123 OLD US HIGHWAY 91 HWY, Ivins, UT 84738

Description

Located in the far southwestern corner of Utah, this 151-acre property offers a combination of commercial zoning, substantial water rights, paved access, and a location surrounded by public conservation land. Situated entirely within the Beaver Dam Wash National Conservation Area (NCA), this private inholding provides direct access from Highway 91 while remaining just minutes from Beaver Dam, Arizona, and Santa Clara, Utah. The property is zoned C-2 Highway Commercial, allowing for a variety of potential uses, subject to local approvals and applicable regulations. Combined with more than 13 acre-feet of attached water rights, the parcel presents opportunities for commercial, residential, recreational, agricultural, or other permitted development. A 212-foot, 6-inch well equipped with a 500-gallon holding tank is located near the northeast corner of the parcel. The available water allocation is reported to support approximately 28 full-time domestic units or approximately 52 part-time domestic uses, subject to applicable approvals and water regulations. Primary access is provided by Highway 91, which crosses the property from southwest to northeast. Lytle Ranch Road also originates on the property, providing additional access into the surrounding area. Utility power is located approximately three miles north, while the property's climate and open landscape may be suitable for privately designed solar energy systems, subject to engineering, permitting, and utility requirements. The property's elevation ranges from approximately 3,627 feet to 4,094 feet, creating varied terrain with multiple potential building locations and expansive desert views. Native vegetation includes creosote bush, white bursage, blackbrush, Joshua trees, and other Mojave Desert plant communities. The surrounding conservation area provides habitat for numerous wildlife species, including desert bighorn sheep, mule deer, and more than 180 documented bird species. The area also supports the federally protected Mojave Desert tortoise, and future land use should comply with all applicable environmental regulations. A notable feature of the property is Castle Cliff, a historic landmark located near the center of the parcel. The property also lies along portions of the historic Old Spanish Trail and was once the location of a historic way station serving travelers moving between Utah and California. Outdoor recreation opportunities are abundant throughout the surrounding conservation area. The Beaver Dam Wash National Conservation Area contains an extensive network of designated roads and trails suitable for hiking, wildlife viewing, mountain biking, hunting where permitted, camping in designated areas, and off-highway vehicle travel on approved routes. Nearby Revenant Trail has become a recognized mountain biking destination, while Kelly's Rock offers established rock climbing opportunities with numerous climbing routes nearby. The property's location places it within a landscape where the Mojave Desert and Great Basin ecosystems meet, creating a unique transition zone with diverse plant and animal communities. The area's warm, dry climate allows for outdoor recreation through much of the year outside of the hottest summer months. The rural setting also provides exceptionally dark night skies, with a Bortle Class 3 rating and a reported sky brightness of approximately 21.8 magnitudes, making the area suited for astronomical observation and nighttime photography. Although surrounded by more than 63,500 acres of Bureau of Land Management-managed conservation lands, this remains privately owned property with direct paved access. The surrounding conservation area limits future development on adjacent public lands, helping preserve the natural character of the surrounding landscape while still allowing access to many recreational opportunities. The property is located approximately 15 miles southwest of Santa Clara, Utah, approximately 8 miles northeast of Beaver D
