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 topography of the deeded acreage and the abundance of live water and wildlife habitat lend itself to protection. There is buildable land on both sides of the river with the majority of its acreage available for development lying on the south side of the ranch overlooking the river corridor. We are confident that both regional and national land trusts would like to be considered as easement holders for such a spectacular and important private holding in the Upper Provo River Valley.

FREESTONE RIVER RANCH ACREAGE Acreage: Freestone River Ranch is comprised of 204 deeded acres of lush meadows. The Upper Provo River has a healthy cottonwood tree-lined corridor and a beautiful meandering spring creek. It connects 8 different oxbow ponds while bisecting the ranch. Expansive landscape and mountain views both up and down the Upper Provo River Valley provide a stunning backdrop. Serving as the focal point, over 1 mile of both sides of Upper Provo River meander through the heart of the ranch providing action-packed freestone river fishing for healthy trophy brown, rainbow and cutthroat trout. The deeded acreage is comprised of land in two different counties: Summit County on the north side of the river and Wasatch County on the south side. This diverse terrain provides a unique setting ranging from healthy riparian bottomland and excellent river fishing, to picturesque, open spring creek meadows. The spring creek continues all the way to the elevated acreage on the south, transitioning to aspen groves and further bench ground overlooking the ranch. Water Rights: The Provo River provides irrigation and water rights for the lush meadows of the Freestone River Ranch. 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 dozens of springs originating on the property. Please contact the listing broker for more detail on water rights information.

Operational Considerations: While currently managed as a trophy sporting ranch, the Freestone River Ranch offers an array of options from an agricultural standpoint. An incoming owner could run a modest cattle operation and/or horse ranch with substantial pasture for grazing and the potential for producing a hay crop. The entire ranch is perimeter fenced.

FREESTONE RIVER RANCH WILDLIFE AND HUNTING 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. 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 bird life, 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 trophyquality 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.

Live Water: The ranch controls 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 streams in the country. The river is divided into three sections, upper, middle and lower. The Upper Provo is the portion of river that runs through the ranch. It is a combination of riffles, runs, and pools with ample holding water for large fish. The ranch s location upstream of Jordonelle Reservoir is especially significant as the river sees large numbers of lake fish that move up through the system to spawn. Due to the high quality fishery habitat, 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 1 mile of private spring creek including 5 distinct oxbow ponds. The presence of the spring creek system provides an incoming owner with various fishing options that offer year round angling during the river s runoff. The runoff season varies from year to year based on snowpack in the high country. When this necessary seasonal event occurs, fishing on the spring creek and the ponds is a fantastic option to have onsite. Although already enhanced and highly productive, the spring creek system could be further improved and sculpted to match one s fishing style and needs.

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. Vail Resorts acquired two of the three ski resorts in Park City in 2014, and it can be said that made the resort town one of the nation s best ski destinations. These Park City ski areas are blessed with consistent deep, dry and fluffy powder year after year, which is why SKI Magazine rated the resort one of the top three ski resorts in North America in each of the past ten years. Park City Mountain Resort (PCMR) and Canyons Resort offer 16 lifts serving 114 runs and nine powder-filled bowls. The resort is 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 Main Street.
