This variation attracts a wide range of wildlife and enhances the property's scenic and ecological value. Located about 140 miles southeast of Salt Lake City near Price, Utah, the ranch is close to major recreational and cultural attractions, including the San Rafael Swell, Goblin Valley State Park, and both Huntington and Millsite State Parks. The region also holds historical significance, with nearby dinosaur excavation sites, museums, Native American rock art, and old mining towns. In addition to its recreational value, East Carbon Ranch can support 100-300 cow-calf pairs during the summer grazing season. Multiple eligible building sites near county roads offer access to municipal power, making future development or lodging additions feasible. Private gated access ensures security and exclusivity across most of the property. The entire ranch lies within a designated Economic Opportunity Zone, offering possible tax incentives for qualifying investments. The property also offers strong potential for conservation easements, aligning income opportunities with environmental stewardship. East Carbon Ranch is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a vast, ecologically rich landscape that offers income, adventure, and long-term value in the heart of Utah's wild country.
