Description
This litigation arises out of a dispute over a land sale contract. Plaintiff-appellants Thomas and Lydia Russ, the vendees, brought this action against defendant-respondents Floyd and Jetta Brown, the vendors, to rescind the contract claiming misrepresentations made by the Browns concerning several matters, including the water rights on the property. The district court, sitting without a jury, entered judgment in favor of the vendors-Brown and allowed them to retain the amount paid on the contract by the vendees-Russ as the liquidated damages. We reverse the judgment of the trial court. The Browns owned a bar-cafe and lodge complex known as the Wagontown Lodge located along the South Fork of the Boise River in Elmore County. In August, 1969, they entered into negotiations and ultimately a contract with the Russes for the sale of Wagontown Lodge to the Russes for the sum of $45,000. The Russes paid $8,050 down and monthly installments of $236.12 from October, 1969, through August, 1970. During the negotiations, certain representations were made by the Browns regarding water rights from Grouse Creek and a ditch right to transport water over a neighboring property. That neighboring property, known as Paradise Plunge, is a similar commercial type property located across the road from the subject property.
