42 acre Hay Farm w/ irrigation rights & 5 Bedroom Home in West Eugene!
Located just outside the city limits of West Eugene, this one sits way back off the main road on a paved driveway, and adjacent to the Amazon Creek Diversion Channel allowing for hours of hiking and horseback riding. The Sellers haven't ever been required to carry flood insurance.
Farm buildings in very good condition include:
36' x 60' Cattle Barn w/power, 12' slide doors in front and back, and 12' concrete floor lean to's on both sides, 1 with cattle feeder, 1 with stalls
36' x 36' ...
36' x 36' Hay Storage barn with lights
36' x 20' "owner's shop" with concrete floor, 220 power, and barn door entry
36' x 50' Machine Shed with concrete floor and lights
3 Equine Barns including matted stalls, tack rooms, hot & cold wash rack, vet room, cross ties
100' x 50' Covered Arena with lights for riding or whatever additional storage needs you may have
Shaving Bin with concrete floor - Seller says holds 5 units
3 Car Garage - oversized and detached
The improvements are in very good condition and the property is cross fenced, and about 3/4 perimeter fenced. Most fencing is in great shape but there are some areas ready for your reconfiguration.
Seller says his hay production (for approximately 35 acres) has averaged 55 to 60 ton per year using a manure fertilizer system, and as much as 60 to 75 tons when applications include conventional fertilizers. The property was fertilized conventionally, and approximately 10 acres was reseeded with 400lbs of Tall Fescue and Timothy mix in the fall of 2013.
The irrigation rights are provided through Willamette Basin Irrigation and the point of diversion is in the Amazon Creek Diversion Channel and water is distributed through a buried section of pipe under the dike . The current owners pay $280 per year to the Bureau of Reclamation for 35 acre feet of water. Please request a copy of the irrigation rights contract for your review.
There is a pump house located along the canal complete with 3 phase power and a 15hp pump which will be included in the sale of the property. This pump has run 3 big guns. Guns and handline are not included in the sale of the property. For the first time in 23 years of occupancy, Sellers did not irrigate in summer of 2013 due to an extremely dry winter/spring, and lack of water in the canal.
In addition to the hay production, Sellers enjoy a harvest each year from a deer fenced garden area and from the following: Apples, Pears, Grapes, Cherries, Plums, and 4 Hazelnut trees
The property is also gorgeous with easy to maintain landscape including many flowering shrubs and 30 rose bushes.
A welcoming covered patio and incredible Mediterranean style front door bring you into this very well kept 5 bedroom and 3 full bath home. There's an office with separate entrance, and a mud/laundry room with built in storage; also with a separate entrance.
The heart of this home is it's large great room style living/dining area with vaulted open beam ceilings, beautiful Brazillian Lyptus hardwood floors and a floor to ceiling rock hearth; home to a cozy Country woodstove insert. On a clear day, the eastern view from the large picture windows offer the joy of the snowcapped Sisters Mtns.
A wonderful kitchen in this home boasts plenty of tile countertop space, double convection ovens, wood flooring, windowed breakfast nook, 2 pantries, a built in wine rack, and now you're cookin' with fire on a beautiful downdraft propane gas cook top. A favorite of mine in this kitchen are the Dutch doors that lead to a beautiful patio surrounded by landscape.
The spacious master bedroom, with high open beam ceiling, boasts an open fireplace; again with a floor to ceiling rock hearth, double closets, a private balcony, shuttered windows, and remodeled master bath with double sinks, tile floor, and additional closet space.
This property has been permitted and used as a fully operational, and often full to capacity, horse boarding facility for years but the owners have "partially retired" so they've pared the business down to 10 or 12 boarders. They have a barn manager that would like to stay on if the new owners would like to continue and/or increase this income source.
Current horse boarding fees are as follow:
$170 per month - Partial care - The facility feeds twice a day and provides bedding. Horse owners turn out, clean stalls, and provide their own feed.
$180 per month - Partial care - Same benefits arrangement and offers a larger stall.
$290 per month - Full care - Facility feeds twice a day and provides turn out and stall cleaning. Horse owners provide their own feed.
