The Bend at Big Rock

This 35-acre tract in Sevier County, Utah sits inside the Sevier River canyon corridor along Scenic Highway 89. This lot is immersed in nature on all sides. Mature cottonwoods, scrub oak, pinyon-juniper, sage, and native vegetation cover the property, and the terrain rises from the river bottom at 5,594 feet to 6,247 feet at the top, a change of about 650 feet.

That rise is what makes the ground work. The lower benches sit near the river bottom, and the upper slopes open up views of the surrounding rock formations and the Sevier River. Views of the river are possible from several spots on the property, so you have plenty of choices for a homesite, a camp, or to simply sit and enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

Access is set up and ready. A pathway and pad have been cleared, and a custom steel gate marks the entrance off Highway 89. The lot is raised above the roadway and has no neighbors, which gives it a high level of privacy and seclusion for a recreational property or possible homesite.

The property comes with a 2 ACFT water right. It is considered off-grid. A well, septic system, and solar power would be required for development. Rocky Mountain Power could be brought to the lot, but at high cost, so buyers should plan around off-grid systems.

The recreation here is part of the setting. The paved Big Rock Candy Mountain Trail, a multi-use trail running from Elsinore to Big Rock Candy Mountain Resort, runs along the northern end of the property next to Highway 89. Just north of the highway, the Sevier River offers fishing, whitewater rafting, and other river activities. The historic Marysvale train tunnel is just west of the property.

The tract is frequented by deer, quail, chukars, turkeys, and other wildlife. The southern boundary borders Bureau of Land Management ground, and Fishlake National Forest is within walking distance. The Paiute ATV Trail system is close by, adding miles of riding and exploring. Fremont Indian State Park is a short drive away, and Richfield has gas stations, restaurants, a grocery store, and a Walmart.

For buyers looking for a hunting base, a cabin site, a hidden off-grid home, or a private recreational tract with a water right and public land access, this 35-acre property in central Utah is worth a close look.
