Home to around 300 people, the area offers plenty of open space, quiet country roads, and big desert sky views.

The town got its start in the early 1900s as a railroad stop and quickly grew into a farming hub fed by river irrigation. Hammett still stays true to those agricultural roots today. It offers an easygoing, slow-paced lifestyle with great fishing and boating right on the river, making it an appealing spot for anyone looking for quiet acreage within driving distance of Mountain Home and Boise.
