3870 Coho Dr, Island Park, ID 83429

Positioned at the terminus of a half-mile private paved drive, this owner-commissioned mountain residence occupies a rare 55± acre holding in the geographic heart of Island Park. Flat, timbered, and buffered by adjacency to the Buffalo River corridor and the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, parcels of this size and continuity, particularly with this level of privacy and access, have become functionally unobtainable. Constructed in 1997 by the same craftsmen responsible for the iconic Henry’s Fork Lodge, the residence reflects a period when large-scale Western timber construction was executed without compromise. Massive beams anchor the structure, while the interior is defined by proportion, permanence, and materials intended to endure for decades rather than cycles of trend. The home offers approximately 7,000 finished square feet, three bedrooms, four and one-half baths, and three elevated walk-out patios that extend living space into the surrounding forest canopy. A wood-fired bread oven, a new boiler system with in-floor heat, and an attached two-car garage support year-round use. The setting lies within the greater Yellowstone ecosystem, surrounded by a concentration of world-class fisheries that includes Henry’s Lake, the Henry’s Fork of the Snake River, Island Park Reservoir, the Madison, Gallatin, Yellowstone, Teton, Firehole, and the South Fork of the Snake. Access to these waters places the property within one of North America’s most enduring recreational landscapes, defined as much by stewardship as by opportunity. Wildlife movement through the property and surrounding corridor is constant and unpressured, supporting controlled elk hunts, including muzzleloader and any-weapon seasons; trophy mule deer draws; a controlled moose hunt; and a high-density black bear unit. Whitetail hunting occurs both on the property and immediately beyond its boundaries. The land itself balances dense timber with open native grass meadows and a restrained footprint of irrigated landscaping. Groomed snowmobile access connects directly to over 950 miles of trail, with seamless links into Montana and Wyoming. Historically, the home has been owner-occupied for roughly half the year, meticulously maintained, and never used as a rental, thereby preserving both its condition and its character.
