1460 S River Rd, Huntington

Secluded parcel with hills, river frontage, wildlife, views, and access to countless outdoor activities all while being minutes from town. This off-grid property is located just 2.5 miles from the intersection of main and center (River Rd) streets in Huntington Utah, but the property feels much more remote than that. The property itself has River Rd cutting through the western side of the lot separating the flat portion of the property from the 9 or so acres of hill ground. Over 20 acres of this property have been farmed in years past and the remaining 35 acres is split between brush ground suitable for grazing and forest ground bordering Huntington Creek. The Creek itself comprises most of the Eastern boundary of the property. The result is a property sloping from West to East with steep hills on the West side, brush and grazing ground in the middle, and a forest with a creek on the East side. The variety of topography is hard to find and leads to an amazing diversity between different parts of the parcel. Cottonwoods and Russian Olives make up the majority of the forest, although other species are present as well. Sagebrush, rabbitbrush various grasses cover the majority of the property while tamarisk is also present close to the creek. The northwest corner of the parcel has several corrals and is well-set up to provide the resources and access for a full-fledged livestock operation or farm as the entire 53 acres to the east of the road are entirely fences with 3 access gates. The land is currently used for grazing with approximately 25 cow-calf pairs currently occupying the property. In addition to the cattle, the property is also home to a variety of upland game including doves, quail, and pheasants, along with the occasional mule deer. Migratory birds such as Canadian Geese and a variety of ducks can also be found on the property, primarily in the winter months. The property has views of the surrounding farmland, San Rafael Swell, and Manti-Lasal Mountains adding to the amazing feel of being in such a rural, undisturbed area. Museums, trails, state parks, National Forrest, fishing, river rafting, climbing, canyoneering, golfing, hiking, biking, riding, and dozens of other activities are all mere minutes away. If you enjoy being in the outdoors the chances are pretty high that you will be able to find multiple opportunities to be outside enjoying what Emery County has to offer. If you like to get out and explore you will find countless opportunities throughout Emery County, the beautiful rock formations of the San Rafael Swell, and the high-elevation mountains of the Manti-La Sal National Forest.
