PHYSICAL AND OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION The ranch is located a couple of miles downstream from the regionally notable East Canyon Reservoir, which is the origin of the East Fork River that flows through the northern section of the ranch for over a mile. This tailwater is an excellent fishery and creates a stunning live water ribbon through the ‘upper meadows’ that are home to a herd of horses and Scottish Highland cows. The East Fork River continues downstream, becoming a spectacular feature that accentuates the improvements and the canopy of mature trees, lush lawns, a trout pond, planting boxes, and water features, creating a remarkably refined yet serene escape. The tranquil river bottom experience sits at an elevation of about 5,300 feet, and the topography begins to change quickly as you drive the well-maintained road network that climbs into Sheep Creek Canyon. The highest peaks on the ranch are over 8,300 feet, which creates an impressive 3,000 feet of elevation gain in a dramatic, beautiful, and private backcountry experience that lives a world away from the luxury that has been created along the East Fork River. There are multiple Sheep Creek crossing points as you climb south and continue to gain elevation. There is a backcountry campsite along Sheep Creek that features a wall tent with a wood stove situated on a custom deck. The camp is complete with a solar shower, outhouse, fire pit, and a wood-fired hot tub to soak under a star-filled sky amongst the Utah wildlife. This backcountry camp is a true destination, creating an amazing seasonal escape or the perfect base for a hunting camp in the fall. As you continue climbing near the southern border of the ranch, the journey gets more dramatic, and the expansiveness of the Sheep Creek Canyon experience completely sets in. There are several prominent ridgelines, and the highest point on the ranch is mapped at 8,376 feet in elevation. The views of the Wasatch Range to the west, regionally significant Lewis Peak to the east, and Park City to the south are some of the most spectacular you’ll encounter anywhere in Utah. The massive stands of aspen trees, scrub oaks, birch trees, cottonwoods, and dense stands of fir trees provide an incredible and ever-changing palette of colors throughout the seasons. The road network offers access to the elevated eastern portion of the ranch, which sits at about 7,500 feet and exposes a stunning bench overlooking the East Canyon Reservoir and mountain peaks on the horizon in every direction.
