The USFS has developed a spring at the upper end of the canyon, which supplies a steady stream of water to several tanks located in the lower end of the canyon. One of these tanks is conveniently located on this property, providing a reliable water source for livestock and local wildlife.There are several potential building sites on the property, one of which is elevated, providing fantastic views of the surrounding mountain ranges. Power is approximately 3 miles away; however, the property has good southern exposure setting up the possibility for an alternative energy source.Local attractions include the Big Lost River and Mackay Reservoir, both of which are known for great rainbow trout fishing. This area is also known for its well-established and community-supported ATV/UTV trail network. The nearby towns of Arco and Mackay offer just about everything one would need to live a country lifestyle.Properties like this do not come to market often.
