Utah High Desert Riverfront Safe Haven
Are you seeking a remote site for your safe haven? Really remote? This property may be exactly what you need! No electric service, no land line telephone, no high-speed fiber-optic internet.
3 miles
(approximately) total riverfront on the two parcels in
the high desert of Utah. It's five miles from Green
River (population 900+) UT, in Emery County (the county
seat is Castle Dale, UT). A Prepper's delight, there are
1,000's of tons of marketable gravel and level areas for
your garden, chickens, goats, perhaps a milk cow and
more than enough level ground for your home and
out-buildings.
The cave has two entrances. It's believed a Mountain Lion has taken up residence in the cave? You're more than welcome to visit the cave and determine if that's true!
Amazing Jurassic Era geology (fossils? dinosaur bones? possibly).
These two parcels a 90 acre parcel and the 140 acre parcel costs less than $100 combined per year in property taxes.
The most recent inquiry by the owner found that water wells could still be drilled in land bordering the river.
Oil and gas rights have been sold, but the sand and gravel rights were retained along with the other mineral rights in this sale.
On
the 140 acre parcel, in the shoreline picture, you can see
the distinct line of where the gravel deposit ends on the
river bank and where limestone (greenish gray)
begins. This is the most shallow part of the
deposit, as the property stair steps up and of the 12
sampling digs going down 24 feet, only one reached the
limestone. So the deposit is deep. And there
is a 2-3 inches overburden (which is very good) over the
majority of the deposit on the property. The owner's last inquiry found there was still availability of a rail spur to be run. It's currently unknown the status of the rail spur availability.
Access would be with a
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) permit through the
bordering BLM lands. Utah law states that no
property can be landlocked. The BLM easement permit takes
some time but is not much of a constraint, especially for
a construction company/aggregate buyer.
The CMC analysis done
in 2004 will provide details.
The two parcels may be
bought separately: The 140 acre parcel 2.7 million dollars
and the 90 acre parcel for 349K.
The price for both
parcels is 2.85 million dollars (a discount of
199K).
For those serious about
this property, we have plat maps.
