Ranch, Farm and Home Appraisals in Howe, Idaho

Howe and the Little Lost River Valley

• Howe is an unincorporated community on Idaho State Highway 33, about 18 miles northeast of Arco.
• Local history says settlers asked to name the town Hawley, but officials turned it down as too close to Hailey and suggested Howe instead. The first post office opened in 1883.
• The Little Lost River runs through an arid farming valley between the Lost River Range and the Lemhi Range, then sinks into the ground a few miles past Howe.
• The Little Lost River Highway begins in Howe and runs north up the valley.

Rural Land and Ranch Property Near Howe

Property around Howe is mostly irrigated hay ground, pasture and ranch headquarters with homes, barns and corrals. Parcels tend to be large, and a single sale can include several kinds of land.

Because sales in the valley are rare, comparables may come from farther out, and they need careful adjustment for irrigation, water rights, improvements and access. Value in a place like Howe depends as much on the land as on the house.
