Tucked in the foothills of the Caribou National Forest, just outside of Montpelier, these gently rolling hills provide an off-the-grid rural development opportunity. Enjoy views of the mountains, valley, and Bear Lake in the distance, as well as wildlife viewing from your porch. Since it is surrounded by private agricultural land, the hunting pressure on wildlife is limited. East of Highway 30 with seasonal access off Banks Valley Road, this property is zoned agricultural and could be split into forty-acre parcels or larger to create homesteads with tillable dry farmland to cultivate and/or graze. The property consists of two contiguous parcels with approximately fifty-five +- acres lying north of Banks Valley Road and the remainder south of the road, providing approximately half a mile of road frontage on both sides of Banks Valley Road. Since power is not available close by, each build would require solar power or portable generators, and a well would need to be drilled for culinary water, stock water, and to water a garden of up to half an acre. Self-sufficiency and conservation are key when living off the grid in a rural town. Experience the lure of the pioneer days, ranching, farming, and living off the land.

Caribou National Forest, Cache National Forest, and BLM ground are close by with access to thousands of miles of dirt roads and trails to explore big game and upland game hunting, cruising in ATVs, mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, and backpacking. Winter access requires a snowmachine and opens the door to a magical winter wonderland to explore cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, fat tire biking, and snowmobiling. The nearby Bear River and Bear Lake offer great fishing and boating opportunities as well.

Bear Lake State Park and Marina and Bear Lake West Golf Course are a short distance away and offer four seasons of recreation, golfing, boating, swimming, sunbathing on sandy beaches, fishing, and ice fishing, The nearby Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge encompasses 18,000 acres and provides valuable habitat for waterfowl and colonial nesting waterbirds. The refuge is a place where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the tens of thousands of birds that use the refuge as a migratory stopover point or vital nesting site.
