Grant County: The population of the county is about 7,000. It does not change much
because of it’s seclusion and really is quite a ways from freeways. You
are about 3 ½ hours from Boise and about 3 hours from Bend. Contrary
to most other counties, you are not in an adversarial position with the
county government. I think we have a lot more common sense here!!
General
Observations: This home is being offered because the owner wants to be
nearer his children. He has done a beautiful job with the landscaping of flowers, trees, and garden areas. The view is really fantastic because you have an almost 360 degree range. It is clean and neat. It will get warm in the summer but is never enough that they needed AC. The owner sees wildlife all of the time and relishes just the quietness of the home. There will be a few appliances to come with it along with an older D-4 Cat. The county has a new hospital along with helicopter emergency sevice available to Bend. It is a center for hunting in the fall and fishing in the spring.
