Description

Hat Springs Ranch, a sprawling 4,440-acre property situated on the Utah-Idaho border near Malta, Idaho, presents a unique opportunity for agricultural and recreational pursuits. This working cattle and horse ranch boasts 1,600 acres of deeded land and 2,800 acres leased from the State of Idaho, offering a diverse landscape encompassing irrigated pastures, grazing land, and the foothills of the Raft River and Bally Mountains. The ranch features two feedlots with a capacity exceeding 900 head of cattle, supported by a gravity-fed water system originating from three year-round springs. Approximately 350 acres are currently under irrigation using pivots and hand lines, yielding over 3 tons of alfalfa per acre and even higher yields for grass mixes. The property includes extensive fencing (excluding a portion of a southern hillside), equipment sheds, cattle chutes, pens, corrals, and walk-in/tack sheds for horses. The ranch has historically supported up to 600 head of cattle during winter months. The diverse terrain provides excellent hunting opportunities, with abundant wildlife including mule deer, mountain lion, elk, turkey, and grouse, and direct access to the USFS. Recreational activities such as mountain biking, backpacking, fishing, camping, ATVing, and horseback riding are readily available. Recent improvements include new cross-fencing and a shed for processing pasture-raised beef, along with ongoing improvements to increase stocking rates on the upper 350 acres of pasture. The property is conveniently located within a pleasant drive of Salt Lake City. The asking price is $4,950,000.
