Trent came to Hall and Hall in the spring of 2003 after spending eight years with The Idaho Nature Conservancy where, as Lands Program Director, he was responsible for overseeing the chapter’s real estate activity around the state. Trent also served as the Conservancy’s field representative for central Idaho where he worked with local communities and landowners to preserve working ranchlands and resolve natural resource conflicts. He became a partner of Hall and Hall in March 2004 and holds real estate licenses in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. A native of Virginia, Trent graduated from Woodberry Forest School and earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Hampden-Sydney College. Trent and his wife, Cecile, moved west to Idaho in 1994. Enjoyment of the outdoors is evident in Trent’s dedication to fly-fishing and upland bird hunting. Trent maintains strong ties to the southeast and is a trustee of The Duke Endowment based in Charlotte, NC and a committee member of the Josiah Charles Trent Memorial Foundation in Durham, NC. He is a current board member of the Idaho Rural Health Association and past president of the board of directors for the Wood River Land Trust and was an original board member of the Blaine County Land, Water, and Wildlife Program.

Emerald Meadows Ranch is a rare and beautiful 60± acre retreat tucked against the foothills of the Pioneer Mountains in central Idaho’s Wood River Valley just outside the community of Bellevue. Situated approximately 15 minutes from the Sun Valley airport in Hailey and 30 minutes from the amenities of Sun Valley, the property offers an exceptional combination of privacy, natural beauty, and access to one of the West’s premier mountain resort destinations.
The centerpiece of Emerald Meadows Ranch is a 9,188± square-foot, custom lodge-style owner’s residence built in 2005 and highlighted by four en suite bedrooms, a great room with floor to ceiling windows, and an expansive paver patio with an outdoor fireplace, ideal for entertaining friends and family. A short path from the patio through a serene aspen grove leads to a lighted, composite clay tennis court. Above the attached three-car garage is a private two-bedroom apartment with its own entrance, adding flexibility for guests or a caretaker. A separate 1,130± square-foot log guest cabin features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchenette, and a finished attic offering storage and sleeping space.
The ranch’s open meadows are irrigated by water diverted from Broadford Slough, a developed side channel of the nearby Big Wood River, which feeds wetlands and a secluded pond at the south end of the property. Stocked with trout over the years, the pond remains cold and clear through the summer, providing a wonderful setting for fishing, swimming, or relaxing. Water is pumped from the pond to irrigate the property’s pastures and hay fields using two irrigation rights covering up to 33± acres. With an end-of-the-road setting, the landscape is a lovely blend of open meadows, native cottonwood and aspen groves, and sweeping views of the surrounding foothills - all framed by large neighboring equestrian and estate parcels and federal lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Wildlife on the property is plentiful and includes resident elk, mule deer, and the occasional moose.
Complementary improvements include a three-stall horse barn with tack, vet, and storage rooms, a covered warm-up area, four pens with loafing sheds, a wash rack, an outdoor riding arena, a small hay shed, and an equipment storage structure. With furnishings included, Emerald Meadows Ranch is a complete, move-in-ready retreat that captures the authentic character of the Wood River Valley while offering the refined amenities of a luxury ranch property.
