Southern Utah land for sale, solar energy property for sale

Large parcel of southern Utah land for sale has solar energy potential 

The Rattlesnake Ranch in La Sal, Utah, is a 485-acre parcel of land located about 30 miles southeast of the booming resort town of Moab, Utah, near Arches National Monument. At 6,600 feet in elevation, La Sal is higher and cooler than Moab, and much closer to the nearby La Sal mountain range. This particular property is located on the western edge of the very small town of La Sal, and has excellent development potential. Access is very easy via a paved state highway, and a gravel county road bisects the property. The land is very flat, with the exception of a small canyon and reservoir on the southwest corner of the property.

This property has high potential for solar energy development, given that there are several high-tension power lines just to the west of the property. It is a flat parcel with very easy access and higher elevation that means more intense solar gain. There is practically no timber to clear and the site would be very easy to place into solar energy production. A 3-phase power line runs along the northern border of the property.

Moab Utah residential development property

Just like the resort towns of Aspen, Park City, and Telluride, Moab is suffering for a lack of employee housing. This property is very large, has excellent access, power, and water wells can be drilled. It has high potential for employee housing for the many workers who can no longer afford housing in Moab.
