Built in 2007, this custom home offers a rare blend of refined craftsmanship and natural beauty. The 6,800-square-foot residence features approximately 4,500 square feet of main living space and 2,300 square feet of finished basement, with four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms throughout. Thoughtfully oriented to capture the property's most dramatic asset, the home showcases uninterrupted southern views of the mighty Uinta Mountain Range, where eight peaks tower above 12,000 feet, creating a spectacular vista visible from nearly anywhere on the property.
The property forms a near-perfect rectangle with half a mile of frontage along County Road 157 and extends one mile deep.

Beyond these waterways, the ranch encompasses approximately 50 acres of flood-irrigated native hay land and about 200 acres of irrigated pasture. Ten separate cross-fenced pasture areas enable precise management of livestock throughout the property.
