RECREATION
Photos not taken on property
Apple Ridge Farmstead sits along the Snake River near Fruitland, offering owners direct access to local fishing, open-water views, and the surrounding agricultural valley. The property’s registered runway extends that access much further, putting Idaho’s backcountry rivers and wilderness hunting grounds within flight range instead of a multi-day trip by road or trail. Few properties in this region combine river frontage, working ground, and private air access into a single package built for the outdoor-minded owner.
HUNTING | WILDLIFE Southwest Idaho’s valley and river corridors support mule deer, whitetail deer, upland birds such as pheasant and chukar, and waterfowl along the Snake River drainage. Beyond, the property’s registered runway provides direct access to the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, the largest roadless wilderness area in the lower 48 states. Backcountry airstrips throughout the Frank Church and Selway Bitterroot Wilderness give pilots access to elk, mule deer, and black bear hunting in terrain that would otherwise take days to reach on foot or horseback. Few properties offer this direct, private launch point into Idaho’s remote hunting country. 16

FISHING The Snake River borders the property near Fruitland, where anglers regularly find smallmouth bass, channel catfish, and mountain whitefish, along with seasonal opportunities for rainbow trout. Beyond the local water, the registered runway puts Idaho’s renowned backcountry fisheries within flight range. The Middle Fork of the Salmon River and the rivers threading through the Frank Church Wilderness are home to native cutthroat trout, Chinook salmon, and steelhead, waters that are otherwise reached only by long trail rides or multi-day pack trips. For an owner with an aircraft, that backcountry access becomes a same-day trip instead of an expedition.

OTHER RECREATION Beyond river and backcountry access, the surrounding area offers additional recreational opportunities for owners and guests. Scotch Pines Golf Course in nearby Payette provides an eighteen hole round with valley views. Treasure Valley’s wine country, a short drive from the property, offers tastings and vineyard tours. Fruitland’s community parks add walking paths and open green space along the river. For those who want variety beyond the farmstead itself, the surrounding Treasure Valley offers golf, wine touring, and small-town recreation within easy reach. 17
INCOME OPPORTUNIT Y Apple Ridge Farmstead offers multiple avenues for income generation, supported by existing infrastructure. Approximately 10+ acres of gravity fed irrigation water rights, together with an additional 11.6± acres of groundwater rights, create opportunities for row crops, hay, pasture grass for grazing, orchard production, or other agricultural uses. Existing livestock facilities provide flexibility for grazing and small-scale livestock operations, while the walk-in cooler supports direct-to-market sales and agricultural product storage. The registered private runway and scenic Snake River setting add another layer of opportunity, creating potential for agritourism, a farmor ranch-based guest experience, or a guided hunting-and-fishing operation. Few properties offer this combination of agricultural utility, recreational appeal, and private air access in one package.

AREA HISTORY Fruitland traces its roots to an 1897 homestead planted with apple orchards, and that agricultural identity still defines the community today, reflected in its longtime nickname, the Big Apple of Idaho. The town sits near the point where the Oregon Trail once crossed the Snake River, placing the property within a stretch of Idaho tied directly to the westward migration that shaped the region. Payette County’s farming heritage runs deep, with a 2022 agricultural census recording over 570 farms across more than 170,000 acres countywide, a significant share of it irrigated, underscoring just how established the area is for serious agricultural operations.
