River’s Edge is accessed year round via paved Hwy 14, just 55 miles from Grangeville, Idaho.

If you want waterfront property, these lots each contain 50 to 200′ each of American River frontage.

Municipal sewer, power and phone is available for hookup at each lot.

Black Swan Development prepped this lovely property last summer and fall 2007 by clearing the lot of old debris and rocks, and moved in several inches of topsoil. The topsoil has been seeded and will produce an attractive grass covering the entire property, once winter decides to give up. Black Swan also planted over 100 pines and fir trees on the property, and lined the entire perimeter with attractive 3 rail fencing. Stands of timber on the west side of the river are home to abundant wildlife, often scene ducking down to the river for a drink. Elk, White Tail Deer, Bear, Moose and a host of bird life as well as other Big Game species, can be glimpsed in this semi remote region.

Rivers’ Edge is one of those properties that you cannot miss.  Set against a backdrop of Elk City Idaho National Forest lands, these unique waterfront lots are EASY to access and provide a great landing for you and your friends.

All but one lot in Rivers’ Edge development are vacant lots with American River frontage.  Lot 5 however, has alot more to offer.   In addition to the American River frontage, a fine custom cedar sided cabin, approximately 1600 Sq.

When the weather provides for fairer temps, you’ll enjoy the Elk that meander down to the river to drink, and FISHERMEN will love the thought of spawning salmon and steelhead making their way to the river within a stones throw of your back porch.  From family gatherings to friends hunting and fishing, this cabin is one to be treasured.

Take Hwy 14 along the South Fork of the Clearwater River from Grangeville to Elk City, 55 miles on a road that is accessible year round, and plowed daily when snow falls.  The scenery is breathtaking, and the fishing spots numerous.  Hope you’ll make it to Elk City when the weather clears.  Call Mary Mangold at 208-983-7602 for details or stop at our Windermere real estate office at 320 East Main Street in Grangeville, Idaho.

Sue and I drove up to Elk City Idaho area to tend to some real estate listings.  It was a perfect day of adventure, with blue skies and frosty clean snow putting a sparkle on the landscape.

We departed from Grangeville around 8:45am, heading down Mount Idaho Grade to Hwy 14 along the South Fork of the Clearwater River.  Its a beautiful 55 mile drive, any time of year, and the Ford Explorer with studded tires was an excellent vehicle for our January road trip.

Turning onto Red River Rd, just past the old Bennett Mill site,  held the promise of a new listing.  Galena creek meanders through the property where it meets with Red River, a frozen ribbon through the giant meadows of the Red River area.   This beautiful family size log home on the right side of the road perches itself at the edge of a beautiful landscape of pure wilderness as far as the eye can see.  

The county plows Red River Road daily making winter access a breeze.    Year round recreation is the key to enjoying the Red River area.   Snowmobiling, ATVing, hiking, biking, cross country skiing, photography and wildlife observation.  You won’t find shopping malls, Starbucks coffee joints, nor much of a cell signal here, deep in the heart of the north central Idaho wilderness.  What you will find is abundant wildlife and panoramic views as far as the eye can see.  Neighbors include Moose and Elk in your yard, birds of all varieties, and world class fishing for cutthroat, steelhead and salmon.
