Also, the Canyon is famous for Winery's!!! The fertile, irrigated land offers incredible potential for sustainable enjoyable getaway. The rich soil and generous piped water rightsâ.40 c.f.s from Rock Creek Ditch (Appropriation Priority No. 1962-1, Ditch 1)â is enough water to nurture a productive garden, mature fruit trees, and grape vines, all yielding a plentiful harvest season after season.

Additional highlights include a root cellar, useable outbuildings for animals and storage fencing and cross-fencing, and proximity minutes to the 12 mile stretch of Sand Canyon Trailhead for hiking, biking and horseback riding.
