Property Description

Commercial size GEOTHERMAL WELL!!! This 132 degrees artesian well, meaning no pump, has great mineral benefits and is capable of producing close to 800 gallons a minute. This seemingly unlimited water source can provide an amazing hot springs property with an Olympic size pool and smaller hot spring pools with different temperatures. The 3132 sq. ft. 6-bedroom 2-bathroom home is heated with geothermal, the 30x40 shop has geothermal in the floor, and two greenhouses are plumbed with geothermal water. Consistently leaving a modest electric bill less than $100 a month, saving $1000's of dollars in utilities bills each year. Today's cost for this well would easily be $250K. The land is next to Givens Hot Springs and shares the same aquifer which has beneficial mineral healing properties. Also by Sunrise Skypark airport. A second cold-water well will provide you with all your domestic needs. Looking for a MULTI-GENERATIONAL property? Listing consists of 3 individual buildable parcels. Keep all of them or sell one. Want to live OFF GRID? This property gives you a great start with fruit trees, greenhouses, and geothermal water. This Property is located across the road from the Snake River, backs up to open space, and has beautiful views of the Owyhee Mountains. Wonderful place to have a hobby farm, investment property or both. Bring your ideas and turn this property into your paradise.
