This mountain property comprises Skinner Canyon Ag Lots one and two with a documented legal easement access driveway through the adjacent lot three. Overhead power has already been pulled onto the southeast corner of lot two along the seasonal access driveway, where a previously cleared cabin build site awaits rejuvenation.Build the cabin of your dreams and create your perfect oasis escape on this scenic Bear River Mountain Range property. Enjoy the panoramic views of the mountains and valley from the high vantage point at the apex of the property. Much of the terrain is steep sloping ground covered primarily with grasses and light sage. Relax to the gentle sounds of the aspen leaves rustling in the canyon breeze and the babbling brook gingerly flowing through the trees in the wooded section below. In the fall, the lush evergreen carpeted mountainside view is particularly vibrant when in contrast with the golden leaves and white trunk of the aspens and the brilliant red and orange leaves of the other deciduous trees. There are many signs that wildlife is drawn to this property, with the year-round creek and natural vegetation providing shelter and habitat. Signs of grouse, deer, moose and elk are evident.
