Twin Falls has mountains to the southwest, but they are a fair distance away, and you may not be able to see them, depending on the immediate topography on which your house is located. In general, the topography around Twin Falls is rather flat.

The most sought after locations to build are along the rim of the Snake River Gorge. Additionally, I have seen a number of homes actually located in the Gorge. The view from above would be interesting, but I don’t think I would want to live in a huge crack in the ground.

Finding a country style home shouldn’t be a problem in Twin Falls.

There are no homes in the Canyon. At least, none I know of. I don't know what this "Gorge" you speak of is - Rock Canyon?

There is definitely one golf course with associated buildings, and I have seen several houses for sale on the internet that are perched in the walls.

This is how gorge is used in most states; perhaps it is used differently in Idaho.

Gorge

Noun

Definition:

1. narrow valley: a deep narrow, usually rocky, valley

I would also refer you to the following websites:

Picture/Photo: Snake River gorge. Idaho, USA

Snake River - Photo Gallery

Seems they both use the term "gorge" as well; however, since I am only a frequent visitor—my son is the one who actually lives in the area—I will differ to your definition and substitute “rock canyon:” for “gorge” in the future.

No, I've lived there half of my life. I know where the golf courses are (Blue Lakes and Canyon Springs).

I also know that there are no homes in the canyon, at least as far as I know. There are definitely homes on the canyon, though they usually don't go up for sale. And they haven't been building a lot of new homes, either (though there are some condos and apartments going up).

Rock Canyon (a sort of tributary of the Snake River Canyon) has some homes on the edges, and maybe some in it (though I doubt it).
