Location:Swan Valley Overlook is located in Bonneville County, Idaho, in the southeastern region of the state within the upper Snake
River plain. Idaho Falls, the nearest metropolitan area is a 45-minute drive from the ranch and provides a commercial
airport and city conveniences. Swan Valley, a small gateway community to Teton Valley, Idaho and Alpine, Wyoming, is
a 30-minute drive east offering basic conveniences and access to the 16,000-acre Palisades Reservoir recreational area.
Jackson Hole is found just over a one-hour drive from the property and Salt Lake City is approximately 3 hours away.

Acreage:This property consists of 26.08 acres within the Garden Creek Wilderness Ranch Subdivision. The home is located on
Lot 8, Block 1 at the southern-most edge of the subdivision with end-of-the-road privacy and dramatic unobstructed
views. Additionally, the adjacent 18.38-acre lot to the north is being offered for sale and would add a nice buffer with
protection of the northern view corridor. Access to the nearby national forest is a recorded private right-of-way easement
for all residents within the Garden Creek Wilderness Ranch subdivision.
Improvements:This custom-built 4,767 sqft, Yellowstone log home is
ideally located, overlooking nearly 7 miles of the South
Fork of the Snake River as it winds its way through the
Conant Valley. The layout of this home was well designed
capturing magnificent views from almost every room. This
4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home features a large master suite,
large great room, gourmet kitchen, and finished basement.
The home was built in 2004 using quality materials and
systems. A large east-facing deck just a few strides from
the kitchen and dining area is ideal for entertaining family
on a summer evening. A unique feature of the home is the
single log that rises vertically through the home from the
basement to the loft area providing the center pillar for
custom-made stair treads leading to the basement and loft
areas of the home.

Nearby Live Water: The South Fork of the Snake River is a year-round tailwater fishery that flows
out of Palisades Dam on the border of Wyoming and Idaho. The diversity of
hatches, both aquatic and terrestrial, exceeds other rivers of the West, and
gives the South Fork the reputation as one of the best dry fly fisheries in the
world. The river flows for 66 miles across southeastern Idaho, through high
mountain valleys, rugged canyons and broad flood plains to its confluence
with the Henry’s Fork near Menan Buttes, west of Rexburg, Idaho.
The South Fork proudly holds title to the top cutthroat fishery in the West
due to continued efforts of the Idaho Department of Fish and Game and
local agencies that recognized long ago the importance of maintaining the
native cutthroat species. Incentive programs have been established recently
to place bounties on non-native species such as the rainbow to help eliminate
the cross hybridization of the two species. These efforts have proven effective
in the management of this destination fishery.

Nearby Live Water: Wild populations of native Yellowstone
cutthroat and Snake River fine-spotted
cutthroat trout provide provoking dry fly
action year round. With a healthy population
of brown and rainbow trout ranging from 12
to 25+ inches, the South Fork is an angler’s
dream. Fishing starts with a bang in early
June during the highly sought-after salmonfly
hatch. Large 2 to 3-inch stoneflies creep out of
the depth and hatch by the thousands along
the river’s edge, bringing fish of all sizes to the
surface. The number of fish brought to the boat during this 4-week period astonishes anglers. Following this hatch, a
melting pot of diverse dry fly hatches continue to change through the end of October, plus uncountable numbers of
hoppers that tempt fate by traveling along the riverbanks.

Nearby Live Water: (C0ntinued)Live water in the immediate vicinity includes the famous
Henry’s Fork, Bitch Creek and the Fall River, all within an
hour’s drive. The Henry’s Fork River is a classic wild trout
fishery that is world-renowned for its rainbows and browns.
This fishery is constantly changing due to seasonal hatches,
providing many fantastic and nearly year-round floating and
wading opportunities. From its inception near Island Park, the
river takes on spring creek and tailwater quality through the
famous Railroad Ranch section, transitioning into freestone
canyon habitat, then to freestone, meadow river above the
Ashton Reservoir. Some anglers favor Bitch Creek, where fish
average 14 to 18 inches, while the Fall River is a healthy fishery
that in the past has received less fishing pressures than other
fisheries in the area due to the lack of commercially guided
trips. See the following websites for additional information
about the exceptional fishing in the area:
