If it is not obvious from the plan drawing itself, I wanted to provide a brief description of the concept for the Main Ranch property.

There are three types of lots and three primary amenities. All the lot owners would have access to all the amentias. The first type of lot is a small (1.5-2 ac.) lots that would be for homes and typical residential landscaping only. They would be similar to suburban or resort style lots. The second type of lot is a larger lot size (10-20 ac.) and would be more like the Paint Rock Crossing “Transitional” lots. They would be large enough to support horses and horse facilities on their own lot. The large lots could also support individual private horse facilities. Note that some of the large lots are more remotely located. A potential buyer would have the option of being more secluded or closer to the creek and highway as well as cost and size options.

The first amenity is an equestrian center. This is a common boarding and training facility primarily for the small lot owners to board their horses which they ride on the BLM and on the private trails. This also offers an image element to give identity to the community and helps preserve the rural image of the area at he base of your hill and the entry to your ranch.

The second amenity is the creek and associated access easement. For the concept, I think that individual creek ownership is not the most desirable. I think that common ownership and unfettered access to the “Blue Ribbon” stream ads major value to every lot. Further, it serves as a natural corridor to the canyon BLM lands.

The third amenity is the one that is really unique (and I would imagine, worth a lot to many many people). It is the private hunting preserve on the mountain. The idea is that some a trail system could be developed in such a way that would provide access to much of the private land. The trails would be sized and designed to accommodate ATVs, horses, hikers, skiers and bicycles only. The trails would be available year round for community member use, but along with the trails, a few very modest cabins could be built to serve as hunting camps. The community members and their guests could reserve their cabin spot and then be able to spend a few days up on the mountain and spend the nights at the cabins. The idea (which might annoy some die-hard hunters) is that the members (and guests) could bag their elk without much of the discomfort or hassle that usually comes with elk hunting. It is like a cushy private hunting park.

The cabins could also sere as a day ride destination or just a novelty activity for a get away to look at the stars and enjoy the special place.
