Oregon Ranch for Sale with Irrigated Land and Big Game Habitat
Nestled in the high desert rangeland of Eastern Oregon, the Four S Land & Cattle Ranch offers a rare opportunity to own a sprawling, contiguous 5,078± acre working ranch in the heart of Baker County. With over 400 acres of irrigated pastures and alfalfa fields, timbered ridges climbing toward the Blue Mountains, and abundant wildlife, this Oregon cattle ranch for sale combines agricultural productivity, natural beauty, and recreational appeal.
Located just 7 miles from Unity and within easy reach of Baker City, this property provides privacy without sacrificing access to essential services and regional amenities.
The ranch’s topography transitions gracefully from fertile alfalfa meadows to forested ridges of cedar, pinyon pine, and juniper, offering a highly functional and ecologically rich landscape. The property is well-improved for ranch operations with:
A newer manufactured home
A ranch hand house
A large shop
A calving barn
Functional working corrals with hydraulic chute
Approximately 80 acres of alfalfa are irrigated under a center pivot, while an additional 70 acres are serviced by two wheel lines—making this a highly efficient and productive operation. Whether you’re managing livestock, cutting hay, or pursuing wildlife conservation, the layout supports a range of uses.
Irrigation water rights cover just over 400 acres, with sources including both the Burnt River and the North Fork of the Burnt River. Two year-round creeks—Cottonwood Creek and Beaverdam Creek—run through the property from north to south, adding to the water security and aesthetic appeal.
Livestock water is readily available throughout the rangeland via:
Two spring-fed stock ponds
A solar-powered well system feeding eight troughs
Multiple undeveloped springs and seeps
Buyers are encouraged to verify water rights with Burnt River Irrigation District (BRID). Contact: Shawn Klaus, (541) 446-3313.
The ranch benefits from Baker County’s semi-arid climate, known for warm, dry summers and cold winters with light snowfall, making it ideal for year-round ranching and recreation. Mild springs and autumns extend the outdoor season and contribute to the area’s agricultural productivity.
This land carries the legacy of early Indigenous inhabitants, including the Paiute and Nez Perce tribes. During the Oregon Trail era, Hereford and surrounding areas served as vital rest stops for westward pioneers, thanks to their fertile soil and reliable water sources. That same rich land is still supporting life and livelihood today.
The Four S Land & Cattle Ranch doubles as a hunting property. Located in the Sumpter Hunting Unit, this ranch qualifies for up to 5 Landowner Preference Tags (LOP) for elk and deer (buyer to confirm with ODFW).
Outdoor recreation opportunities are extensive:
Unity Reservoir (1 mile away) offers trout, crappie, and bass fishing
Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort (45 minutes from Baker City) delivers snowboarding, skiing, and snowshoeing
Easy access to Monument Rock, Strawberry Mountain, and North Fork John Day Wilderness Areas provides a lifetime of hiking, horseback riding, and wildlife exploration
