Bellevue: a Wood River mining town that kept its old character

Bellevue grew up fast after 1880, when the lead-silver mines of the Wood River Valley became practical to work, and it became a permanent industrial and commercial center for them. It lost the fight for regional political leadership to a railroad town five miles up the valley, but that left Bellevue with more of its early buildings intact than most Wood River mining towns. The Bellevue Historic District, on the National Register, keeps a cross-section of the original town plat. Today Bellevue is a residential town in the valley, with the Big Wood River along its west side.

Bellevue sale considerations

Historic houses. The National Register nomination describes 1880s homes built of frame, clapboard or horizontal logs, on deep, narrow lots shaded by cottonwoods. Houses that old often have settling foundations, old wiring and little insulation. We buy them anyway, as they are.

The Big Wood River floodplain. The Wood River Land Trust notes that the Big Wood River Atlas found the reach next to Bellevue has the second-largest FEMA floodplain width on the river. Some landowners there spent tens of thousands of dollars on erosion damage after the 2017 floods. A side-channel restoration project aims to improve flood conveyance. If your property is near the river, check FEMA's map and tell us about any flooding history.

Deed-restricted homes. Some Wood River Valley homes are community housing with resale caps and buyer rules set through the Blaine County Housing Authority. If yours is one, start with the housing authority, then ask us, since the covenant could limit who is allowed to buy it.

Rentals. Over a third of households rent.

Estates. Trustees and personal representatives may fall under the disclosure exemption in Idaho Code §55-2505. Confirm with counsel before you sign anything.

Taxes. In Blaine County, half the year's tax is due by Dec. 20, and the rest by June 20.
