Historically, Star Valley Highlands has been utilized as a summer pasture for a limited number of horses. The pastures have been lightly grazed and the stock has been carefully rotated to prevent overgrazing. A conceptual plan, dividing the property into four 40-acre tracts has been created, however it requires final county approval to achieve realization.

Although there is not live water onsite, Star Valley Highlands provides easy access to numerous world-class streams and rivers. The nearby Salt and Greys Rivers provide excellent fishing for cutthroat, brook, brown and rainbow trout. The Salt River is a 5-minute drive from the ranch and provides exceptional dry fly fishing for cutthroat trout. Opportunities to catch large brown trout abound as the fish migrate up the river system to spawn during the fall months. The world-renowned South Fork of the Snake River flows into the nearby Palisades Reservoir, 40 minutes from the property. The South Fork of the Snake is known for its high-quality dry fly fishing for large cutthroat, brown and rainbow trout. For the angler constantly seeking new water, the Green and New Fork Rivers are within two hours of Star Valley Highlands and provide anglers with some of the finest fishing for large, wild trout.

With views of the Salt River Range, Wyoming Range, and the valley floor below, one would be challenged to find a more stunning and beautiful setting. Star Valley Highlands has dramatic views, aspen groves, lush meadows, bubbling springs and privacy, creating a true mountain getaway.
