Idaho Backcountry Cabin on 1.77 Acres Near Public Lands — $124,900

1.77 acres in the Idaho backcountry for under $125,000. That is the thing that stops you here.

The property is in the Elk City area of Idaho County, which puts you deep in the mountains of central Idaho. This is not a suburb with a view. The Dixie and Elk City corridor is known for its wildlife, its proximity to miles of public land, and the kind of quiet you do not find within two hours of a city. The land is wooded, the setting is mountain, and what surrounds you beyond the property line is more of the same.

The house itself is a 714 square foot, two bedroom, one bath cabin built in 1985. At that size, you know what you are getting. A place to sleep, cook, and get out of the weather while you are there. The structure is modest and the square footage is honest about what this property is.

The listing data does not detail recent mechanical work or specific updates, so if condition is a deciding factor for you, that is worth pressing on before you go further.

What the listing makes clear is the access. Hunting, fishing, hiking, and horseback riding are all within reach of this address. The public lands near Elk City include portions of the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest, which means the trail system and the elk country essentially start at the edge of what you own.

People pay a lot more than $124,900 for a fraction of this land elsewhere in the mountain West, and most of those properties do not come with this kind of buffer from the outside world. Here you get nearly two wooded acres, a small cabin to anchor the property, and a location that is genuinely remote without being inaccessible.

The asking price is $124,900.
