South Fork River's Edge Lot Irwin, Idaho

Details & Features

South Fork Water’s Edge Lot presents an exceptional opportunity to own one of the few remaining vacant riverfront parcels along the highly sought-after upper South Fork of the Snake River near Irwin, Idaho. Spanning approximately 2.83 acres, the property offers an exceptional combination of privacy, usability, and direct access to one of the West’s premier trout fisheries. Mature tree cover, gentle topography, and more than 290 feet of South Fork frontage create an ideal setting for a custom riverfront retreat in one of the Rocky Mountain West’s most celebrated sporting destinations.

Positioned along a quiet stretch of the river, the property provides easy access to fishing, floating, and year-round outdoor recreation. During normal summer flows, a side channel directly in front of the property offers excellent fishing opportunities just steps from the future homesite, while the gentle slope to the water’s edge allows for convenient day-to-day river access. A natural slough traverses the property, creating attractive ponding potential and enhancing both the landscape and wildlife habitat.

Protected National Forest lands across the river preserve the surrounding viewscape and natural character, while views of Mount Baldy provide a dramatic mountain backdrop. Located near Swan Valley, Jackson Hole, and Idaho Falls, the property offers convenient access to world-class fly fishing, boating, hiking, snowmobiling, and expansive public lands throughout the region.
