About The Property

A sizable grazing tract located about five miles northwest of Vale, Oregon. One contiguous block, fenced and cross fenced, six pastures, one stock well, buried 2 ½ inch PVC pipe-line with six strategically placed metal troughs, (plus one on the neighbor). Ranch lends itself to early spring and late fall grazing with supplemental winter feed and ideally moving to outside summer grass for 5-6 months. The property has been pastured year-long in the past….approximately 1,000 AUM’s capacity is estimated by this agent. Crested Wheat, Bulbous Blue and Cheat are the primary grass species. It is estimated about 90% of the land is rock free. Introduction of improved dry pasture seeding would require minimal labor.

Summary

The ranch can be used to compliment a larger operation with summer season grasses or a year- long hobby type holding. The HQ setting is appealing and unique and will be attractive to most Buyers. Forage consists primarily of annual cold weather varieties common to eastern Oregon and western Idaho. The basics are here with upside for a new Buyer.

Setting

There is no public access through the property. One partner of the family trust is retaining an additional approximate 1,843 acres and is requesting one-half interest in the existing working and shipping improvements and a limited Ag easement of approximately 2,600’ along a portion of the southern boundary. A large concrete bridge with a foolproof gate can readily be locked for HQ privacy. Most of the ranch, including a private HQ setting, is elevated overlooking the Malheur Valley and mountains to the south.

Area
