Tucked in the rolling hills of the Bear River Mountain Range, this gem offers the perfect oasis escape with a year-round creek, views as far as the eye can see, and habitat for wildlife to thrive. Conveniently located off State Highway 36, less than thirty minutes from Bear Lake, this Mill Creek Ranch three-bedroom three-bath home is well-maintained and sits on just under four and a half acres with four adjacent parcels providing additional privacy and plenty of room to explore or develop.
The terrain offers endless exploration both on and off the property. If fishing catches your fancy, grab your rod and reel. Two forks and .61 miles of Mill Creek flow through the property year-round and Cutthroat and Brook trout are found throughout the creek. Set up camp in your own backyard. The lush meadows near the creek provide a scenic campsite for family and friends to visit, with plenty of room for them to park their campers and tents. Wild berries are plentiful on the property, service berries, currants, chokecherries, raspberries and elderberries, perfect for snacking or preserves. The creek and natural vegetation provide shelter and habitat for wildlife such as mule deer, elk, moose, mountain lions, and upland game which frequent the property. Four trail cams are set up along Mill Creek heading up the canyon and capturing wildlife footage in its purest form.
Float, fish or swim along the nearby Bear River and return to warm up by the campfire or gas fireplace and enjoy wildlife viewing from the privacy of your expansive deck. Relax to the gentle sounds of the aspen leaves rustling in the breeze and the babbling brook as it gingerly meanders through the property.
Backed up to thousands of acres of public land, this is an outdoor recreation paradise with miles of dirt roads and trails to experience backpacking, mountain biking, cruising in ATV’s and big game hunting. Winter access requires a snow machine, opening the door for a magical winter wonderland adventure snowmobiling, cross country skiing and snowshoeing.
The landowners have submitted stock water and irrigation water rights documents for adjudication.
With power available at three separate locations, easement access for future roadways and the surveyed contiguous parcels, this property could be ripe for recreational or residential development.
Evidence of Native American Indians and early pioneers have been found on the property. Teepee rings are often visible for a couple weeks during the summer in the meadows. Arrowheads, grinding stones, and other stone tools and metal utensils, to mention a few have been found on the property by the current owners.
Relish in the fresh air, mountain views and natural light streaming in through the many windows. The low-maintenance vinyl siding, metal roof and composite deck add to the value especially as a recreational property. The hardwood floors, quartz countertop, gourmet stainless steel appliances, tile surround showers and two-sided stone fireplace are all value-added upgrades. The property is available furnished apart from personal items.
A beautiful turnkey mountain property like this won’t last long, call Dave and Ann White to schedule your tour before it’s gone.
