stream that flows westward through the ranch toward the Salmon River for nearly three-quarters of a mile.

Offering breathtaking views of multiple mountain ranges, including the iconic Sawtooth Mountains, the 360+/- acre Hot Springs Ranch lies in the heart of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA) 45 miles north of Ketchum/Sun Valley and 15 miles south of Stanley. The ranch enjoys an extensive boundary with the Sawtooth National Forest and provides easy access to stunning alpine lakes, vast trail networks, and other natural wonders for which the SNRA is famous. The ranch is defined by a year-round, geothermal hot spring system that originates on the property and converges to form Warm Creek, a small stream that flows westward through the ranch toward the Salmon River for nearly three-quarters of a mile. The owner has the right to utilize the springs and diverts hot water into a small elevated pool that has been incorporated into a comfortable outdoor living area which includes changing rooms, an outdoor shower, and 2 restored, heated sheep herder trailers. As the owner often says, life isn't complete until one has experienced a Sawtooth Valley sunset while enjoying the hot pool with friends and family! Additional improvements on the ranch include a 2,000+/- sq. ft., 3-bedroom log cabin with garage, a single room restored log guest cabin, and a log storage building. The Salmon River meanders through the west boundary of the ranch for a quarter of a mile and supports a lush, willow-lined, game-rich riparian area. Wildlife includes elk, mule deer, moose and antelope. US Forest Service scenic easements cover the majority of private lands within the SNRA, and with the Hot Springs Ranch, a scenic easement covers 343+/- acres of the property, while 17 acres, which surround the hot springs and buildings, are unencumbered by the easement and carry a commercial classification under the SNRA's private lands standards. The ranch is being offered publicly for the first time and has been in the same ownership for over 40 years. A property of this size rarely becomes available within the SNRA.
