Anyone with $45 million could buy a sprawling ranch in northern Utah that stretches across four counties. Once home to Debbi Fields
of Mrs. Fields Cookies fame, the property on 200,683 acres is being
sold as a turnkey operation complete with homes, furnishings, ranch
equipment and machinery, cattle, grazing permits, water rights, trophy
elk hunting rights and mineral rights. Touted as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of the American West, River View Ranch
is listed by Kerry Oman and Thomas Wright of Summit Sotheby's
International Realty. “It’s just an incredible opportunity for
somebody,” said Oman. “These large tracts of land rarely come up for
sale.” The ranch gets its name from the Woodland, Utah estate where the
17,000-square-foot European-style manor sits on a bluff overlooking the
Provo River, about 30 minutes from Park City, Utah. Winter rangeland
near Vernon, Utah encompasses about 50,000 acres. The total deeded
acreage of the ranch is 41,237 acres. In addition to the 10 bedrooms, the Woodland estate includes 14
bathrooms, 11 fireplaces, three family rooms, a large gourmet kitchen,
formal dining room with woodwork imported from Europe, a great room with
walls and ceilings covered in black walnut, an office with teak and
walnut woodwork and a basement where one can unwind in the sauna, shoot
pool or cozy up to the bar that was imported from Scotland. The
ranch headquarters in Grouse Creek, Utah includes three homes, a bunk
house, a large shop used for equipment and storage, hay barns, a
livestock barn, tack room and corrals. Take a virtual tour by clicking here to watch the video. An online brochure gives detailed information about the property...MORE
They are still trying, unsuccessfully, to compete with the Cattle Kingdoms Triumvirate of Corona, Claunch & Cedarvale. This Utah home would barely suffice as a bunkhouse in Triple C country.
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.

Now that's funny Frank!! Triple C Country will undoubtedly see an uptick in tourism at this point!
LMAO! FRANK let us not forget those north east spots -- not as swanky as Claunch but close like Blind gap or Pasamonte! They would not have a shack like that on the place!! LOL
