About this home
Situated within a region renowned for its vast landscapes, abundant wildlife, and exceptional recreational opportunities, lies the 2575 Ranch. Featuring expansive rangeland, diverse wildlife habitat, dependable water resources, and excellent year-round accessibility, the ranch offers outstanding potential for grazing, recreation, or long-term investment. The 2575 Ranch encompasses approximately 2,575 +/- deeded acres of diverse and highly usable terrain with sweeping views of the Abajo and La Sal Mountains. Across the ranch, expansive CRP fields and native grasslands gradually transition into gently rolling hills, broad benches, shallow draws, and dense stands of pinyon-juniper, creating a landscape equally suited for livestock operations, wildlife habitat, and recreation. Rather than offering a single type of terrain, the ranch provides exceptional diversity, with each portion contributing its own unique character while blending seamlessly into one cohesive property. Water is one of the ranch's defining features. An impressive reservoir serves as a dependable water source for livestock and wildlife, while additional ponds, including one located on the northern portion of the ranch, further enhances the property's appeal. The combination of water, native vegetation, and varied topography creates excellent habitat throughout the ranch while supporting day-to-day livestock operations. Currently enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), the ranch has been carefully maintained over the years while also providing an established source of income of approximately $26,110. Native rangeland, healthy stands of sagebrush, and dense pinyon-juniper pockets provide an excellent balance of forage, cover, and habitat across the property. Much of the ranch is perimeter fenced, making it well suited for grazing. Accessibility is another standout feature of the 2575 Ranch. US 491 borders the property, providing convenient year-round access, while numerous county roads offer multiple entry points throughout the ranch. Power is available along portions of the property, presenting excellent opportunities for future improvements should the next owner choose to construct a cabin, hunting retreat, or a residence. Whether utilized as a cattle ranch, an exceptional recreational property, or a long-term investment, the Pearson Wash Ranch offers the rare combination of size, accessibility, water resources, and landscape diversity that is increasingly difficult to find in today's market. The 2575 Ranch is ideally positioned in one of southeastern Utah's premier outdoor recreation destinations. Within approximately an hour of the property, one can experience some of the most iconic landscapes in the American West. The nearby Abajo Mountains offer cool alpine forests, scenic drives, hiking, camping, and seasonal hunting opportunities, while Manti-La Sal National Forest provides thousands of acres to explore. Just over an hour north, the world-renowned town of Moab serves as a gateway to Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park, offering endless opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, Jeep and UTV adventures, rock climbing, rafting, and sightseeing. To the south, the historic community of Bluff provides access to the San Juan River, Valley of the Gods, Goosenecks State Park, Comb Ridge, and countless archaeological and cultural sites throughout Bears Ears National Monument. The nearby Indian Creek area has earned international recognition for its world-class rock climbing while also offering outstanding camping and backcountry recreation. Surrounded by vast expanses of BLM land, National Forest, and National Monument landscapes, the 2575 Ranch provides an exceptional basecamp for exploring the remarkable public lands and outdoor opportunities that have made southeastern Utah one of the country's most unique recreational destinations.
