ROCK CREEK RANCH

The 425-acre Rock Creek Ranch is one of only three private properties that occupy the secluded top of Range Valley Mountain, located high above the fabled Book Cliffs in Utah’s Carbon County.

The mountain top is a gently rolling plateau about 20 miles long and one to two miles wide, with incredibly steep, rugged approaches all around. There is only one road in and no public access to the mountain.

The other two properties on the mountain are Preston Nutter Ranch, controlling the north end of the mountain, and Tavaputs Ranch, controlling the south end of the mountain. Rock Creek Ranch is nestled in the center, overlooking Range Creek Valley, 2,200 vertical feet below.

The ranch was acquired by a local family in 1957, and carefully improved with fencing, a nice set of corrals, and several stock water ponds. The first structure on the ranch, the ‘Cow Camp’, was dragged to the mountain top, and still serves today as one of several guest accommodations. The ranch house, built in 1960, is clad in beautiful native stone, matching many of the other improvements that came later.

The ranch is self-contained, with plenty of propane storage, diesel-electric generators, and a private water well. There is also a grassy airstrip conveniently located next to the improvements. Parties of over twenty people are easily accommodated at the ranch.

The uniqueness and incredible beauty of this property cannot be overstated, ranking as one of the top recreational ranches we have ever represented.
