The Idaho Supreme Court ruled last month that the current owners of Indian Springs recreational area in Power County did not owe the former owners, Terry and Rosanna Andersen, any money from improvements they made to the property while they were living there.

    Indian Springs has been a fixture in the court system during the last decade or so, with the property being sold by default twice in the past 10 years. In 2003, it was the Andersens, as owners of a trust, who purchased the property.

    The current owners purchased the property in January 2008 at public auction by the Power County Sheriff’s Office, so ordered to recover a 2007 judgment against the owners at the time, which included the Andersens.

    The new owners then sought to evict the Andersens, as well as the parents of Rosanna, from the property. Another court battle was fought over that attempt and the Andersens were eventually told they had to vacate the property.

    The Andersens eventually filed a countersuit in 2010, claiming they were owed money for improvements they made to the property. Sixth District Judge Stephen Dunn eventually ruled against the Andersens who then appealed the decision to the Idaho Supreme Court.

    At one time Indian Springs Natatorium, a natural hot springs located just south of American Falls on Highway 37, was a popular camping and swimming destination in the area.
