Featured Land & Ranch
There's no single address behind this site, and that's the point. I work the whole Wasatch Back, and the ground I represent runs from lakefront building sites to working hay ranches. Here's the menu, and what to look for in each one.
Views first, permits second
Acreage & Building Sites
The dream parcel: sun, views, and room to breathe. The work is in the details, and the details are water, access, and the perc test. A building site is only a building site if the county agrees, and I make sure we ask before you pay.
What I check first
- Water right or well feasibility
- Recorded access
- Perc test and soil evaluation
- County zoning and minimum lot size
- Power and utility reach
Working ground, honest dirt
Farms & Ranches
Irrigated hay ground, canal shares, and barns that still do the job. These are places that produce something every year, and the water that makes them green is the first thing we verify. A farm is a system, and systems are my favorite thing to read.
What I check first
- Irrigation shares and their transfer
- Water rights kept in beneficial use
- Agricultural zoning and right to farm
- Outbuilding condition and legality
- Fencing and cross-fencing
Pasture, water, and a dry place to ride
Equestrian Estates
The horses are the honest clients: they need pasture, water at the paddock, shelter, and safe footing. We check the zone for barns and arenas, the water for the troughs, and the ground for mud season before you commit.
What I check first
- Irrigated pasture and fencing
- Water at the paddock
- Zoning for barns, arenas, and boarding
- Drainage and year-round footing
- Trail and vet access
Land that outlasts the deal
Legacy Holdings
Some ground is a purchase, and some is a legacy: the parcel your family drives past for generations. These need the longest view on due diligence, because the mistakes follow the land, not the buyer. Title, water, mineral severance, all of it, read carefully.
What I check first
- Full title and mineral severance review
- Water rights with deep priority dates
- Easements, past and future
- Conservation and open space options
- A plan that survives the family
The asset under the asset
Water Rights
In Utah, water is public property and the right to use it is separate from the land. Priority dates, beneficial use, forfeiture, canal shares, well permits: this is where I earn my keep, and where most buyers learn the hard way. We verify the right before the offer, every time.
What I check first
- Priority date and source
- Seven-year nonuse and forfeiture status
- Canal company share ledger
- Well permits and basin status
- Change applications on file

Current listings
Specific parcels change hands weekly, so the live inventory lives on my main site at eXp Realty's Luxury Division. If you see something there you like, or if you have a parcel in mind that isn't listed anywhere, call me. Off-market is where half the good ground lives.
Drive the dirt
A parcel reads different from the road than it does on paper. We drive it, walk it, and check the water where the water runs. Thirty minutes in the Jeep beats three hours of scrolling listings, every time.
