Ranch Attributes
Flying T Ranch consists of 811+ acres of fertile river frontage and rolling pasture land. The property is fully fenced and cross-fenced and includes significant groundwater rights sourced from an extensive 5,300-foot geothermal well that produces 450 gallons per minute. Sitting at about 5,600 to 5,800 feet in elevation, the ranch includes alfalfa fields and rolling pasture covered with native grasses, cedar trees, and sage. A fertile river valley by the Sanpitch River crowns the top of the property. While the ranch has historically been used for farming and grazing, its highest and best economic use is for residential or recreational development.
Recreation
For the equestrian buyer, this is an ideal horse property for sale in the region. Fly fishing is available for native brown and rainbow trout on stretches of the Sanpitch River. The property is located not far from Skyline Drive, a popular amenity in the state that winds for over 100 miles along the very top of the Wasatch Plateau, providing access to forested mountains, alpine meadows, and numerous lakes and streams. The ranch also offers direct access to numerous points within the Manti-La Sal National Forest, which includes over 1,400,000 acres and provides numerous recreational opportunities, including big game hunting, fly fishing, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, ATVing, and snowmobiling.
Location & Locale
The ranch is located just south of Moroni and is accessible from Utah Highway 132. Sanpete County, only an hour’s drive south of Provo, is located in the heart of Utah and still maintains very much of its rural character. The spectacular ridgelines of the Uinta Cache National Forest to the west and the Manti-La Sal National Forest to the east provide a dramatic backdrop to the ranch’s location, with incredible views of the surrounding valleys and mountain basins.
History
The area was settled in the 1850s and, for decades, played a significant role in the nation’s wool-growing economy.
