Spanning 250 acres at the center of Mountain Home’s primary economic drivers with lots of any size available, Phase 1 of the Bennett Ranch Industrial Campus presents the premier opportunity to break into this emerging market.
Approved by the city as a flex plat, lots purchased under 25 acres have a streamlined development process as any project that falls under the flexible I1 zoning designation does not require a conditional use permit or zoning approval by the city. Receiving the building permit for I1 uses is a simple administrative across-the-counter submission of a site plan. City services are available, and the seller will provide road access and stub fiber, sewer, water, electricity, etc., to the specific lot purchased. Buyers also have the option to link green power via a nearby solar farm. With frontage on four roads and sections with rail access, the tract has key attributes for all types of mixed-use developments.
The I1 zoning designation permits a broad range of uses, including department stores, equipment dealers, hotels, offices, truck terminals, warehouses, light manufacturing, automotive repair/parts, fuel stations, restaurants, self-storage, schools, and much more. All of these are well-targeted development types to activate this transforming area.
Mountain Home is quickly rising as a prominent southeastern Idaho market. The city is supported by its proximity to Boise and many commuters opt to live here for its lower housing costs and higher quality of life, increasing the population and personal incomes. Bennett Ranch is positioned between Mountain Home Municipal Airport and Interstate 84, allowing projects to maximize their access to business and residential hubs. The largest economic facet of the city, Mountain Home Air Force Base, which houses over 4,800 service members, civilians, and government contractors, is only 15 minutes away. This proximity to the military base opens endless potential to build supportive developments as the base has indicated its desire to the city for complementing establishments. Mountain Home also boasts a strategic location for regional transport. Truckers can reach Seattle, Denver, Bozeman, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Billings, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, and more in a one- to two-day drive.
