“SITLA leaders agreed it would be more profitable to sell this parcel than mine it. They canceled a contract with a local road builder and set a minimum bid at $790,000, or nearly $6,600 an acre. But it could go for much higher.
. . .The Teasdale Bench parcel could someday have homes overlooking the Fremont River, but a mine is unlikely because once the land is privatized it will be subject to Wayne County zoning, which identifies this area for agricultural and residential uses. Also available on Wednesday are parcels near the Emma Park Road in the southeastern corner of Utah County, just south of the Ashley National Forest. These two offerings, 640 acres and two 40-acre parcels to be sold together, have steep slopes and no guaranteed road access, but they offer great big-game hunting potential.”
