The land is not currently accessible by any public roadway, except for a “farm road” off of Christensen Road, east of the city. The property has no easements and Adams has described the property as being “landlocked.”
The land first drew the attention of the City Council at its April 1 meeting, when Adams told council members that the city had received an unsolicited offer for the land. After conferring with City Attorney Roger Morgan, Adams and the Council decided to sell the land through a bidding process.
The money from the land’s sale will be used to help pay for the construction of the city’s new fire station, which will sit upon land donated by Mountain Home resident Sonny Sharp in honor of his late parents, William Elmer “Red” and Margaret Sharp. When completed, the station will be named “Sharp Family Fire Station #2” in recognition of the family.
