Hobby Farm With A View

A historic 1,590 square foot main home sits towards the front of this 4+ acre lot, with some of the most spectacular views in Utah greeting you outside the front door. The property boasts nearly 3 tillable acres along with stock corrals and several outbuildings. This creates the perfect place for a hobby farm or small-scale agriculture while providing places to keep your horses and other animals. Included in the sale are several underground water rights which provide enough water for two homes, along with the agricultural acreage. You could use the current home as a place of residence while building another home on the property. The property is also part of a 5-member water co-op with a water turn once every 22 days from Government Creek. Sprinkler irrigation is provided for the fields through multiple risers spread across the back of the lot. This property boasts 360-degree views of white and red rock cliffs along with the green valley bottom and surrounding mountain ranges. To the North lies the Fishlake National Forest with over 515,000 acres of public access starting with Thousand Lake Mountain. Minutes away to the East, the 241,904 acres of Capitol Reef National Park wait to greet you. To the South, world-class hunting awaits on Boulder Mountain, located within 700,000+ contiguous acres of the Dixie National Forest. Finally, to the West, you have over 500,000 acres of BLM and State Trust Lands. This leaves you with a staggering 300+ square miles of recreational opportunities mere minutes from your doorstep! This lot is just minutes from the Western gate of Capitol Reef National Park, which hosted over 1.4 million visits in 2024. This was a record for the park and represents an 81% increase in visitation since 2014 – the largest increase in visitors for any of Utah’s National Parks. The area is considered ‘dark skies’ with extremely low light pollution, perfect for star viewing and enjoying the breathtaking night skies above the red rock cliffs and mountains in every direction. The best part? The Bicknell Bottoms Wildlife Management Area is directly across the road. Walk right into the 670-acre managed wildlife area known for its excellent waterfowl hunting, along with opportunities for upland birds such as pheasants, grouse, and doves. Non-game birds such as the marsh wren, northern harrier, and the southwestern willow flycatcher also call the bottoms home and provide ample opportunities for wildlife viewing. With both Pine Creek and the Fremont River flowing through the bottoms, various trout species can be found through what has been described as ‘the best 1-mile stretch of trophy trout stream in the state of Utah.’
