Emmett is the gateway to Idaho’s backcountry with gorgeous views and friendly people. Enjoy endless views of rolling hills and majestic mountains in this peaceful city situated along the Payette River. Emmett may be a small city (roughly 8000 residents), but it feels like a cozy home town where residents care for one another and make you feel welcome. From quaint cottages, million dollar estates, affordable new construction, to one hundred acre ranch properties, Emmett real estate is incredibly diverse. There is truly something for everyone. 

The first thing most people think of when they hear Emmett is cherries! The annual Cherry Festival attracts droves of people to the charming city of Emmett - roughly 50,000 people – and thousands of pounds of cherries are purchased during the festival. Live music, good food, and happy people abound!

Emmett has a very impressive classic car community. It’s almost impossible to drive through town without seeing a gorgeous time capsule on wheels. The classic car community gathers together for classic car shows all throughout the summer – be sure to check out The Show and Shine and The Cruise Night if this is your thing. Locals can also be found hiking Squaw Butte, boating at Black Canyon Reservoir, soaking in the Roystone hot springs, hunting, or fishing.
