 Idaho Survival Property, Elk City


Situated on Yew Wood Road, 3.5 miles outside of tiny Elk City, Idaho,
 this lovely 18 acre wilderness property with a patented gold mining claim, is a must see!


It has a 600' American River frontage, 3 story 1800 sq' home with lovely views,
1320 watt solar power, a 60' x 45' greenhouse, outbuildings, 1/2 acre fenced berry orchard/garden,
permanent springs and abundant wildlife.

Interest is being sought from conservation-minded people who will value, treasure,
 and peacefully coexist with the surrounding wildlife, protecting them from the
suffering and death caused by hunting and trapping. 


The property is off the grid and has gravity fed spring water to both the house and greenhouse.
