A rare gem lies undiscovered on the eastern flanks of the 12,000-foot La Sal Mountains near Moab, Utah. A surprising mountain retreat hidden in the midst of Utah’s redrock country, the La Sal Ranch sweeps across nearly 2,000 spectacular acres at elevations from 9,000 to nearly 11,000 feet. Stands of aspen and spruce/fir forests, large meadows and quiet glades, create a diverse landscape ideal for healthy populations of resident elk, mule deer and other wildlife. The upper elevations of the ranch stretch nearly to timberline, and views of the nearby high peaks are magnificent. Deep Creek, a small coldwater stream fed by snowmelt, traverses more than a mile of the ranch, provides life-giving water to wildlife, and may be home to rare Colorado River Cutthroat Trout. The ranch has numerous permanent springs that attract deer and elk as well.

Originally homesteaded in the early 1900’s, the La Sal Ranch has remained essentially undeveloped since then, with the exception of a few historic cabins and two access roads. The potential for developing this remarkably scenic property into a guest ranch, hunting and fishing lodge or recreational retreat is excellent, or it could be preserved as virtual wilderness through means of a conservation easement. The wealth of possibilities for the La Sal Ranch is as breathtaking as its mountain setting.

Nearly completely surrounded on four sides by National and State Forest lands, the La Sal Ranch provides a critical piece of wildlife habitat in the La Sal Mountains ecosystem. The ranch controls the approach to much of the eastern side of the La Sals, and offers virtually private access to the lovely timberline basins below Mount Tomasaki and Manns Peak. The La Sals are renowned for both trophy mule deer and elk hunting, with some especially fine bulls and bucks taken each year. Wild turkeys, mountain lions, black bears, coyotes and bobcats also roam here. Rare Colorado River Cutthroat trout have been documented in nearby Roc Creek and may survive in the waters on the ranch as well, as Deep Creek is a tributary of Roc Creek.

Some of the most astounding scenery in the United States lies within an hour’s drive of La Sal Ranch, ranging from the windswept peaks above treeline to echoing redrock canyons. Thus, diverse recreational opportunities abound. Mountain biking, horseback riding, four-wheeling, snowmobiling and cross country skiing are all possibilities both on the ranch and nearby public lands. Moab, a bustling small city and the recreation center of southeastern Utah, is only a little more that an hour’s drive. Canyonlands Airport serves Moab, and renowned Arches and Canyonlands National Parks are nearby. To the northeast lie the Colorado communities of Gateway (30 miles) and Grand Junction (90 miles). Telluride, Colorado with world-class skiing, is about 100 miles away. $6,500,000.
