PROPERTY DESCRIPTION - The Brogan Road Farm offering is for irrigated cropland, a 4-bedroom home with beautiful yard with a detached 2-car garage and an older milking barn, plus equipment barn and two silage pits. The main home is a 4-bed (or 3-bed and office), 2.5 bath home of almost 2,000 square feet with a nice all-purpose or family room and a great wrap-around deck. In addition, there is year-round live water canal on the north side of the property. The land is level, which is great for irrigation. The irrigated fields have grown both alfalfa hay and corn in years past. One half of the irrigated is being rested this year with the other half in alfalfa.

The irrigation water rights are for 25 shares as a stockholder in the Reed Ditch Company. 25 shares equates to 25 miners inches or 25 acre-feet of water. The annual cost for water is $350.00 with a $100 fee to transfer to new buyer. There is Domestic water right 65-5484 for the well providing water to the home & yard (0.5 acres for gardening). The diversion rate is 0.04cfs (or 1.2 AFA) priority date 4/1945. Being prior to 1987, there are no records of the well depth, static level, or volume/flow rate.

The Brogan Farm is well suited to both growing either hay (alfalfa or grass hay) or crops such as corn and running livestock year-round. The current owner has his livestock on other properties, so it has been without livestock for a period. However, with year-round water on the north side it is ideally suited for someone wanting both livestock and crops. There are two silage pits, which could be very handy for composting. The property is zoned A2 Rural Transitional Agriculture.

BROKERS COMMENT

The Brogan Farm is a nice complement of ag land and lifestyle. It offers the best of two worlds: a country lifestyle with rural neighbors to befriend, while the other realizes the benefits of reasonable access to city amenities. Only 40 minutes to the Boise Valley, it is easily accessible, yet private and remote enough for those longing for a simpler lifestyle. In a valley of wonderful ranching families, this is an incredible opportunity for someone looking for a place to enjoy family, friends & livestock.
