Property Overview

Indian Bluff Ranch encompasses 800 pristine acres above New Harmony, featuring nearly 360 views to the crimson finger canyons of Zion’s Kolob Canyons district and the greater Zion skyline. The ranch is bordered on three sides by public land (per seller), preserving privacy, wildlife movement, and protected view corridors. Multiple natural springs emerge in shaded draws, feeding pockets of lush vegetation and a small pond, while miles of graded internal trails deliver easy access from the open benches to intimate, timbered canyons. Mature ponderosa pine and juniper, including select old-growth specimens, anchor the landscape.

This is classic Southern Utah big-country with mule deer, upland birds, and abundant small game typical of the Kolob/Pine Valley foothills. The spring seeps draw a diverse range of species year-round (buyer to verify game unit/season options).

Multiple natural springs flow year-round through the canyons, collecting in a small pond near the lower benches. A water right for a domestic well is included (buyer to verify right number, priority, and allowable use). These lush micro-oases along seeps and springs create natural gathering points for wildlife and offer shaded retreats throughout the property.
