Other improvements include a four-bedroom manager’s residence, a custom-built wooden training/breaking pin, equipment storage buildings, and a large shop building that supports various land management operations and hunting activities on the property.
The ranch holds excellent senior surface water rights from the Boise River and Sand Hollow Creek to irrigate approximately 320 acres of cropland, horse pasture, and wildlife food plots. The Parma area is a coveted destination for waterfowl and upland bird hunters from around the region. Utilizing multiple wildlife water rights, the owners have developed extensive habitat on the ranch that attracts and holds a multitude of ducks and geese through the season, as well as quail, pheasants, and wild turkeys.
