This $72.5 Million Utah Ranch's 7,000+ Rugged Acres Include a Backcountry Camp
An absolutely massive ranch just an hour from Salt Lake City could become one of the most expensive properties ever sold in Utah.
Sheep Creek Canyon Ranch in Morgan County, all 7,000-plus acres of it, has just hit the market for an incredible $72.5 million. Along with vast open spaces, the property includes a French-inspired main home, a speakeasy/guest house, and equestrian facilities. There's even a backcountry tented camp. Sam R. Sanders and Tim Anderson at Swan Land Company hold the listing.

'Water resources are what separate ranches in Utah, and there is categorically nothing like this for sale right now,' Sanders said in a statement. 'The thoughtfully designed, luxurious main home in combination with the speakeasy and equestrian facilities are stunning, but over four miles of live water are really the icing on the cake. With unmatched privacy yet incredible accessibility, water resources, and limitless recreational opportunities, this is one of the finest properties one can buy in the West at this time.'

Situated a couple miles downstream of the East Fork Reservoir, the ranch includes more than a mile of the East Fork River and more than three miles of Sheep Creek. The former offers avenues for trout fishing, while on the land you're likely to spot bull elk and mule deer. Recreationally, trails are available for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. And nearby is some of Utah's best skiing and golfing.
When it comes to livability, the 6,500-square-foot main residence offers five bedrooms, all with ensuite baths. Offered fully furnished, the home sports a modern French farmhouse aesthetic, with mint green cabinetry in several rooms, a stately home office, and an old-school safe, which is the centerpiece of the mudroom. The speakeasy, meanwhile, is situated above the garage and designed for casual entertaining. The wood-and-brick structure is meant to harken back to 1920s New York City, with lush velvet seating in the living area and a billiards table accompanied by a bar for slinging drinks. There are also two bedrooms for guests who might pop in from time to time.
Classic ranch-faring activities include a barn equipped with four horse stalls, a tack room, feed storage, and a wash stall. The animals can graze outside in fenced corrals and paddocks. And, for those who like to get out into the wilderness without all the conveniences of a home, the southern portion of the property has a backcountry campsite with a rustic wall tent, wood stove, camp shower, outhouse, and—its own version of luxury—a wood-fired hot tub for extra of Robb Report
