With expansive indoor/outdoor space and direct Big Wood River access, this property embodies the best of Idaho living. Nestled along 575 feet of river frontage, this classic farmhouse features a 5 bedroom main house with a 3 bedroom ADU above a 3 bay double deep pass through garage - ideal for guests, extended family or rental income. Ample space for a car collection, horses or recreational toys. Situated on 2.32 acres along one of the most coveted stretches of the Big Wood River, 15 Lower Broadford Road offers 575 feet of direct river frontage -- a figure that speaks for itself in a valley where genuine waterfront is increasingly rare. But what elevates this property above nearly every other riverfront offering in the Wood River Valley is not just the length of that frontage. It is what stands between the home and the water: an extraordinary expanse of open lawn that flows along the river's edge, made for summer gatherings, children running toward the water, a morning fly cast before breakfast, or simply the pleasure of watching the Big Wood move past as the mountains hold the horizon beyond. The property sits on a river straightaway -- where the current flows smoothly past without the lateral erosive forces that attack bend properties. This is a structural advantage that protects your bank and preserves your landscape for generations to come. MAIN RESIDENCE Surrounded by a canopy of mature trees, including apple trees, the single-story main house offers the ease and accessibility of one-level living without sacrificing any sense of grandeur. At 3,700 square feet, it is a substantial home -- five bedrooms, four full baths, a bonus room, and a loft office perched above the primary suite -- all wrapped in the quiet of a true rural setting. The kitchen and living room are anchored by beautiful wide-plank oak hardwood floors, warm and characterful. Brand new carpet throughout the remaining rooms delivers a fresh, move-in-ready feel. A brand new water heater means the essential infrastructure is already handled. The teak deck extends around the front and side of the home, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow that makes the landscape feel like a natural extension of the living space. Evenings here -- under Idaho's star-filled sky with the river audible in the distance and the mountains framing every view -- are exactly what people move to the Wood River Valley for. ADU & GARAGE Above the three-bay, double-deep pass-through garage sits a complete three-bedroom, two-bath accessory dwelling unit, freshly updated with new LVP flooring and new carpet throughout. Whether used for extended family, long-term rental income, visiting guests, or a caretaker, the ADU functions as a fully independent living space and is a flexible income-generating asset that few single properties in this price range can offer. A separate two-plus-car garage with included gym equipment rounds out the picture. With six-plus bays of total garage capacity, this property accommodates a car collection, horse trailer, boat, snowmobiles, and every other toy Idaho life demands. THE HOMESTEAD For those who have imagined a property that produces as beautifully as it lives, the grounds here are a homesteader's dream made real. A climate-resistant greenhouse -- engineered for Idaho's colder seasons and equipped with two independent heaters -- extends growing season deep into the cold months. Established raised garden beds are already in place and ready to tend from the first season. A charming she-shed adds versatile studio or storage space, completing a full suite of outbuildings without compromising the sweeping openness of the grounds. RECREATION & SURROUNDINGS Step off the property and Idaho opens up in every direction. BLM lands surrounding the Bellevue corridor provide direct access to endless miles of trail -- mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, and open exploration -- right from your back door. The world-class ski terrain of Sun Valley is a short drive north. Silver Creek Preserve, one of the premier fly-fishing destinations on the continent, lies just to the south. Howard Preserve and its river trails are minutes away. Hailey's restaurants, airport, and services are close enough to be convenient and far enough away to leave the peace undisturbed. This is the rare property that requires nothing before you can begin enjoying it -- and that will only deepen in value, both financially and personally, the longer you hold it.
