 Sawtooth Timbers
Box Elder County, Utah
160 Acres
$1,600,000
160 acres of huge pines and seclusion surrounded by thousands of acres of forest land.
LOCATION: Located about ten miles east of Yost, Idaho in Northern
Utah within the Sawtooth National Forest, Raft
River Range,
and George Creek drainage.
DESCRIPTION: 160 acre quarter section - 1/2 mile
x 1/2 mile. The Sawtooth National Forest Service surrounds all four
sides. Elevation ranges from approximately 8,200 ft to 9,000 ft.
The land has some areas as steep as 55% grade but there are several flat or
semi flat places to allow for cabin sites, etc. The property was
originally owned by the railroad. Until the summer of 2006 it had no
roads and to that time had never had a vehicle on it. It is virgin
property and timber. It is currently unzoned in Box Elder County, but the
agent has been told a building permit can be given with water shares.
ROADS: A new road has recently been
constructed to the heart of the property. However it does not reach the
major stream. The main stream, George
Creek, requires about a
200 yard hike. The existing road has not been graded with a motor grader.
The access road can be gated at property line.
TIMBER
AND VEGETATION: Of
the 160 acres, approximately 130 are timbered. Timber species are Douglas
Fir, Engelmann Spruce, Sub Alpine Fir, and Quaking Aspen. Many of the
spruce reach a height of 110 ft. plus, and 4 ft diameter breast high. It
is estimated that more than 1000 trees will yield 1000 board feet or more, and
some as much as 3,500 board feet. There is a significant amount of down fall
from 15 to 20 years past. About 70% of the property is heavily timbered.
Gooseberry bushes are abundant and as well as many wild mountain flowers.
FENCING: The property is not fenced on the
boundaries. However, 2 sides, the south and east, do have fences but they are
not on the boundaries.
UTILITIES: There are no utilities on the
property. Electric power is about 5 miles from the property. However power can
be generated from propane tanks. There are currently no water rights yet. A
drain-field septic system can be installed.
STREAMS: George Creek
is the main stream and flows approximately 3/8 mile through the property year
round. There are several small streamlets, but they normally dry up about the
beginning of August. There are several small springs, some of which flow
annually. George Creek is beautiful with many small
falls, chutes and pools. Timber grows to the stream bank on both sides in most
areas.
WILDLIFE:
George Creek has abundant native cutthroat trout.
They are pan size to 10" in length. Mule deer are plentiful with an
occasional moose. Some coyotes and other small animals such as chipmunks,
rabbits, hawks and other birds roam the property.
ACCESSIBILITY: From Naff, Idaho, travel west about 6 miles then turn
south about 2 miles. Next, go 5 miles up One Mile Creek to One Mile Summit on the
maintained county road. Then turn south towards "The Meadows", which
is 4 miles on narrow and slow road. From the One Mile Summit to the property is
4.5 miles and about a 30 minute drive. Four wheel drive vehicles are recommended.
LOGGING: Approximately 2.5 acres were
selectively logged in the summer 2006.
