The property lies within the east end of the Elba Valley along the Cassia Creek and one mile west of the Conner Creek Junction.

Cassia Creek meanders approximately one mile through the meadows and supplies stockwater as well as a great fishing stream.

The irrigated cropland/pasture acreage is located along Cassia Creek and is comprised primarily of gravity and sub-irrigated meadow lands. The irrigated land is used in hay production.

The seller has been running approximately 50 head of mother cows year round on the property. The property is fenced and cross fenced for ease of rotation. There are incredible water rights consisting of five decreed water rights from Cassia Creek and two decreed rights from springs. These seven water rights are limited to a total combined diversion rate of 4.5 cfs on 177 total acres. Three of the five irrigation water rights are considered to have priority as old as the 1800's. According to the seller, there are approximately 200 acres on the subject that are “wet” either by irrigation or “sub” irrigation.

This is an ideal ranch located in the heart of cattle country. The dry grazing is situated on the side hills above the meadow and are comprised, primarily, of native vegetation. Livestock water on all pastures are provided by a combination of Cassia Creek and springs. The original farmstead is nestled in the trees on the southwest portion of the property in a secluded location with good access to county maintained roads.
