Property Description
Situated within a region renowned for its vast landscapes, abundant wildlife, and exceptional recreational opportunities, lies the 2575 Ranch. Featuring expansive rangeland, diverse wildlife habitat, dependable water resources, and excellent year-round accessibility, the ranch offers outstanding potential for grazing, recreation, or long-term investment.
Land
The 2575 Ranch encompasses approximately 2,575 +/- deeded acres of diverse and highly usable terrain with sweeping views of the Abajo and La Sal Mountains. Across the ranch, expansive CRP fields and native grasslands gradually transition into gently rolling hills, broad benches, shallow draws, and dense stands of pinyon-juniper, creating a landscape equally suited for livestock operations, wildlife habitat, and recreation. Rather than offering a single type of terrain, the ranch provides exceptional diversity, with each portion contributing its own unique character while blending seamlessly into one cohesive property.
Water is one of the ranch’s defining features. An impressive reservoir serves as a dependable water source for livestock and wildlife, while additional ponds, including one located on the northern portion of the ranch, further enhances the property’s appeal. The combination of water, native vegetation, and varied topography creates excellent habitat throughout the ranch while supporting day-to-day livestock operations.
Currently enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), the ranch has been carefully maintained over the years while also providing an established source of income of nearly $30,000. Native rangeland, healthy stands of sagebrush, and dense pinyon-juniper pockets provide an excellent balance of forage, cover, and habitat across the property. Much of the ranch is perimeter fenced, making it well suited for grazing.
Accessibility is another standout feature of the 2575 Ranch. US 491 borders the property, providing convenient year-round access, while numerous county roads offer multiple entry points throughout the ranch. Power is available along portions of the property, presenting excellent opportunities for future improvements should the next owner choose to construct a cabin, hunting retreat, or a residence.
Whether utilized as a cattle ranch, an exceptional recreational property, or a long-term investment, the Pearson Wash Ranch offers the rare combination of size, accessibility, water resources, and landscape diversity that is increasingly difficult to find in today’s market.
