Property description

Home to one of the most successful thoroughbred breeding operations in the western United States, Parma Lodge and Stables is a reputation equestrian, farming, and wildlife property that reflects the very best of what this region has to offer. A remarkable set of residential and equestrian improvements that combine elements of a classic Kentucky horse farm with western sensibilities are the centerpiece of the property. The beautifully landscaped and manicured lodge compound encompasses approximately 20 acres and features a magnificent main residence with four bedrooms and almost 9,000 square feet of living space, as well as an elegant 18-stall horse barn. A series of interconnected, year-round lakes separate the lodge from the barn and add to the beauty and serenity of the setting.

The Boise River, lined with cottonwood trees and home to abundant wildlife, courses along the ranch’s south and west boundaries on its way to the Snake River six miles downstream. The majority of the ranch consists of sprinkler-irrigated horse pastures and flood-irrigated cropland used to raise grain corn. The ranch is located in the heart of Idaho’s finest waterfowl and upland bird hunting, and numerous habitat areas on the property that include shallow ponds, wetlands, food plots, and extensive brushy cover offer premier hunting opportunities for ducks, geese, quail, pheasants, and wild turkey.

The property is bordered by other agricultural holdings and serviced by US Highway 95, which runs north-south along the property’s east border. Approximately 60 acres of additional cropland, pasture, and hunting land lie along the east side of the highway directly across from the main portion of the property. The property features painted, wood board fencing that is maintained in top-notch condition. An internal network of paved and gravel roads offer convenient access to all parts of the ranch.

Home Features

Located in a meticulously maintained, park-like setting overlooking a series of interconnected, year-round lakes, this beautifully crafted residence is the focal point of the lodge compound and has been an important gathering point for the owners and their family, friends, and guests since it was built in 2001. The lodge consists of two stories and approximately 9,000 square feet of living space. Adding to its aesthetic charm is a third floor viewing area encompassed by a large, circular cupola that offers 360-degree views of the ranch. The lodge represents the highest quality design and construction and is accentuated by various types of natural wood used throughout the interior.
The main floor of the lodge features a formal living room with a vaulted ceiling, large windows, and a wood-burning fireplace. This lovely, light-filled space transitions seamlessly to other parts of the residence. On the east side of the living room is a gourmet kitchen with breakfast nook, formal dining room, large den/family room with a wood-burning fireplace, and mudroom/hunting room with a full bathroom. A large entertainment room is located on the west side of the living room and includes a wooden bar and media viewing area. The main floor opens onto a large patio and outdoor entertainment area that overlooks the series of lakes and features a hot tub/spa, fire pit, and built-in barbeque.
The second floor of the lodge is accessed by two individual stairwells (one from the living room and the other from the kitchen) and features a master bedroom with a gas fireplace, the master bathroom with a separate steam shower and bathtub, three guest bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, an office, sitting room, exercise room, and laundry room. Rooms on the second floor open onto individual porches that provide sweeping views of the lodge compound.
The lodge also features a two-car garage that is connected via a large porte-cochère. Surrounding the lodge is well-tended landscaping, in-ground sprinkler systems, and underground electrical service.

Lot Features

Parma Lodge and Stables consists of 450 deeded acres, more or less. The lodge compound encompasses approximately 20 acres and features the lodge and horse barn. In general terms, approximately two-thirds of the property are comprised of irrigated cropland and individually fenced irrigated pastures, while the remaining portion of the ranch is made up of the Boise River corridor, associated riparian and wetland areas, wildlife habitat, and irrigated food plots.

Horse Facility Features

Built in 2000, the 12,000 square-foot horse barn is modeled after the finest barns in Kentucky with a style and design consistent with that of the lodge. The barn is located north of the lodge on the opposite side of the lakes and features 18 large stalls, a foaling stall, wash rack, vet room, feed room, break room with bathroom, show room, manager’s office, and a large reception area that includes an office and bathroom. A porte-cochère is located at the entrance to the reception area, and double doors on the east and west sides of the barn allow easy access to the stalls and working areas. On the west side of the barn is a custom-designed, wooden, round breaking/training pin. Adjacent to the main entrance to the barn is shaded outdoor entertainment area with a built-in barbeque ideal for large gatherings.
The ranch offers an excellent set of operational improvements that support farming, equestrian, and hunting activities. Northwest of the lodge and horse barn is a large shop building, an open-sided equipment storage building, and an enclosed structure that houses the ranch’s fuel tanks and pumps. The shop building includes a small apartment with a bathroom, a bird cleaning room, attached dog kennels, and a large space used to store hunting equipment. A second open-sided equipment storage building and materials storage site is located toward the northwest corner of the property close.
The property features a network of interior paved and gravel roads, excellent wood panel fencing, buried utilities, cellular and internet service, and well-maintained irrigation infrastructure that includes open ditches, buried mainline, two Zimmatic center pivots, and an extensive buried, “pop-up” sprinkler system.
