Sunnyside, UT 84520 - Carbon County

Rock Creek Ranch is one of only three private properties that occupy the secluded top of Range Valley Mountain, located high above the fabled Book Cliffs of Utahs Carbon County.

The mountain top is a gently rolling plateau about 20 miles long and one to two miles wide, with incredibly steep, rugged approaches on two sides. There is only one road in, and no public access to the over 50,000-acre mountain top.

The other two ranches are the Preston Nutter Ranch, controlling the north end of the mountain, and the Tavaputs Ranch, controlling the south end of the mountain. Rock Creek Ranch is tucked between them in the center and overlooks Range Creek Valley, 2,200 vertical feet below.

The ranch was acquired by a local family in 1957, and carefully improved with fencing, a nice set of corrals, and multiple runoff water ponds. The first structure on the ranch, the Cow Camp, was dragged to the mountain top and still serves today as one of several guest accommodations. The ranch house, built in 1960, is clad in beautiful native stone, matching many of the other improvements that came later.

The ranch is self-contained, with ample propane storage, two diesel-electric generators, and a private water well. There is also a grass airstrip conveniently located next to the improvements. Parties of over twenty people are easily accommodated at the ranch.

The exclusivity of this property is exceptional. Its availability represents the opportunity to become one of only three property owners secluded behind locked gates that have isolated over 50,000 acres of magnificent land and prime big-game habitat for decades.
