Single Family Residence In Torrey

This 131 acre homesteading ranch surrounded by red rock offers a peaceful retreat and plenty of potential bordering Capitol Reef National Park. It is home to 660 apple trees, 50 apricot trees, and 25 almond trees, with ample pasture for cattle grazing and crop cultivation. There is also a 30x40’ shop on the property with a concrete floor, 220 power, and a mandoor. Wildlife abounds on the ranch, including deer, mountain lions, coyotes, and turkeys. You can also enjoy the breathtaking starry nights and explore the vast ATV, horseback riding, and hiking trails. The property is centrally located and close to several popular destinations, such as Burr Trail, Boulder, Lake Powell, Torrey, Escalante, Bryce, and the Henry Mountains. Notom, where the property is located, is known as an oasis in the desert due to the availability of water. Pleasant Creek is the primary water source, and the ranch has a water right of 6.3 cfs from April to November. The water flows through a ditch that was built over a century ago by George Durfey using horses and scrapers. The ditch has since been improved with sluish gates and pipelines, but the original ditch remains. As you gaze at the lush fields of alfalfa, green pastures, and fruit trees, you realize that water is truly the lifeblood of this arid land. Additionally, farm equipment, including a Swather, bailer, 2 tractors, sprayers, marker mower, blade, gopher getter, harrow, and disc, will be included in the sale.
