About This Property

This 289-acre agricultural property in Garfield County, Utah, offers a high-quality opportunity for hay production, boasting 225 acres under pivot irrigation. The farm utilizes a three-way rotational system with Alfalfa, Triticale, and Timothy, ensuring optimal forage quality for both horse breeders and owners. With an average yield of 5-6 tons per acre annually, this property produces premium hay used primarily for high-end equestrian operations, including champion-level rodeo horses. Over the years, the farm management has consistently improved the output by utilizing advanced farming practices and reducing inputs. Recent Dairy One Forage Testing has shown that the hay produced on this land ranks in the 'high' quality category across various parameters, including Dry Matter, Crude Protein, ADF, NDF, TDN, and overall feed value. The farm's output is recognized for delivering the essential nutrients needed to support top-performing horses, making it a prime choice for breeders looking for premium-quality feed. In addition to the farm's high-quality hay production, the property features a robust water management system, including an updated water delivery system with holding ponds and a new custom pivot system using a variable frequency drive (VFD) for efficient irrigation. The property is also supplied with plenty of irrigation shares and water rights, ensuring the long-term viability of the operation. The land is fenced on two sides, providing security for livestock or equipment storage. There are no structures currently on the property, but there are several excellent locations to build a home or additional storage facilities. This gives the buyer flexibility in how they wish to use the land. Road access is another key feature of this property, with excellent paved roads to the property and gravel roads leading directly to the haybarn. Additionally, the internal road network ensures easy movement of equipment and hay bales across the property. The property is ideally located just 6 miles from Panguitch, UT, and is approximately halfway between Salt Lake City and Las Vegas, providing convenient access to major transportation routes, markets, and recreational areas.
