Why they chose this property
We chose Bear Creek Ranch because of its incredible location—a quiet, spacious 77-acre farm nestled deep in rural Idaho where nature truly feels alive. What we love most about this neighborhood is the peacefulness and the way the seasons paint the landscape with breathtaking beauty.
In spring and summer, the fields burst with wildflowers and the air fills with birdsong. Walking through the pastures or hiking nearby trails, you feel a sense of calm and freedom that’s hard to find anywhere else. Evenings are magical here — gathering around the fire pit under a vast, starry sky where stories and laughter flow freely.
Come fall and winter, the scene changes into a cozy wonderland. Snow blankets the ground, inviting sledding adventures and quiet walks through the crisp, fresh air. It’s a place where you can unplug, breathe deeply, and reconnect—with family, friends, and yourself.
The Princeton/Potlatch area is more than just a location—it’s a sanctuary. A place where every visitor can slow down, enjoy nature’s rhythms, and experience the simple joy of being fully present in a beautiful, unspoiled setting.
That’s why we love it here, and why we hope you will, too.
