Bolinder Ranch The
Bolinder Ranch has been in the family for several generations. The original deed was signed by Franklin D.
Roosevelt. A copy of the original deed
is included in the brochure. The Bolinder family is a very
prominent name in Tooele County. They‘ve
had their roots in the Grantsville area since the early 1900‘s. Lester Bolinder
was the first individual to own an airplane in Tooele County. He built many airfields across the northwest
and Bolinder Field Airport in Tooele County was named in his honor. For the past several years the
ranch has been used mainly as a family getaway.
Here they‘ve enjoyed fabulous views of the Wasatch Front, Tooele Valley
and the Great Salt Lake. The ranch is
contiguous to the National Forest and three miles from Deseret Peak Wilderness
area. The ranch has trophy mule deer, elk, mountain lions, wild turkeys and a
variety of upland game birds. The topography of the property is varied with
deep ravines, open grasslands with gentle slopes and densely covered areas of
cedar trees. There
is also a large amount of quality landscape rock as well as an abundance of
choice gravel deposits, which could be used for the infrastructure and
development of the ranch. Utah‘s real estate market is
extremely strong with record sales and growth - particularly in Tooele
Valley. The ranch is just 45 minutes
from downtown Salt Lake City, 30 minutes from Salt Lake International Airport
with an additional private airfield just minutes away which accommodates
business jets or comparable aircraft.
With the expanding real estate market in Utah and this type of property and
location, the potential uses for this large tract of deeded ground with the
large block of water are unlimited! Every lot is a view lot so
this beautiful foothill property could easily be developed into a gated,
upscale community with plenty of room for a world-class, 18-hole golf course featuring
exclusive high-end lots on the golf course or lots backed up to the privacy of
the National Forest. Buyers from the
Wasatch Front and across the nation when buying a primary residence or their 2nd or 3rd homes to escape stress from
city congestion will enjoy golfing, riding horses, ATVs, cross-country skiing,
biking and hiking right out their own back doors! *** ORGINAL DEED SIGNED BY

OF TOOELE VALLEY N S
ORIGINAL DEED SIGNED BY FRANKLIN D. Grantsville Utah About Grantsville: Grantsville is the second most
populous city in Tooele County, Utah. As of the 2000 census, the city had a
total population of 6,015 and by 2003 has been estimated to increase to
6,824. The city has grown slowly and
steadily throughout it‘s existence, but rapid increases in growth occurred
during the 1970s and the 1990s. The recent rapid growth has been attributed to
the nearby Deseret Peak recreational center, the Miller Motorsports Park and
the newly built Wal-Mart Distribution Center located in the city. There are numerous other corporations and
businesses expanding into the valley. Grantsville Geography: Grantsville is bordered on the south by South Mountain, which
separates Rush Valley from Tooele Valley. To the North is Stansbury Island, and
the east and west sides are bordered by the Oquirrh Mountain and Stansbury
Range. Tooele County Great
Attractions, Activities and Entertainment The
Oquirrh Mountains to the east can match tree-for-tree anything in the
Wasatch Range. The tallest mountain in the Oquirrhs is Lowe Peak at 10,590
feet. The range is 30 miles long and is home to one of the state's largest elk
herds and some of the state's largest bull elk. It also holds some of the
state's more scenic and historic canyons, such as Settlement Canyon and
Reservoir; Dry Canyon where the ghost town Jacob City is located: and Soldier
Canyon, once a hotbed for early mining. The
lands to the west are desert and this arid land holds more mysteries, history
and attractions than do some of the more mountainous regions. Pony Express Route -The old Pony Express route runs through the county
east to west. The only thing that has
changed since the first riders took to the saddle back in 1860 is time. Bonneville
Salt Flats -In the northwestern
corner of the county is the Bonneville Salt Flats, made famous by anything with
wheels. Many world records have been set
here and many have yet to be broken.. The Salt Flats, overseen by the
Bureau of Land Management, are spread over about 30,000 acres. The flats up close look like a sea of snow,
but are a bed of common table salt that is bonded to create a perfectly flat
racing surface. Great
Salt Lake / Prehistoric Lake Bonneville -The
Great Salt Lake has many beaches and is a popular place for sailing. The beautiful lake is also the source for
about 80 percent of the state's wetlands and home to about 250 species of
birds. Nowadays
the high salinity of the lake can run from 4 percent to 28 percent - with
oceans being around 3 percent a source of minerals. Stansbury
Island śis actually a
peninsula in the southwest corner of the Great Salt Lake which is 11 miles long
and 4 miles wide with a small portion of the island accessible to the
public. The Island is a very popular
place in the spring and fall for hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders
with trails of varying degrees of difficulty and length while offering
participants outstanding views and unique geography! Ancient Cave Adventures-Danger Cave, east of Wendover Nevada was formed by
wave action from Lake Bonneville. The cave was home to some of the earliest
residents of the area. Artifacts found in the cave date back 11,000 years. Explore
19th Century Gold and Silver Mining Ghost Towns -The Oquirrh Mountains offered up loads of minerals to
early miners. Miners came, took what they could and left behind ghost towns.
One of the most prominent, Jacob City, is
located in Dry Canyon and accessible by off-highway vehicles and bikes.
In the nearby town of Ophir, named after the
biblical land of King Solomon's mine, there were several restaurants, dance
halls and brothels. There are a few people still living in the town.
Mercur, a booming 19th-century
gold-and-silver mining town that once had a population of 12,000 and it‘s share
of hotels, restaurants, brothels and saloons. Mercur burned to the ground twice
- in 1896 and 1902 - but was rebuilt after each fire. By 1917, profits fell and
mills closed.
Located off Highway 196 are the remains of
Losepa, perhaps the state's oddest ghost town.
Established by early Mormon converts from Hawaii in the 1880s, the community
existed until 1917. Donner Reed Party -Much has been written about the Donner Reed Party's
ill-fated trek across Great Salt Lake Desert in 1846 where they ran out of
water and nearly perished. The travelers
eventually found Donner Springs at the base of Pilot Peak near Wendover, Nevada
then made their way on to the snow-covered Sierra Mountains where they were
stranded for the winter. A Donner-Reed Museum in
Grantsville features many interesting artifacts and stories. Year
Round Scuba-Diving -Out in the middle
of nowhere is Blue Lake, located along the dirt road from the ghost town of
Gold Hills and south of Wendover. It is a spring-fed pool of water that has
become popular with swimmers and divers. There are fish and various structures
to explore, including old sunken boats. Fall and winter are great times to
dive. Hunting
-The
county has an abundance of wildlife, such as deer, antelope and elk. Area Attractions DESERET PEAK COMPLEX Just
35 minutes west of Salt Lake City nestled in the heart of the Tooele Valley is
Deseret Peak Complex which opened in 1999 and has brought an impressive array
of venues, events and activities to the area.
Some of these events have included concerts, demolition derbies,
professional rodeos and much more. The Deseret Peak Complex is also
full of family fun activities which include several full-size baseball diamond
fields, swimming pools, water parks, go-kart and dirt bike racing tracks. MILLER MOTORSPORTS PARK AT DESERET PEAK The
design philosophy of Miller Motorsports Park built by Jazz owner, Larry Miller
has led to the creation of a national standard for road racing and karting
which is equal or superior to any existing North American facility. The Park is a major national road race event
center attracting premier racing events to Utah and the greater Salt Lake
market with a high level of enthusiast participation by competitors and
non-competitors alike. International
racers including Michael Jordan‘s race team have already stated that Miller
Motorsports Park is among the —best in the world.“ Miller
Motorsports Park offers spectators almost 100% sightlines of the entire track
from any viewing location, while providing up-close viewing of prime race
action zones
with every
amenity expected at a world-class event. The Corporate Clubhouse is also used
during the week as the main corporate entertainment center at the Park. Bolinder
Field ś is a private airport minutes from the Motorsports
Park and Bolinder ranch. The airfield
accommodates business jets and comparable aircraft and makes travel into the
area very convenient. World-Class
