Description
Thistle Creek Ranch Private Mountain Estate with Off-Grid Features and Recreational Appeal, Serene creek running through property Discover Thistle Creek Ranch, a serene mountain retreat just minutes from the heart of Utah County. Nestled off Highway 89 near Spanish Fork Canyon, this gated property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility-only 18 minutes from I-15, Costco, other stores, so close yet feels remote when you are out here. This 8-bedroom, 5-bathroom main residence is designed for versatility and comfort, with stunning panoramic views, multiple decks, and abundant outdoor gathering spaces. The backyard is a true oasis featuring a rock waterfall, a large fireplace, and manicured lawns. A separate "mother-in-law" suite includes its own entrance, kitchenette, living area, and deck. The home is ideal for family retreats, large gatherings, or even weddings, with office spaces, a craft room, a dorm-style room for guests or kids, and a full lower-level apartment with a second kitchen and wood-burning stove. Built with self-sufficiency in mind, the home includes 78 roof-mounted solar panels for electricity, 12 thermal panels for winter heat, and a 2,000-gallon propane capacity. Thistle Creek Ranch has permanent rights to up to 12 acre-feet of water from the Spanish Fork City main line, delivering year-round spring water-filtered but untreated for those desiring chemical-free water. Additional infrastructure includes a large food storage room, reliable grid power, and high-speed internet. The 40' x 60' post-and-beam barn is solar-powered and ideal for horses, recreation, parties or events. A separate outbuilding serves as a heated gym and tack shed. The property spans varied terrain from 5,100 to over 6,200 feet in elevation. Thistle Creek meanders through the lower meadows, feeding a picturesque pond. Fenced pastures and irrigated paddocks surround the main compound, while the upper ranch features dramatic rock cliffs, meadows, and wooded trails. A secluded shooting range and plentiful wildlife-including elk, deer, and wild turkey-make this a hunter's paradise. Thistle Creek is known for its brown trout, and the ranch participates in the Utah DWR walk-in access program for seasonal rainbow trout fishing. Additional recreational opportunities include horseback riding, mountain biking, hiking, and camping, with potential sites for yurts or family campgrounds on the upper property. Previously used as both a private ranch and a residential treatment center, Thistle Creek Ranch is uniquely suited for personal or commercial use. Included Parcels: 65:022:0003 65:022:0001
