This 80 acre ranch (50 of which are irrigated) includes two cabins, two ponds, numerous outbuildings, and the transference of a thriving outfitting and guiding business. A 57,000 guiding permit will be transferred to the purchaser of J/L Ranch by the current owner upon approval of the United States Forest Service. There are 4 large barns. One log barn with six stalls, grain room, tack room, and a wash bay. There is a three bedroom, one bath apartment above this barn. There is a large hay barn that can store 80 tons of hay with a large overhang on one side and a covered sawdust/storage barn on the other side. There is another large hay barn on the west 40 acres with a food storage shelter. There are two open facing sheds for horses. There are two large storage sheds that were made into bunkhouses for seasonal employees. There is a small log cabin with one large bedroom and a loft with two twins. Full bath that is recently remodeled. It is used as an Airbnb rental. They have rented out their two cabins that can sleep 10 people exclusively on Airbnb. They have been on Airbnb's Super Host list for several years. Recently, they have remained closed, but the demand has been strong for year-round occupancy. The winter Olympics are coming back to Utah soon. In 2001 the Forest Service encouraged the owners to expand with a winter business and offered the opportunity to build yurts at high country camp sites to accommodate snowmobilers and cross-country skiers. They are eager to show the world that the Uintah Mountains have something grand to offer the intrepid outdoorsman or outdoorswoman. A new owner could expand this business. The owners live in a renovated two/bedroom one bath cabin on the ranch that is also included in the sale of the property. In addition, there is a 30x40 ft. shop with finished wood interior and cabinets, plus a central electric start furnace.

The current owners have not allowed hunting on the ranch for 30 years and there were elk, mule deer, and turkeys in the hay fields as recently as April of 2024. The deer will stay on the ranch throughout the entire year, while the elk migrate back to their winter roving grounds in October. The owners counted 19 bulls this spring that were 6x6 and 6x7 in a bachelor group. Hunting above the ranch 1/2 mile on the Ashley National Forest has been fair game to our hunters that intercept elk entering the ranch. The Reservation land adds a buffer surrounding the ranch that keeps out state hunters. When the elk leave the National Forest, they cross 1/2 mile of Indian land that is not hunted and bed down right on the ranch. Tribal hunters don't hunt the area very often. There are two ponds on property. The largest and deepest one has fostered rainbow trout up to 10lbs in the past, but currently are only inhabited by brook trout. This is a horse property. There will never be any visible traffic or noise. The only sounds are birds and rushing water. Whiterocks canyon is one mile to the East. The Whiterocks river is very popular with the ranch's fly fishing guests. Robert Redford filmed scenes from the movie, Jeremiah Johnson in this canyon. In addition, one five acre pasture is surrounded by a six foot game fence that would make a great buffalo or exotic game pasture with a stream running
