Lot 51: 20 Acres Gently Sloping Aspens, Ponds and Meadow!

This property is one of my favorite. About 75% of this property is gently sloping aspens. The middle has a year round stream and ponds filled with trout. Toward the east is about 2 acres of a 5 acres meadow. Perfect for building or planting or just watching animals.

This property is currently off the market, but will be listed for about $299,000.00 as soon as the snow melts. Long term seller financing is available with 20% down. Seller will do contract to sell with 30 year amortization at 8% and no balloon.

Lot 49: 20 acres - SOLD

This property has been SOLD!

Access to this property is through someone else's gated property or back out to Aspen Hollow rd. It is fully wooded with aspens and a few pines on the north facing slope, and scrub oak and sage on the south facing slope. There is an atv trail that goes through it, and just after the end of the ATV trail ends, there is a wallow and then a spring on the adjacent property. There are no water rights associated with property and access is seasonal. At least one elk was taken on this property last year.

Directions:

Follow the Direction on the Directions Page to the Woodland Crest gate (A). However, at (B) on the map below, do not follow the turn. Instead, take the fork to the left and continue onto Aspen Hollow Rd. Keep going straight up the hill on Aspen Hollow Road until you are almost to the top (C). At which time you follow the road to the right (ignoring a few ATV trails). After going for a about 100 yards (D), turn left onto an obvious road that goes down hill. Toward the bottom of the hill (E), the road hits a sharp bend and begins to head back up hill toward a white gate. At that sharp bend, there is a jeep trail that follows the draw down hill. Take that draw. When the jeep trail turns into an ATV trail you are basically at the property.

Access:

In summer the road can be access by a vehicle with decent clearance, but 4x4 is recommended. A sedan could probably make it if you are careful. In the winter the road is plowed to (B) on the map. Past that you could ride snow mobiles, snow shoe or ski.

Building:

Building requirement are the same as the rest of the land. See FAQ's. In fact, almost all of the FAQ's apply to this land as well.

FAQ

If you have any questions feel free to post a comment below.

Q: How easy would it be to build?

A: The requirements to build are the same as anywhere else in the county. For a new building permit you would need to improve the road sufficiently for the fire marshal to be happy, have sufficient water rights for a well and exterior sprinkler system in case of fire, and get a septic plan approved. For power, you could pull from the neighbors or install an off grid solar system. However, rather than building from scratch, it would be immensely more simple just to improve the existing cabin.

Q: How close are utilities?

A: The seller doesn't have much information about utilities. Most people in the area use generators. If power can come from Wolfcreek Ranch than it is within a couple hundred yards. Otherwise is much further. An off grid solar network is a recommended solution.

Sewer would require septic. According to former owners, at one time a septic plan was approved for the cabin, but never installed.

Q: What about water rights/shares?

A: Although there are no water rights included with this property, water rights can be purchased for the drainage. They then would have to be transferred to the property. In order to build you would have to purchase sufficient water rights and develop springs or drill a well. The water table is shallow and drilling a well shouldn't be too difficult.

Q: Why is the road so rough?

A: Bridge Hollow Rd. can be found on the original USGS survey of the area from the late 1800's, which can be obtained at the state BLM office. However, since the HOA dissolved there are no HOA fees and therefore no revenue to maintain the road. Each year some owners do a little and some do more than others. Donations for road work have begun and $6,000.00 will get the road passable for most 4 wheel drive vehicles. $30,000 will get a sedan up to the cabin.

Q: How many homes could be built?

A: The plots are in P160 zoning and cannot be further sub divided. However, they are "grandfathered in" and you likely could build one domicile on each plot (5).

Q: What is the access like?

A: Access through the gate is controlled by the neighbors. Upon purchasing the property you will be given contact information so that you will know if and when the gate code changes. You can purchase a remote for $10. In summer a 4x4 vehicle is recommended, although a 2 wheel drive vehicle with decent clearance could probably make it. In the winter the road is plowed by the year round owners to arrow B on the map.  To access in the winter you would need a snow vehicle, skis or snow shoes.

Q: Can I hunt up there?

A: Yes. As long as you have the proper permit to hunt, neighbors hunt all over the subdivision. Immediate family would be fine as well, but don't invite your buddies unless you want to stick to your own property.

Q: Can I ride ATVs? Snowmobiles?

A: There are lots of trails for ATV's within the subdivision and you can ride them all. Stay on the trails and the neighbors won't mind. Snowmobiles can go wherever, as long as you respect other's property, there is plenty of space to go.

Welcome To Bridge Hollow!

Bridge Hollow is a very rare piece of mountain paradise located in the Woodland Crest subdivision. It is filled with stands of aspen, several trout filled ponds, springs and a year round stream. Originally an HOA that included Woodland Estates, but dissolved years ago. Now, with no HOA fees, the area is a beautiful solitary oasis surrounded by Wolf Creek Ranch and Victory Ranch. There are only 6 cabins located within thousands of acres of open land ready for recreation.

The entire subdivision and surrounding properties are private land. Within the subdivision the owners allow common use with the exception of developed areas. For example, you could hike, hunt, snowmobile on another's property as long as you are respectful and avoid bothering them. With that being said, the owners enjoy their solitude.

Wolf Creek Ranch and Victory Ranch are private property which is fenced in some places, and some places it is not. If you decide to venture outside the subdivision you might be kindly asked to wonder back. Other forms of recreating on Wolf Creek Ranch and Victory Ranch (e.g. motor sports, hunting) would very easily result in the Sheriff being called.

Also within a short drive you can access Jordanelle Reservoir and the Unita-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.

Properties listed in this subdivision come and go, so check back often.

Directions

FROM PARK CITY: Head East on highway 248 from Park City toward Kamas. At the light in Kamas turn south (right) toward Francis and Woodland.

FROM HEBER: Head North out of town on Hwy 189. Continue on Hwy 189 by turning right at the light onto N State Rd 32 toward Francis.

FROM FRANCIS: From the only stop sign in Francis, head East on Route 35. As the road makes its way toward the river, turn South at the LDS church onto Bench Creek Road. Cross the upper Provo River and as the road curves East, continue South toward the white gate that says "Woodland Crest." A gate code is required.

From the gate (0.0 miles from gate), follow the asphalt on Aspen Hollow Rd. Follow the asphalt around an S curve and after 0.6 miles, you will have the option to go left and up or right.

Stay right and the asphalt road should immediately turn back toward Provo River valley on Woodland View Dr. About 1.1 miles from the gate, the asphalt will end.

Follow the gravel road to the left. About 1.3 miles from the gate the road will turn Southwest toward Bridge Hollow and onto Bridge Hollow Rd. About 1.5 miles from the gate the gravel will end and the road becomes very rocky for a time. Follow this road ignoring a private drive to the left, two options to the right and two to the left, and 2.1 miles from the gate you will see a chain and no trespassing sign on the left.

At 2.2 miles after the Woodland Crest gate there will be a private gate on the left immediately before a stream crossing.

Cross the stream and go up the hill. After 2.4 miles from the Woodland Crest gate, you will see a private gate on the right.

Continue on. After 2.8 miles from the Woodland Crest gate you will see a turn out on the left and a green and white cabin on the right with as sign above the door that says "Porcupine.

The turnout to the left goes to a viewing area that serves as an example of a potential build site for lot 44. Continue on the road past Porcupine Cabin and take your first left. Stay left all the way down the hill until you get to the pond on lot 51 (3.4 miles from the Woodland Crest gate).

Follow the road across the stream and up the hill on the other side. At the split, right goes toward lot 52, left goes up to the meadow. As you get to the meadow there is a turn out on the right as an example of a potential building site for lot 51.

At the next fork, right is lot 53 and left goes up the hill to a final turn out on lot 46.

A lot of work has been done on the road recently. A sedan should be able to make it if your are careful, however 4x4 is still recommended. Cellular service is hit or miss up there depending on service provider, so do not rely on gps.
