6 Conservation Easement: Given the rich recreational diversity of the Freestone River Ranch with its proximity to one of the country s most sought after and ever growing ski resort towns, the ranch would be an ideal candidate for protection via conservation easement. The gentle topopraphy of the majority of the deeded acreage and the abundance of live water and wildlife habitat lend itself to protection. There are numerous choice home sites on the ranch. We are confident that both regional and national land trusts would love to be considered as easement holders for such a spectacular and important private holding in the Upper Provo River Valley.

7 FREESTONE RIVER RANCH ACREAGE Acreage: Freestone River Ranch is comprised of 122 deeded acres of lush meadows bordered by the Upper Provo River with its healthy cottonwood tree lined corridor and a beautiful meandering spring creek connecting 8 different oxbow ponds. Expansive landscape and mountain views both up and down the Upper Provo River Valley provide endless postcard worthy vistas. Serving as the focal point, the 1+ mile of Upper Provo River frontage flows along the ranch s southern boundary providing action packed freestone river fishing for healthy trophy brown, rainbow and cutthroat trout. The ranch is located in Summit County on the north side of the Upper Provo River. The ranch provides a unique setting ranging from healthy riparian bottomland with towering cottonwoods and live water river fishing, to picturesque open spring creek meadows with views transitioning to aspen groves and elevated bench ground above the ranch and all the way to Deer Valley Ski Resort and the mountains surrounding Park City. Water Rights: Irrigation water rights for the lush meadows of the Freestone River Ranch are provided by the Provo River. The ranch has historically been flood irrigated for pasture. In addition to the water rights from the Provo, the ranch is naturally sub-irrigated via literally dozens of springs originating on the property. Please contact listing broker for more detail on water rights information.

8 Operational Considerations: While currently managed as a trophy sporting ranch, the Freestone River Ranch also offers an array of options from an agricultural standpoint. An incoming owner could run a modest cattle operation, along with some horses given the abundance of pasture which stays lush and green well into the summer season due to the sub irrigated nature of the ranch, along with water rights. The property is currently leased to a local rancher who grazes cattle on site, as well as puts up a hay crop.

9 Wildlife and Hunting: The natural healthy riparian corridor of the Upper Provo River Valley is a haven for wildlife. Both game and non-game species are abundant on the Freestone River Ranch. FREESTONE RIVER RANCH WILDLIFE AND HUNTING The cottonwood forest and lush grasses and forbs along the river provide ample feeding and bedding areas for both mule deer and Rocky Mountain elk. The ponds and spring creek provide first-class habitat for a plethora of birdlife, including ducks, geese, cranes and herons as well as various songbirds. Birds of prey such as red-tailed hawks, and osprey are frequent visitors and are often seen hunting in the meadows and along the waterways. The habitat on the ranch is of such high quality that any wildlife species native to the region of northern Utah may be spotted on that ranch at any given time. Various opportunities exist for the hunter on Freestone River Ranch for big game, waterfowl and small game species. The ranch falls in a general unit for deer and spike bull elk. The ranch falls within a limited entry unit for bull elk, which the state manages for trophy quality bulls. The hunt unit allows for the pursuit of cougar and black bear on the ranch during the specified seasons. Hunt applications must be submitted to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and the appropriate permits must be obtained prior to hunting.

10 Live Water: The ranch boasts over 1 mile of the Upper Provo River, a tightly held wade friendly fishery with trophy sized Brown, Rainbow and Cutthroat Trout. The Provo River is recognized as one of the top blue ribbon fly fishing stream in the country. The river is divided into three sections, upper, middle and lower. The stretch of river running along the ranch s southern boundary is part of the Upper Provo section. It is a combination of riffles runs and pools with lots of holding water for large fish. The ranch s location just upstream of Jordonelle reservoir is especially significant as the river sees big numbers of lake fish that move up through the system to spawn. Due to the high quality habitat on the ranch section, several of these fish tend to take up residence on the ranch. Fish in the 24-inch class are a regular occurrence, something that is incredibly rare on a freestone stretch of western water. In addition to the Provo River, there is over 1 mile of private spring creek including 8 distinct oxbow ponds. The presence of the spring creek system provides the owner with not only varied fishing options but also makes Freestone Ranch a true year round fishing ranch when the river is in run off mode. Run off time varies from year to year based on snowpack in the high country but when this necessary seasonal event occurs, fishing on the spring creek and the ponds is a fantastic option to have on site. Although already enhanced and highly productive, the spring creek system could be further improved and sculpted to match one fishing style and needs.

11 FREESTONE RIVER RANCH RECREATION Recreation: Not only is this trophy sporting ranch a great fishery, the ranch offers nearby winter recreational amenities as well as all-season resorts. Recent Ski Industry News: Vail Resorts acquired two of the three ski resorts in Park City in 2014, making the resort town quite arguably the nation s single best ski destination. These Park City ski areas are blessed with consistent deep, dry and fluffy powder year after year which is why the resort was rated one of the top three ski resorts in North America by SKI MAGAZINE in each of the past ten years. Park City Mountain Resort (PCMR) and Canyons ski areas offers 16 lifts serving 114 runs and nine powder-filled bowls. The resort is also well known for its four terrain parks and two half pipes. Another unique advantage to PCMR is its Park City proper location with a lift right off of Main Street.
