Free live webinar · Relocating to Eastern Idaho
Moving to Idaho for acreage? Start here.
This free live webinar is for anyone relocating to Eastern Idaho for acreage, a small farm, a horse property, or room to spread out. I will walk through the questions that decide whether a piece of land will actually work for you: water rights, wells, irrigation, what to check before you buy, and how county zoning and building rules shape what you can do on the property.
I am Melissa Holm, a real estate agent with Hillside Realty, brokered by eXp Realty, and I live on a farm east of Idaho Falls. Rural water, wells, and acreage are my daily life, not a specialty I read about, so this is plain talk from the ground up.
Webinar date and time
Date and time: coming soon
I have not set the date yet, and I will email you the moment I do. Everyone who registers gets the invite, the link to the live session, and the recording after.
What you will learn
The same ground I cover with relocating buyers every week.
This is the material I work through one on one with families moving to Eastern Idaho, in plain language, with no sales pitch at the end. You will leave knowing what to look at first, what to ask for in writing, and where the surprises usually hide.
How to evaluate water rights, wells, and irrigation
What a water right actually is, what its priority date and place of use mean, how wells and irrigation systems are documented, and the red flags a relocating buyer should never skip.
What to check before buying acreage
The checks that separate a working farm or horse property from a money pit: soils, access, easements, septic, winter roads, fencing, and utilities, with the official records that back each answer.
How zoning and building rules work in Eastern Idaho counties
Each county writes its own rules, and they differ. I will explain how zoning, minimum lot sizes, livestock rules, building permits, and agricultural exemptions work in Bonneville, Jefferson, Madison, and Bingham counties.
Practical steps for relocating to the region
The real-world sequence of a move: where to start if you are out of state, how to plan visits, what due diligence to run before you offer, and how to keep the timing realistic from first search to closing day.
Registration

Fill in the form and I will email you the moment the date is set, along with the link to the live session and the recording afterward. No payment, no obligation, and you can ask questions live at the end.
Every registrant also gets the Eastern Idaho Acreage Buyer's Checklist
The same checklist I work through with acreage buyers: water rights, canal shares, wells, septic, zoning, access, winter roads, fencing, and utilities, with the official sources for every answer. It is yours to keep whether or not you attend.
