Water, water, water! There are 5,300 acre feet of water that don't rely on the Colorado River System, dedicated to the site, consisting of 1,841 net acres, which lays on terrain that gently slopes from north to south at about a 2% grade. There are no extraordinary surface geotechnical considerations. The soil is sand with mixed pebbles. Vegetation is minimal which presents no abnormal grubbing and clearing considerations. There are no property access considerations. Power, telephone, and CATV are already to the property.
Interstate 15 divides the land, with approximately two miles of highway frontage on either side. US Highway 91 parallels I-15 on the south portion of the site providing paved access to the south portion of the site. Paved and gravel roads are located on the north portion of the site.

The south portion of the site - The southern border of the property, for the most part, overlooks the Virgin River from a bluff towering some 100 feet above the river. The Virgin River provides a natural green belt, which is the home of many local bird species and migratory birds. One might observe pheasant, quail, roadrunners, Canadian geese, migratory ducks, and an occasional wild boar in the green belt. The views from the bluff are extraordinary. The high mountains of the Paiute Wilderness area provide an exhilarating backdrop from the bluff. The land between the river and the mountains is Federal land administered by the Bureau of Land Management.
The north portion of the site - Federal lands abut the entire west border of the property and most of the north border. These Federal lands lay in the Beaver Dam Slope Area of Critical Environmental Concern. Needless to say, it is highly unlikely that this land will ever be developed. The eastern border of the north portion is on a high bluff overlooking the small town of Beaver Dam. The Beaver Dam Mountains and the Paiute Wilderness mountains form a spectacular backdrop for views from this bluff. A paved and a gravel road run through the property.

The current Master Plan, which overlays the site provides about 400 acres of freeway frontage, zoned commercial; 760 acres are zoned high-density residential (12 to 25 units per acre); 360 acres are zoned medium-density residential (5 to 12 units per acre); and, 320 acres are zoned low-density residential (1 to 5 units per acre). Compared to most metropolitan areas, zoning changes are relatively easy to obtain.
The prior owners were Real Estate Developers who carefully chose this site with the intent for it to be a future master planned residential community, principally catering to retirees and vacation or second home occupants, as well as modern families. The site is ideally suited for the continued influx from the northern states and Canada (snowbirds) desiring to winter in the south. In addition, the anticipated affordable housing within the site will be extremely attractive to workers employed in St. George, and Mesquite.
