Description
Tucked in the rolling hills of the Bear River Mountain Range, this gem offers an oasis escape with a year-round creek, county road access with overhead power, and views as far as the eye can see. Conveniently located off State Highway 36, less than thirty minutes from Bear Lake, this Emigration Creek property comprises three contiguous parcels, which provide privacy and the perfect blend of grazing, recreation, and homesteading potential. Whether you're seeking a private homesite, a second home retreat, or functional ground for livestock, this property delivers.
The front five-acre parcel has been surveyed and is perfectly positioned for a future homesite with Emigration Creek frontage and a stock water right. An 1800s granary stands tall against the aspen grove, reminiscent of past days. Sawmill Road provides year-round county-maintained gravel/dirt road access with approximately 263 feet of frontage. Overhead power runs along the road, offering convenient utility access. This parcel is flat to gradually sloping and comes with a dedicated culinary water right sourced from a spring located on the adjoining one hundred ten acres. In addition, it provides deeded easement access to that larger tract of land south of Emigration Creek. This fosters a seamless transition between homestead and pasture.
The adjacent one hundred ten acres stretch across varied terrain, ranging from open flats and gentle hillsides to moderate slopes with perimeter fencing for grazing. Carpeted with native pasture grasses, pockets of fragrant sagebrush, wildflowers, and a healthy aspen grove, this land offers both utility and natural beauty. It’s an ideal canvas for grazing livestock, creating riding trails, or simply enjoying peaceful hikes through your own high-country acreage. Year-round Emigration Creek flows for approximately a quarter mile through the property, providing a valuable live water source for livestock and recreation. The property holds a stock water right from the creek and also features a spring that provides culinary water rights and feeds the stream, further enhancing water availability. Access to the northern portion of the property is available off the same year-round county road and via a seasonal gravel/dirt road. Overhead power runs along the road, providing future infrastructure opportunities.
Float fish or swim along the nearby Bear River and return to warm up by a campfire and enjoy wildlife viewing from the privacy of your own backyard. Relax to the gentle sounds of the aspen leaves rustling in the breeze and the babbling brook as it gingerly meanders through the property. The nearby Cache National Forest offers an outdoor recreation paradise with miles of dirt roads and trails to experience horseback riding, backpacking, mountain biking, cruising in ATVs, and big game hunting. Winter access requires a snow machine, opening the door to a magical winter wonderland adventure, snowmobiling, fat tire biking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing.
Whether you're envisioning a self-sufficient homestead, a second home in a quiet valley, or a functional grazing and recreational property, this land offers the rare combination of live water, usable topography, and essential infrastructure, plus the tranquility and timeless beauty of a mountain setting.
