Desert View Ranch

This 640-acre property, located north of Herd Pass and west of Prout Spring, offers a rare combination of size, seclusion, and recreational opportunity in Iron County, Utah. With no other private lands for more than three miles, the property provides a quiet setting at the end of a lightly traveled dead-end road.

The land features diverse terrain and vegetation, with elevations ranging from 6,235 feet to 7,082 feet. These elevation changes create open vistas with views extending more than 40 miles to distant mountain ranges on clear days. Old-growth pinyon and juniper forests dominate the landscape, interspersed with sagebrush, rabbit brush, cactus, bitterbrush, and remnants of tree cuttings more than 50 years old.

Road access is available at the property's northwest and southeast corners. High-clearance vehicles or UTVs are recommended for reliable access. From the property, hundreds of miles of trails in the Wah Wah and Indian Peak mountain ranges are easily accessible, making it a practical base for recreation in multiple directions.

Wildlife use of the property and surrounding areas is diverse. Elk, wild horses, and coyotes are regularly observed within the property boundaries, while antelope, mule deer, mountain lions, and bobcats frequent the surrounding hills and mountains. To the south, habitat improvements have been completed for upland bird species, including Chukar Partridge and Dove, adding another dimension to the recreational opportunities.

The property includes 2.0 acre-feet of underground water rights, providing flexibility for future development or residential use. Nearby developed springs add additional context to the availability of water resources in the region. Combined with its size, varied vegetation, and access, the water rights provide options for those interested in creating a retreat that can be enjoyed year after year. Or those seeking to create a hub for nearby wildlife.

The landscape’s elevation changes, open views, and mix of forest and sage habitat support a variety of recreational pursuits. From hiking and camping to wildlife observation and hunting, the property can support multiple uses while maintaining its natural seclusion. Its location ensures privacy, while the extensive trail systems nearby connect it to a wider region of public lands and recreation.

For access to services, the property is located approximately 57 miles from Milford, Utah, which offers groceries, fuel, and basic amenities. Cedar City is roughly 46 miles southeast, providing larger-scale services including healthcare, shopping, and lodging.

This property represents an opportunity to own a large, contiguous acreage in western Utah with road access, water rights, and a wide range of recreational potential. Its mix of forest, sage openings, and dramatic topography ensures both natural beauty and practical use, whether for a private retreat or as a recreational base for exploring both Iron and Beaver Counties.
