The property has so much history. Larry purchased the 16 acres in 1978 as nothing but a field. His dream was to raise Arabian Horses, so that is what the property was set up to do and he did just that, very successfully. We did convert a few acres into a Market Garden a few years ago and started Kraay's Market Garden, you can find us online. We would love to share our place with you!

Welcome to Brasil Beef high desert pasture 🏜️ 🌵
Our property is 4 miles from BLM, 5 miles from the Mammoth caves and 10 miles from the Ice Caves. You may be greeted by horses, cattle or dogs on our property, and it's quite possible that you will encounter snakes 🐍 and hear coyotes at night (light sleepers take this into account). We do not have designated areas but, please don’t block the turn around area to the far south, please park wherever you desire, walk your route as this virgin ground has many rocks. 🪨 If leveling is an issue & you need to block the road, let’s verify we have no other campers coming.
There is a runoff river that runs through the property in the early spring but, rarely has water, however, it has amazing lava rock (similar to Black Magic Canyon which isn’t far away); We also like to use it for campfires! Do not drive into the river bottom unless you have 4WD.
Please reach out with questions and we look forward to your visit! Check out all of our extras! We raise Wagyu beef & offer liver dog treats, sourdough bread, we often have dozens of eggs on hand from a local chicken farmer and I make tallow lotion with a dear friend! I am happy to help you source anything you may be interested in while in our little community!
🚌-40ft+ Class A motorhome, traveling East down the 520N you need to turn left on the gravel road (North 250E) and right on 670N-at the stop sign turn right on 3 mile rd E and it will connect you to 520N where you will turn left into the property as the gate is angled to enter this way.

Idaho oh Idaho. You never disappoint. The Salmon-Challis National Forest represents this flawlessly. Rugged mountains give way to untamed rivers; granite peaks gaze over sapphire alpine lakes; whitewater rafters cascade through rapids; and each day’s quest can lead to a different trail in the epic Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, which happens to be the largest contiguous wilderness area in the continental United States! Rugged and remote, this country offers millions of acres filled with breathtaking views from gravel roads, enough fish to stock your freezer all winter, and groves of cedar trees where you can set up your tent and peer out to the ocean of stars. At night listen to the coyotes call, the owls hoot, and the clink of cans as you toast to this recreational heaven. Idaho of Idaho, you are so much more than just a potato!

Challis Field Office offers wild lands, wild views, and wild adventures for even the pickiest of explorers. Hiking the trails to the scenic overlook of Mt. Caleb is sure to get you going, or pop on down to the Big Lost River for some shore-fire relaxing, rafting, and fishing. Big game hunters and anglers are going to go bananas over the opportunities here! The crystal clear Salmon River Canyon in particular offers trout and salmon fishing that will make you giddy! This is THE place for that record catch. Offroaders and history buffs will dig the ghost town of Bayshore, but the real wild time is your comfy sleeping bag around the fire at one of Challis’ campgrounds at the end of your adventure filled day.

You could say Boise National Forest is in the tri-forest area. It is surrounded on all sides by Payette, Salmon-Challis, and Sawtooth National Forests, it is situated conveniently close to both urban fun in Boise, and limitless wilderness adventures everywhere else. Alpine tundra is dotted with evergreen forest in the green rolling hills here, topped with snow, and anchored by sparkling valley waterways. The Payette River is great for rafting, while Banks Beach and Beehive Bend are just some of the prime access points on the forest’s 250 lakes and reservoirs (Arrowrock Reservoir has surprisingly primo salmon fishing for central Idaho).
Hikers will find 500 trails, including some that lead to 360-panoramic views at fire lookouts. The ambitious should try 10,000-foot high Trinity Mountain, while more liesurely trekkers will get just as good a view at Silver Creek. As if that’s not all enough to keep you busy, there are also endless mountain biking trails, including a scenic route along Shafer Butte. You’ll have your hands full at this intersection of so many great parks!

Sweet and simple. Beautiful sunset! Enjoyed to sounds of coyotes and sand hill cranes. Able to have a campfire in the grass pasture and porta-potti was clean! Those are my priorities! Unfortunately, the acreage is no longer a flower or vegetable source, but still the horses…..

We loved this serene oasis!! Brittany is an outstanding host. So very kind and gracious. Quick to respond. We love the horses, sunset, the neat lava bed and just the peaceful vibe Brittany’s home place conveys. We definitely will be back. MUST try her sourdough bread! Fabulous !! Her tallow cream is so so nice too. She met us the day we left to bring us beef we purchased. We look forward to trying. She also gifted us w homemade cinnamon rolls. Yummm!! Last but not least sweet Bruce her adorable dog who ran to meet us at the gate and stayed w us till w were settled in was an absolute sweetie!! Cannot wait to come back!

Easy to find and beautiful! We were greeted by a friendly host dog who we loved having around. We got a beautiful sunset too! Summertime evenings (like everywhere) bring mosquitoes, but with the right clothing and after dark they weren’t a problem.

Brittany was great, she made the extra effort to make sure I had what I needed. The spot had more songbird sounds than anywhere I have ever been and falling asleep to their songs was a treat. I hope I can come back there soon.

Great place to stay. We were there in the winter, so it was less open than would normally be the case in the summer, but a nice place to stay with nice peeps. We will be back when traveling that way.
