The Midland Ranch Unit 3: Prospect Mountain Ranch

The Operational Heart of Midland

Prospect Mountain Ranch brings together the headquarters, productive irrigated ground, substantial river frontage, and extensive seasonal grazing resources that form the operational heart of Midland.

Approximately 2,380 deeded acres anchor associated state, BLM, and Forest Service grazing lands. The landscape rises from open plains and river meadows into timbered country, creating a broad range of grazing conditions and wildlife habitats.

Water resources include surface rights totaling 7.84 cubic feet per second for 549 acres, with priority dates of 1905, 1908, and 1911, together with reservoir storage, artesian and pump wells, and natural springs. Extensive Big Sandy and Little Sandy River frontage across deeded and state lands adds fishing opportunities and substantial riparian habitat.

The unit’s irrigated hay fields and pastures contribute directly to the livestock enterprise. They also sit within a landscape used by migrating pronghorn and mule deer, with resident elk and other wildlife adding to its conservation interest. The ranch is criss-crossed by mutual routes along the Mule Deer and Antelope Migratory Corridors. In addition the ranch falls within the Sage Grouse Core Area. 

The headquarters includes two residences, historic buildings, corrals, a shipping pen with commercial scale, weaning facilities, calving barns, and shearing and lambing barns. An established county road serves the complex.

Prospect Mountain offers the infrastructure to operate at scale and the natural resources to make long-term stewardship a central part of ownership.

The Midland Ranch Unit 3: Prospect Mountain Ranch is a distinct and remarkable property offered for individual sale. Prospective buyers should be aware that it is also a key component of the legendary Midland Ranch, a legacy-scale holding of over one million acres which is being offered in its entirety. This larger portfolio represents a complete, year-round operation stretching from the timbered high country to the arid expanse of the Red Desert, encompassing world-class water rights, wildlife resources, and historical significance. While each unit stands powerfully on its own merits, the opportunity to acquire the complete Midland Ranch is a singular event in the western ranch market.
