92+/- acres with approximately 55 acres in tillable farm ground consisting of Class 1 Malabon and Class 2 Coburg soils. The balance of the property is in beautiful meandering meadows and swales through majestic old growth oak trees. Flat creek runs along the NE corner of the property and this place has as much personality as its history! 1928 farmhouse could use some updating but seems structurally sound. Dont miss the story on this one!

Mostly level ground on this one with just enough contour to keep winter drainage where it should be. Farm roads and beautiful trails section off different portions of the farm.

Irrigation:
Please inquire for a copy of 1958 irrigation rights documents. These rights do not show on interactive map. Note from Water Master: The only thing I can say with certainty is that authorized well location is on TL 800, 28174 Ferguson Rd Junction City. The claim says 15 acres can be irrigated, 6 in SENW and 9 in NESW but I dont know where exactly. Ive asked our Salem staff to scan in the entire file to see if there is a better map. In the event that one cant be found, Id say irrigate as it has been done historically without exceeding whats authorized by quarter-quarter. From the aerial photo it looks like all the fields are being farmed; however, there are not enough water rights to irrigate everything. The best option for a buyer to get more water is a transfer. The proximity to Flat Creek could pose issue to getting a new groundwater right. Lanaya Blakely, Watermaser, District 2 541-682-3682/541-913-1154
Farm Equipment:
No farm equipment to be left with the sale other than old irrigation pipe. Functionality of the pipe is unknown.

Well #2 is located in the pumphouse near the barn and used for yard irrigation around the home. Well #3 is located at the south end of the largest farm field within the trees.

Summary:
