WHAT IF..... you could buy a property and turn it into a money-maker while you live in a glorious location? This is a sweet get-away in the canyon. Out here the skies are phenomenal! Count the stars... watch for comets... It is so amazing to view the night sky without all the lights of the city. Here are gorgeous canyon views, too, that you can enjoy from the wrap-around covered porch or while tending the orchard - which includes a variety of fruit trees - as well as grape vines, or from your dream garden. There is plenty of irrigation to keep the land productive and green! Appropriation Priority No. 1962-1, Ditch 1, Rock Creek Ditch, .40 c.f.s. No covenants. No HOA. Just one driveway apart from the popular and scenic Sand Canyon recreation area entrance, which offers more than 12 miles of trails fit for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. This 3.7 acre property includes a one-room rustic cabin - though not "so" rustic: it does have a kitchen with a propane oven/range, refrigerator, double sink, and cabinets. The cabin's interior walls and ceiling feature t&g wood for perfect cabin ambiance accented with a center tree post that adds unique character. Ceiling fans help with air circulation, aided by an AC unit for cooling and either a propane heater or electric fireplace for warmth. Domestic water is hauled in; waste is handled like camping - lined porta-pot, hauled out. Multiple outbuildings provide for animal shelter and plenty of storage. There is also a root cellar for keeping all of that canned fruit harvested from the orchard! If you want vegetables, as well, part of the property is currently unused and would make a perfect garden plot. Cross-fencing keeps it safe from animals, plus the irrigation water is piped in already and available. Check out this property if you have been looking for a place to share with vacationers! It may be the perfect spot to "dry" camp sites. Or how about TeePee camping! Horse hosting for those who bring their horses to the trails would be a great possibility, too. Maybe some other ideas that fit with all of the visitors to Sand Canyon all year long! The existing cabin would make a great office for space rentals, and could be rented out, as well - or even used for games and campsite dining. So many ideas! *Check with the county for any ideas you have!
