2 acre residential building lot located just outside of Mackay, Idaho city limits.

4415 Cedar Springs Rd

Killer views.

Easy access.

Outdoor paradise. Hunting, fishing, ATVing, backpacking, skiing, snowmachining, mountaineering, hang gliding, all a short drive away.

Mackay, Idaho population = 550-ish.

Custer County, Idaho population = 5,000

1.75 hour drive from nearest airport (Idaho Falls, ID)

Restaurants, post office, grocery store, hardware store, auto parts, and fuel stations just minutes away.

Underground electric at the lot (Lost River Electric)

Well and Septic would be needed.

Covenants are generous (minimum square footage, needs to be stick-built, no pigs or chickens)

We bought this a year ago with plans of building, but last winter was a record breaker in Mackay, and the wife has changed her mind.

$65k

PM with questions

Mackay has been discovered.

From ages 5-18 I spent most of my hunting seasons near there.

A person could have bought half of the Main Street businesses for $60k.

I always wanted to move back.....and we were on track to do so........until the wif changed her mind.

That is cheap in relation to most of Montana! Around here the market is $60K plus per acre for hay field lots.

I was in Mackay this summer. Great spot- hard place to live if you are raising a family. You need more than 2 acres if you are gonna work it to make a living. Probably need at least 200.

60k an acre in town and I would be on for 15 around here!

300- 350k an acre is average for in town. You can buy 5 ac for 350k out in the weeds. Will need to add a well and power. Probably another 40k, probably have to cut in your own road, etc

Yep, winters in Mackay can be rough and last winter was a rough one. The elevation is 5900 ft and even in a normal year they get a lot of wind and snow there.

Idaho has been discovered, there is no more bargain land for sale anywhere in the state that I am aware of. Most of the Mackay area has been subdivided into small acreages which is reflected in the higher prices since that is what is in demand.

Mackey is right in a winter weather pattern that produces a lot of snow. We farm 45 miles north of there and get less than a quarter of what Mackey gets.

Summer is drier than a popcorn fart. Better have your water rights figured out or you’re going to have 2 acres of dust.

A person would have to travel North to the Salmon river drainage or to southern Idaho.

I've never seen or heard chukars around Mackay. My info may be dated.
