Water: There is almost of a mile of the Middle Fork of the John Day River that flows through the property. This river is deemed Wild and Scenic by the State of Oregon. This house is grandfathered and is the reason it is one of the only homes that is so close to the river on the entire Middle Fork. There are two year-round ponds; one of which supplies permitted hydro-power. They also provide underground irrigation around the house and entertaining area to keep green during summer months. King Creek runs year-round that maintains the ponds throughout the year. A spring supplies gravity fed water to the house and shop. There are 13 acres of meadow that has 5 permitted acres of water rights out of the river and 2.5 acres water rights from King Creek. Bum Creek also runs through the property and flows into the river.

General: This is truly a very unique opportunity to own one of the few homes on the Middle Fork of the John Day River. Bridges are no longer allowed on the Middle Fork River and this property is accessed by a bridge that spans the river and also has access off a county road on the southern portion of the property. There are mostly trout this high in the Middle Fork system. There can be excellent Steelhead fishing from January-April depending on water conditions. Deer are very common to see on the property and the owners have had pet buck in the past that come back every year. Great elk hunting can be accessed out the back gate onto the county road which takes you to hundreds of thousands of acres of public land that reaches nearly to Baker, Oregon. Food plots have been planted on the more meadow ground and the irrigation helps keep them green throughout the year. The property is in two separate tax lots and there is a second home on the south end that is not livable, but provides the property with a replacement dwelling permit if the new owner wishes to replace it. The current owners have kept the property extremely neat and clean and continually kept up with deferred maintenance on the improvements which makes this ranch a truly turn-key operation.
