Great creekfront property near the Strawberry Pinnacles in Fruitland, Utah. Red Creek meanders along portions of the west and south sides of the ranch near the home, which rests on 3.5 acres within this 640-acre property. A gazebo overlooking the creek provides an ideal setting for relaxing or fishing for Rainbow and Cutthroat Trout. Red Creek flows north to south from Red Creek Reservoir toward the Strawberry River, which runs between Starvation and Strawberry Reservoirs. Improvements near the home include a shop, a lean-to, a shed, a pumphouse, and a covered party pavilion. Across the paved road from this private oasis off Utah Highway 40 lies approximately 640 acres of mountain ground, featuring multiple secluded water sources that attract wildlife, along with a diverse and productive mix of native vegetation. Game Management Area 17B/17C (Wasatch Mountains East) supports quality herds of elk, deer, and moose. Mule deer frequently move through the home site, Red Creek corridor, and surrounding property. Current owners have often hunted migrating cow elk just across the road. Black-Bear, mountain lion, bobcat, coyote, and other furbearing animals are present in the area. Turkey hunting is also a popular and rewarding activity in the area. Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep are found throughout Utah's northern and eastern mountain ranges, including the Wasatch and Uinta Mountains and areas near Flaming Gorge.
