Real Estate Appraisals in Arco, Idaho
Arco sits where three highways meet at the edge of the Lost River country. Dixon Appraisal Services provides home, land and estate appraisals for owners, buyers and lenders in Arco and across Butte County.
Arco at a Glance
- Arco is the county seat and largest city in Butte County, with 879 residents in the 2020 census.
- In July 1955 Arco became the first community in the world lit by electricity generated solely by nuclear power, from the BORAX-III reactor at the nearby National Reactor Testing Station.
- Number Hill rises above town, and Butte County High School classes have painted their graduation years on it since 1920.
- The city lies along the Big Lost River at about 5,309 feet, where US-20, US-26 and US-93 come together.
Property in and Around Arco
Arco has older in-town homes on city lots, businesses along the highway, and irrigated ground and rangeland spreading out from the Big Lost River. Many owners here hold a house plus outbuildings or a few acres on the edge of town.
Sales are few in a town of under 900 people, so each comparable carries real weight. A good appraisal pulls from Arco and the wider Lost River valley and adjusts for things like lot size, shop space and water rights instead of borrowing numbers from Idaho Falls.

Arco Appraisal Questions
Can you appraise a home on acreage outside Arco?
Yes. We appraise homes on acreage throughout the Lost River area, valuing the house, outbuildings and land together and noting any water rights or irrigation that affect value.
My Arco home is older. Does that hurt the appraisal?
Age alone does not set value. We look at condition, updates and how the home compares with similar older homes that have sold in Butte County.
How do I order an appraisal in Arco?
Call (208) 520-7065 and tell us the address and the purpose of the appraisal. We will set a time to visit the property and give you a clear fee up front.
