Located in scenic Garfield County, Utah, this 444-acre agricultural property offers a substantial opportunity for quality hay production. Approximately 325 acres of the property are in high-elevation, pivot-irrigated hay ground, optimized for yield and quality with a rotational planting system of Alfalfa, Triticale, and Timothy. This rotation has consistently supported 5 to 6 tons per acre in average annual production, supported by reliable water rights and infrastructure. The farm's forage has been tested by Dairy One Forage Lab, confirming high rankings across categories such as Dry Matter, Crude Protein, ADF, NDF, TDN, and overall feed value. Due to this consistent quality, the hay produced here has primarily served high-performance horse operations, including championship-level rodeo horses. Production quality is further enhanced by the use of advanced equipment and soil management practices. Staheli West steamers are used to ensure optimal hay curing, and covered hay barns protect the product year-round. The soil is maintained through biological methods, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and eliminating the use of pesticides. Included on the property is a custom-built 3,400-square-foot home featuring five bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. The home has been well maintained, with modern upgrades throughout, and provides a functional residence on-site for owners or farm managers. Supporting infrastructure includes a three-sided, 10,000-square-foot hay barn, a heated 2,700-square-foot shop, and 3,600 square feet of additional covered parking. An updated irrigation system includes holding ponds and a custom pivot system with a variable frequency drive (VFD), allowing efficient water delivery and adaptability to changing conditions. The property has excellent road access, including paved routes up to the entry and maintained gravel roads within the parcel for equipment and vehicle movement. It is situated approximately halfway between Salt Lake City and Las Vegas, providing access to regional markets, suppliers, and recreation. The land has potential for continued agricultural use, equestrian operations, and possible expansion.
