Lucky River Bottom Ranch

Located near the mouth of Kingston Canyon in Piute County, this nearly 777-acre working ranch combines agricultural productivity, extensive water resources, and recreational opportunities. The property features more than two miles of the East Fork of the Sevier River flowing through the ranch and is positioned near Otter Creek in a scenic valley setting.

Highway 62 runs through the property, dividing the ranch into two distinct areas. The southern portion contains the river bottom ground and primary improvements, while the northern portion rises to sagebrush-covered benches with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The property is fully fenced and gated along the highway with established access points.

The ranch includes more than 200 acres of productive tillable ground located along the river bottom. These fields benefit from a substantial water right totaling approximately 481.26 acre feet with a priority dating back to the 1880s. This senior water right supports irrigation and livestock operations and represents an important component of the property's agricultural utility.

Multiple year-round springs are located on the south side of the property and contribute to wetland areas that provide habitat for a variety of wildlife species. Ducks, geese, sage grouse, and mule deer are commonly observed on the ranch. The Sevier River meanders through the property, creating several locations where livestock have access to water and where anglers can access the river along privately controlled frontage.

The primary residence sits on an elevated location overlooking portions of the river bottom and surrounding mountains. The home measures approximately 1,674 square feet and includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It is positioned above a garage and features a covered wraparound porch that offers views of the river corridor and nearby mountain ranges. The home is serviced by electrical power, a culinary water well, septic system, and propane.

Nearby improvements support livestock operations and include working corrals, a squeeze chute, and additional handling facilities. A bridge across the river connects portions of the ranch and supports internal travel. An established internal road network allows access throughout much of the property, and multiple developed cattle crossings provide practical movement of livestock across the river corridor.

North of Highway 62, the property rises approximately 400 feet above the river bottom to a high point of about 6,770 feet in elevation. This area includes more than 300 acres of rolling sagebrush hills with scattered cedar trees and broad views across the valley. Several springs in the northeast corner provide water for approximately 30 acres of grazing ground. Improvements in this area include corrals, electrical service, and a well permit associated with a potential second home site.

The northeast corner of the property also contains a gravel pit with direct access to the paved highway. From several points along the upper benches, the property offers wide views of the surrounding mountains as well as the nearby communities of Antimony and the Otter Creek area.

The northern portion of the ranch also serves as the access point to a Bureau of Land Management grazing lease associated with the operation that provides approximately 50 AUMs.

This Piute County ranch presents a combination of agricultural infrastructure, senior water rights, river frontage, and wildlife habitat across a large contiguous acreage. The mix of productive river bottom fields, grazing land, water resources, and residential improvements provides a functional working ranch setting in a scenic area of southern Utah.

The south side of the property has multiple year-round springs which feed wetlands 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 and culinary water from 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.
