Iconic Hiking Trail Proximity: This property offers a perfect location for short-term rentals or other commercial endeavors focused on hospitality and tourism. With 339 feet of prime scenic HWY 24 frontage, it is the perfect natural stopping point for tourists and travelers alike. The area is also the staging point for the renowned North Mesa hiking trail, which rises over 1300 feet above the valley floor. Famous for the ‘Historic Cement Mixer’, which welcomes visitors to the North Caineville Mesa trailhead. This awe-inspiring, strenuous hike attracts numerous visitors throughout the year. The views from the property itself are punctuated by North Caineville Mesa, Town Point, and South Caineville Mesa.

These natural stopping points make the property well-suited for a myriad of uses. This exceptionally rare parcel has utilities on site, including culinary water and power, a unique canvas in a developing landscape, as it is also located near the east gate to Capitol Reef National Park. Caineville, Utah, is an up-and-coming location ripe for opportunity in this truly remarkable setting. With growth projected to continue, the potential to build short-term rentals or pursue other commercial endeavors is excellent.

The property itself shares its Western and Northern borders with the Bureau of Land Management. The southern border of the property is fenced along HWY 24, and power runs along the HWY as well as a recently-installed culinary water line. The majority of the lot is covered by the ‘elephant skin’ badlands, which attract visitors each year and give the property the feel of being on another planet – in fact, the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) is just a few miles away.

Located just minutes from the eastern gate of the 241,000-acre Capitol Reef National Park, which hosted over 1.4 million visits in 2024. A record for the park and represents an 81% increase in visitation since 2014 – the largest increase in visitors for any of Utah’s National Parks. The area is considered ‘dark skies’ with extremely low light pollution, perfect for star viewing and enjoying the breathtaking night skies above the large mesas in every direction. Millions of acres of BLM, State Park, National Park, and Forest Service cover this area, and private ground is a rare find. With the proximity to the park, great road access, utilities, and views, this property would be well-suited for possible residential or STR development.
