FLYING H RANCH

Downey, Idaho

$10,000,000

2,186± Acres

INTRODUCTION

Flying H Ranch is a rare opportunity to own 2,186± deeded acres in the heart of southeastern Idaho’s most productive ranching country. Stewarded for generations by a multi-generation agricultural family with deep roots in the region, this fully operational cattle ranch has been thoughtfully developed for efficient, large-scale livestock production. The property combines productive irrigated ground with extensive native and improved pastures, creating a balanced operation designed for disciplined rotational grazing and modern market adaptability through an established direct-to-consumer beef program.

The ranch’s productivity is anchored by approximately 400± acres under pivot irrigation, while the remaining acreage supports native and selected grasses well-suited for seasonal grazing. Irrigated pastures are enclosed with well-maintained five-- and six-wire fencing providing durability and effective livestock control. The pivots feature extended runs to the centers, and drill pipe infrastructure supports intensive grazing using temporary electric fencing following hay cuttings. This system allows cattle to utilize higher elevation pasture during peak grazing periods, maximizing the property’s carrying capacity and forage efficiency.

Located near Downey at an elevation of 4,682± feet, the ranch offers both productive isolation and practical access. The property lies within Idaho’s Big Game Unit 74 and qualifies for the Idaho Fish and Game Landowner Appreciation Program (LOP), providing enhanced opportunities for deer and elk hunting. Fishing opportunities on the Portneuf River and Devil Creek Reservoir, located nearby, further complement the ranch’s recreational appeal.

While best known for its agricultural productivity, Flying H Ranch also functions as a purpose-built livestock operation. The ranch headquarters features numerous heavy-duty corrals constructed of drill pipe and lined with five-foot rubber belting, a 22’ x 72’ calving shed, a 40’ x 60’ shop, and additional support structures. The property is fully fenced and currently supports a complete cattle operation, including livestock and equipment, allowing for a true turnkey transition.

With southeastern Idaho’s growing reputation as a productive agricultural region, Flying H Ranch sits in an area with both proven ranching heritage and long-term investment potential. Whether envisioned as a legacy family operation, an expansion to an existing portfolio, or a turnkey entry into Idaho ranching, Flying H Ranch stands as one of the region’s most complete and compelling offerings.
