About 123 Tbd Forest Service Rd 640a (s
This 190-acre property in Sevier County, Utah, offers a mix of productive meadows, wooded terrain, and natural water sources in a setting adjacent to public land. Located near the gateway to Fishlake National Forest, the parcel sits along the slopes of Oak Ridge and lies approximately one mile from paved Gooseberry Road with convenient access to Interstate 70. The property has been held by the same family for generations and reflects a long history of careful stewardship. Historically, portions of the land were cultivated as productive farmland after the area was first homesteaded in the late 1800s. While large-scale farming is no longer active, the soils, layout, and infrastructure remain, offering opportunities for agricultural use such as grazing or small-scale farming operations. Approximately 100 acres consist of semi-irrigated meadow ground that has historically supported grazing livestock. These meadows provide open terrain with established grasses suitable for seasonal grazing. A gravity-fed irrigation system helps distribute water across portions of the meadow, making use of natural water sources on the property. Several springs flow on and through the parcel, providing water for livestock as well as habitat for wildlife that frequent the area. The property also supports a diverse wildlife presence. Elk, mule deer, wild turkey, and other species are commonly found in this region of central Utah. The parcel currently qualifies for two cow elk depredation tags each year, with the possibility of obtaining additional tags through the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, according to current regulations. Because the land is bordered on three sides by national forest land, wildlife movement through the area is common. Roughly 70 acres of the property consist of sagebrush terrain and pinyon juniper woodland. These wooded sections are primarily located on the northeastern and southern portions of the parcel. The vegetation provides cover and habitat for wildlife while also creating natural separation across the property. The mix of open meadow and wooded terrain supports a variety of potential land uses. With its size and layout, the property may offer several potential building locations for a residence, cabin, or seasonal retreat, subject to local regulations and permitting. Elevated areas on the property provide views of the surrounding mountains and nearby public lands. The surrounding national forest creates a setting with limited nearby development and convenient access to outdoor recreation. Recreation opportunities in the area include hunting, hiking, horseback riding, and exploring the extensive road and trail systems within Fishlake National Forest. The nearby Gooseberry Road corridor also connects to regional travel routes, making it possible to reach the property while still maintaining a rural setting. Nearby communities include the town of Salina, which provides basic services and amenities, and the city of Richfield, a regional hub offering grocery stores, lodging, medical services, and additional retail. The property's location near Interstate 70 allows access from multiple parts of the state. The combination of meadow ground, wooded habitat, natural water sources, and proximity to public land makes this parcel well-suited for agricultural use, recreation, wildlife habitat, or a private retreat setting. Buyers should verify zoning, water rights, grazing potential, and development options with Sevier County and other appropriate agencies.
