Elevated Mountain Land With Open Meadows, Aspen and Pine Cover, and Sweeping Views Near Wolf Creek Pass
Not every piece of mountain land earns the word scenic. This one does. VVS-28 is a 5.76-acre parcel in the Valley View area near Tabiona, Utah, sitting at elevation along Utah State Route 35 near Wolf Creek Pass with expansive views, a balanced mix of open meadow and wooded hillside, and the kind of natural character that takes decades to develop on its own. At $159,900, this is a rare opportunity to own genuine high-country land in one of Duchesne County's most sought-after mountain corridors.
The Land
What makes VVS-28 stand out is the variety packed into 5.76 acres. The terrain moves between open, gently sloping meadow and hillsides covered in aspen, scrub oak, and pine, giving you both buildable space and established natural cover within the same parcel. The elevated position delivers sweeping views across the surrounding mountain and valley landscape in multiple directions, and the higher altitude keeps summer temperatures noticeably cooler than the valley floor below.
Boundary lines have already been marked, and established access is in place, giving buyers a clear and ready starting point rather than a blank slate full of unknowns. Whether your plans involve a mountain cabin, a seasonal hunting basecamp, a full-time off-grid residence, or simply a long-term land investment, the property is well positioned for all of it.
Access and Location
The property sits off Utah State Route 35, one of the more scenic drives in the state as it climbs through Wolf Creek Pass connecting the Heber Valley to the Uinta Basin. Access is seasonal in nature, with winter snow and mountain conditions potentially limiting use during colder months, which buyers should factor into their plans based on intended use. For three seasons of the year, the approach through this corridor is as much of an experience as the destination itself.
Tabiona is nearby and offers a school, a church, and basic everyday services, so you are not completely removed from community infrastructure even in this remote setting. Utilities and building requirements should be confirmed directly with Duchesne County for any development plans.
The Tabiona Area and Duchesne County
The area surrounding Tabiona is defined by the upper Duchesne River Valley, the Ashley National Forest, and the southern slopes of the Uinta Mountains. This is elk and deer country, and the wildlife density throughout the Valley View area makes it a natural draw for hunters looking to own private land adjacent to vast stretches of public hunting ground. ATV and OHV trails lace through the backcountry, hiking access is practically unlimited, and the Duchesne River provides fly fishing opportunities that attract anglers from across the region.
Starvation Reservoir lies to the south for boating and fishing, and the broader Uinta Basin keeps you connected to the amenities of Duchesne and Roosevelt without pulling you too far from the mountain setting you came for. For buyers escaping the heat and congestion of the Wasatch Front, this elevation and this landscape are exactly the point.
