"I have hunted and fished in the Vale area for years. I know many folks who work and live in this area. I like the view lots which are on haul road over looking the valley and town of Vale. I would like to purchase a lot in this area and am waiting for the owners to list them so I can build a home ( have asked the property owners and they are not wanting to sell these building lots at this time). This area is near an 80 acre BLM parcel which has lots of wildlife and great walking area. There are nice areas for hunting pheasant & deer nearby. The schools in the area are very good and employment is primarily govt. and agricultural base. The quality of life is high here. This is a good area for family and retirement. The town has the essentials: nice grocery store, hardware/lumber, drug store with pharmacy, medical clinic and a wonderful assisted living facility with a few ok restuarants. The town of Vale has recently made some downtown improvents making it more visually appealing but new businesses have a hard time making it here because of the proximity to better shopping in Ontario (15 miles) and Boise area (50 miles). It would be hard to live here if you were single...more family orientated. The county has more than 75% in federal ownership which I view as a plus for my recreational opportunties."
