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, Nevada, 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. Trent and Cecile have two children, a son Parker and a daughter Airey.
Rarely does a mountain property with the scale, beauty, and diversity of Iron Mine Ranch become available for purchase this close to Sun Valley. Lying along the southern flank of the Pioneer Mountains 50 miles from the airport in Hailey, the property is a virtually untouched wildlife and recreational paradise, with verdant meadows, forested hillsides, and several stunning wild canyons where five creeks join to form Fish Creek.
The ranch encompasses 5,308± deeded acres and includes three parcels surrounded by the Salmon-Challis National Forest totaling 160± acres. Collectively referred to as Sandy’s Meadows, these parcels lie just north of the main ranch at the headwaters of Trail Creek and represent the splendor of the Pioneer Mountains high country. An additional 160± acre tract adjoining Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land lies south of the main ranch within the East Fork Fish Creek drainage. The ranch is undeveloped but offers numerous secluded, off-grid building sites with expansive views of the surrounding Pioneers landscape.
Encompassing the ranch are miles of largely roadless, wilderness-quality public lands offering solitude, endless recreation, and plentiful wildlife, including elk, mule deer, antelope, moose, upland game birds, and a host of non-game species. Given its size, the ranch qualifies for two landowner appreciation permits for controlled big game hunts in highly coveted unit 49. In addition, the ranch offers excellent summer grazing resources for cattle and sheep and includes two adjoining BLM sheep grazing permits and two state of Idaho sheep grazing leases.
Iron Mine Ranch is part of a large, undeveloped landscape with exceptional public lands and over 95,000 acres of conserved private lands. A series of conservation easements cover the ranch and allow for a broad set of agricultural, recreational, and residential uses.
