This home is an original historic homestead from back in 1907. It has been modernized with a few remodels and additions. The Farm Cottage has seen many people and many changes as farmers and homesteaders have brought magic to the valley. The name "Magic Valley" is a reference to the construction of Milner and Minidoka Dams and a series of irrigation canal systems on the Snake River during the first decade of the 20th century. In a short time these projects "magically" transformed what had been considered a nearly uninhabitable area into some of the most productive farmland in the northwestern U.S. Many cities and towns in the region were founded between 1900 and 1910 as a direct result of these projects.
The present owners lived in it for 16 years while six children joined their family there. They always called it their cottage. It has lots of love, tears, and memories for them. We hope you feel at home in "the Farm Cottage".
