BENNETT MOUNTAIN PARCELS
The Bennett Mountain and Bennett Hills portions of this offering together provide 9,589 acres
where the timbered wildlife haven of the peak retreats into rolling hills and idyllic ranchland.
The Bennett Mountain summit offerings encompass a total of 2,800 acres, and are broken
into 10 parcels: two main ranches of 1,480 acres and 960 acres, and 8 smaller 40 or 80 acre
ranchettes. Bennett Mountain is a place where moose are commonplace, beaver dams tier
the stream beds, Boone and Crockett bears roam, mountain bluebirds share the crisp highland
air with the eagles soaring above, and the clock stands still. This is Idaho’s hunting mecca,
with the most desired deer and elk tags in Idaho. A dream opportunity for the sportsman,
the mountain offers the ideal private hunting ranch in a notoriously animal rich paradise.

"The Smoky-Bennett Zone elk herd totaled 4,871 animals, with cow elk (2,712) and
calf elk (1,173) making up the majority of the count. Nearly 1,000 bulls were counted,
including 337 spikes, 349 raghorn bulls and 300 mature bulls. 'Both the calf/cow
and bull/cow ratios are encouraging,' Fish and Game wildlife manager Daryl Meints
said. 'Both ratios are signs of a very healthy elk herd.'"

BENNETT HILLS PARCELS
The remaining 6,789 acres of the upland portion of Bennett Mountain Ranch slopes gently to the east of the summit
through the famed Bennett Hills. Abundant water and grazing habitat abound for the wildlife and cattle that feed
off this land. A true working ranch, Bennett Mountain Ranch supports a vibrant cattle operation in conjunction
with the incomparable gaming opportunities. Camas Creek and the Centennial Marsh promote an ideal and lush
wildlife habitat, and natural springs and creeks throughout the ranch provide ample resources for cattle. These acres
are directly in the migration path of elk and deer herds, and are full of antelope and bear, with award winning game
being taken annually here below the mountaintop as well. With mountain vistas on the horizon, ideal ranchland,
and trophy wild game, the Bennett Hills portion of Bennett Mountain Ranch truly has it all for both the seasoned
rancher and the avid sportsman.

SNAKE RIVER PARCELS
The Snake River rushes westward, carving the famous Snake River Valley of Idaho where this lush farmland sits.
Bennett Mountain Ranch boasts 1,866 acres on the river valley floor, including 796 acres of irrigated land with
452 acres under pivot. Broken into 7 separate parcels for this offering, each individual farm presents its own unique
characteristics and allure, from the unassuming yet private and pristine Clover Creek Ranch, to the breathtaking
grandeur and waterfront sportsman’s oasis of Cliffside. Located in the coveted King Hill Irrigation District,
the irrigated ground here is some of the best in the region, and has fostered fantastic yields of alfalfa, barley, corn,
wheat, potatoes, and sugar beets through the years. In addition to the ideal farming opportunities, wild game such
as elk, deer, antelope, upland birds, and waterfowl all call the Snake River Valley home as well, and inhabit these
farms in multitudes.

this agricultural area known as Idaho's Snake River Valley. The Snake River
watershed region is the tenth largest in North America, and is a significant
contributor to Idaho's status as one of the western states with the highest
percentage of irrigated agricultural acres.
