HIGH DESERT RED ROCK CAVES. 54.61 acres of majestic high desert slick rock, juniper, and sage along Hatch Wash, the major drainage from the Abajo Mountains to the Colorado River. The property boasts La Sal Mountain views to the northeast and Abajo Mountain views to the southwest. From high on the slick rock ridge overlooking the property, you see the immensity of Hatch Wash and appreciate the property’s historical significance as a watering hole frequented by the Dominguez-Escalante exploration group in the 18th century. If the raw land isn’t enough, the slick rock ridge drops off to a level sagebrush basin featuring five man-made rock caves carved into the sandstone cliff wall. Three of the caves are promising living quarters. A secured cave houses the wells’ pressure system and a bank of solar batteries. The smallest cave is used for storage. The property has two proven, certified wells and 3.5 acre-feet of water rights. There is an existing 1980 single-wide manufactured home, which can be used as temporary living quarters for as many years as it takes to build your dream home. Next to the home is a spacious root cellar measuring approximately 12′ x 10′ and 10 feet high. The manufactured home is fully wired for electrical service from solar panels and is connected to a septic system. The property is ready to go for an off-grid lifestyle with ample water for the any number of trees you might wish to plant, and a future garden of any size. Drive through the gate and prepare to be amazed.
