Description
Nestled close to Otter Creek, with over 2 miles of the scenic East Fork of the Sevier River, this nearly 777-acre working ranch offers exceptional utility in a picture-perfect setting. In addition to the 200+ acres of tillable river bottom ground, the property includes a massive 481.26 AC-FT water right with an 1880s priority, ensuring plenty of water for multiple purposes. HWY-62 runs through the middle of the property, separating the river bottom on the south from the sage benches to the north, with the property being fully fenced and gated along the highway. Situated at the mouth of Kingston Canyon, it provides exclusive access to over two miles of Blue Ribbon fishing, private road access, and countless possibilities.
The south side of the property has multiple year-round springs that feed wetlands that are rich in wildlife, including ducks, geese, sage grouse, and deer. The river meanders peacefully through the property, providing plentiful water for cattle and multiple areas to experience premium fishing. A well-maintained 1674’ 3-bedroom 2-bathroom home sits overtop a garage with a covered wraparound porch providing views of both the river and the surrounding mountains. Power, culinary water through a well, septic, and propane systems are all in very good condition. There are also working corrals, a squeeze chute, and a bridge over the river, all located close to the main home. An internal road network provides good road access throughout the property, and there are several developed cattle crossings placed at strategic points throughout the river.
On the north side of the highway, the property rises dramatically over 400’ above the river bottom to a peak elevation of 6770’. The northeast corner of the property has a gravel pit with paved road access, several springs feeding nearly 30 acres of premium grazing ground, corrals, power, and a well permit for a 2nd home. The north side of the highway is covered with rolling sage hills with a few cedar trees across the majority of the 300+ acres. This side of the property provides the gateway to a BLM grazing lease for another 50 AUMs. In several places, there are dramatic overlooks of the river bottom property, the surrounding mountains, and breathtaking views of Otter Creek and Antimony.
This opportunity to own a turnkey cattle operation, premier water rights, and enjoy multiple recreational opportunities ensures the next owners will count themselves lucky to own the River Bottom Ranch.
