Type Ranch Bedrooms 4 Bath 3 Price $1,950,000
Sq. Ft. 2,280 Lot Size 1,477 acres MLS# 75770    
NOTE: Owner might consider partial split. Call for details.
            All acreages are approximate.

RUSTAN RANCH: Many, many possibilities for this ranch. 1,477 total acres featuring 140 acres irrigated pasture and hay ground, 120 acres crop land, 1,200 acres hill ground, 3 homes, 3 barns, shop, machine barn, corrals, 3 ponds and stream. Plus 120 acres of sub irrigated riparian pasture and 2 geothermal artesian wells. All acreages are approximate.

LOCATION: Ten miles south of Lakeview, Oregon and four miles north of the Oregon / California border. The ranch has great access as it lies on both sides of US Hwy 395. It is bordered by Goose Lake on the west and Fremont National Forest on the east.

LAND: The terrain varies from flat riparian grazing land and gently sloping crop land to hilly spring range and then mountainous wildlife habitat next to the national forest.

CROPS: This ranch has produced high test, dairy quality alfalfa hay and also cereal grains including barley, wheat, oats and rye, in the past, both for hay and combine. It is currently growing alfalfa, orchard grass and alfalfa/orchard grass mix for stock cow hay. There is also approximately 50 acres of native clover and grass meadows that can either be hayed or grazed.

IRRIGATION: Water for irrigation comes from Tandy Creek and two wells that produce approximately 950 gallons per minute. It is applied to the alfalfa and orchard grass with a center pivot  and wheel lines, and the meadow is irrigated by gravity flood from the creek. There is an additional small meadow that sub irrigates from a small seasonal run off. The riparian pasture sub irrigates naturally.

GRAZING: There is a small amount of spring feed on the hill ground, but is mostly on the meadows, dry ground and riparian land.

CARRYING CAPACITY: Present owner keeps 50 to 60 cows year round and summers another 150 to 200 pair for six months. Estimates are that the ranch would easily carry 175 mother cows year round.

IMPROVEMENTS: There are three homes. The main house, a modular with full daylight basement and garage, has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It is immaculately kept and has a magnificent view across the ranch and Goose Lake at the mountains beyond. Sunsets are spectacular! The other two are very nice and comfortable 3 bedroom, 2 bath manufactured homes. There is a 4000 sq ft metal building with double doors used for equipment or hay storage, two older livestock or horse barns, a 44 X 52 pole hay barn and a 104 X 44 pole barn with 104 X 32 attached horse stalls. There are two shops. A small older one, 27 X 24 and a modern 80 X 40 with overhead hoist, 2 12x12 doors and a 16x12 door in the side and a 16x14 in the end and a 20x100 concrete apron. Good set of corrals with chutes.

WATER: There are at least three ponds on the ranch itself. Two are fed by the creek and ground water and one is kept full by an artesian well.

GEOTHERMAL: There are two geothermal wells on this ranch with temperatures near 200 degrees that flow approximately 200 gallons per minute each. One of them has a pump in it and, although it has not ran for some time, pumped 1800 GPM when it was drilled. It was drilled for irrigation, but proved to be unsuitable for crops.

KLAMATH COUNTY FARM LAND:
This is a chance to acquire a relatively small parcel of very fertile farm land in a highly desirable area of Klamath County Oregon. Approximately 5 miles south of the city of Klamath Falls, it is in the Henley School District. Henley schools are very popular in this area, not only for their academics, but they have a very strong sports program and a popular FFA chapter.

Klamath Falls, although not a large city, has about everything you need. It has several large supermarkets, a Wal-Mart, Fred Meyer, Big R, feed stores, Home Depot, car dealerships, equipment dealers, etc.

This property is now in pasture. However, it is capable of growing any and all Klamath Basin crops. It would be excellent for alfalfa or potatoes since they have never been grown on this parcel and the soil should be free from parasites and bacteria that is harmful to these crops. There is over 70 acres of K.I.D. class A water rights and is flood irrigated with some gated pipe.

There is a domestic well on the property. Building a home on the property would require a conditional use permit, but that should be a possibility.

BROWN RANCH

This special place is located approximately 10 miles west of Lakeview Oregon at the end of a well maintained county road. The road ends at the property. The old homestead is in about 3/4 of a mile, and when you are there, it feels like you are in the middle of nowhere – even though it is only 10 miles from town.

Virtually all 868 acres is usable. There is 221 acres of water rights irrigated from a well that produces in excess of 800 GPM. There is approximately 2 ½ miles of duck infested canal winding through the property creating some 200 acres of lush, green sub-irrigated meadows. and at least another 210 acres of good farm ground. The balance is now being pastured, but could also be dry farmed. There is a brand new center pivot with a 5 year warranty and a wheel line that needs some work.. A 14 acre reservoir needs some repair, but has the authority to be reinstated. This will not only create additional irrigation water storage, but be very beneficial to wildlife as well. Wildlife consists of Pronghorn Antelope, Mule Deer, waterfowl and various species of song birds and birds of prey, as well as other small animals. The reservoir, if properly maintained, could conceivably be stocked with fish.

Improvements on the ranch, other than the irrigation equipment, is minimal, but are located at an old homestead that is in a beautiful, grand and private setting. There is a good hay shed and small shop. The corrals need a lot of repair.

This ranch should be capable of running 150 to 200 mother cows year round.

VALLEY FALLS RANCH
This historic ranch, once headquarters of the sprawling Heryford family holdings in the 1800’s, has been owned by the same family since 1910. It is one of the most efficient mid sized ranches in all of Eastern Oregon. One of the owners friends commented "Why would he want to sell it now? He’s got it to where it practically runs itself."

LOCATION: Twenty-four miles north of Lakeview Oregon, a town of approximately 2800. Lakeview is 90 miles east of Klamath Falls, 240 miles north of Reno Nevada, 320 miles southwest of Boise Idaho and 170 miles southeast of Bend Oregon. The town is known for its friendly people and easygoing lifestyle. There is adequate shopping for groceries, hardware, clothing, building supplies, etc. Or, for a larger selection, Klamath Falls is only a short hour and 40 minutes away. Klamath Falls, with a population of 50,000, has several large grocery stores, Wal-Mart, Fred Myer, Big R, Diamond and Home Depot. Lake District Hospital, in Lakeview, is a modern medical facility with doctors offices, acute care facility and a long term care unit. It features a heliport in case someone needs to be flown out for specialized treatment.

CLIMATE: This part of Oregon has a four seasons climate and is much dryer and far less humid than the part of the state west of the Cascade Mountains. The climate at the ranch is somewhat milder than it is in Lakeview, which is 500 feet higher in elevation. Normally there is 300 plus days of sunshine. Average precipitation is 14 to 16 inches. Growing season is about 105 days.

TOPOGRAPHY: The deeded portion of the ranch is mostly level with some rolling terrain along the south and west. The irrigated meadows have a gentle slope to the east, which makes them a breeze to irrigate. Elevation at the ranch headquarters is 4300 feet. The dam at the reservoir site is at 4600 feet.

LAND: The ranch consists of over 5,216 deeded acres containing 1,600 acres of irrigated meadows; 2,400 acres of tillable ground now in sage, native pasture and Crested Wheatgrass; 500 acres of range and reservoir site and approximately 100 acres of home sites, corrals, barn, shop, ditches, canals, streams, etc. Virtually all the tillable ground is capable of growing alfalfa. There is also an additional 5,000 acres of private land leased annually for spring grazing. This land was owned by the ranch until recently purchased by individuals for hunting. Buyers of the ranch would need to negotiate for this lease separately. The ranch also has a BLM permit for spring turnout.

WATER: Adjudicated water rights for over 1,600 acres from Crooked Creek, Juniper Creek and Willow Creek have priority dates of 1873 and 1890. The Chewaucan River crosses the northeast corner of the ranch.

WILDLIFE: Wildlife is abundant and includes Pronghorn Antelope, Mule deer and an occasional Bighorn Sheep as well as multitudes of waterfowl and other species of birds and birds of prey. Hunting opportunities are good for both Antelope and Deer and the ranch qualifies for 5 LOP tags for both. Duck and goose hunting is also very good.

IMPROVEMENTS: There are two homes. The main house has 1767 square feet plus a full basement. It has 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, custom oak cabinets, large family/living room, formal dining, patio, deck, above ground pool, hot tub and double garage. An automatic underground sprinkler system irrigates the lawn. The second home is a 1980 Fuqua double wide manufactured home on a full foundation with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and 2 decks. It too has a double garage. The very large barn is in good condition considering it was built around the late 1880’s and is still in use although it could definitely use a new roof. The old original ranch house, built about the same time, is still standing. It is currently used for storage. There is a 40 x 80 shop with a bathroom. The corrals are designed to handle large numbers of cattle efficiently and with minimum manpower. It features a 32,000 pound scale, hydraulic squeeze (indoors and on a cement floor), loading chute and loading alley for goose neck trailers. There are two 58 x 144 all steel hay barns. All the improvements, including the perimeter and cross fencing, is in excellent condition. You have to see this ranch to believe how well maintained it is!

OPERATION: The ranch has traditionally been operated as a cow/calf operation. Owner runs 500 to 550 mother cows year round. He calves in early summer and carries the calves over to the following April. He has been running 500, 1400 pound cows, plus replacements, and selling some hay annually. However, current numbers are down due to heavy culling and stands at 470 cow/calf pair, 49 bred heifers and 21 bulls. The cattle will be available to the new owner at market price.

TAXES: There are 19 tax lots and the property tax for this past year was $9,000.

SUMMARY: This ranch is a very efficient and well maintained operation. All improvements are in excellent condition and the grounds are very clean and free of trash and debris. It serves the owners well and they are content to run it the way it is. However, there is significant opportunity to greatly increase the productivity, and thus the value of this ranch. With another 2,200 acres of good farmland not presently under irrigation, it seems reasonable to assume that one could do that by investing in irrigation wells and equipment. There is a well less than one half mile from this ranch that is 545 feet deep and produces 2100 gallons per minute with a static level of less than ten feet. It irrigates several alfalfa fields that produce very high quality hay. Also, there was a reservoir on Juniper Creek that backed water up for a mile and held 1000 acre feet of water. There is a natural spillway to the west of the old dam, but the earthen dam, not being engineered, was not high enough and consequently washed out during a wet year. It was never rebuilt, but most likely could be. This would have to be approved by the Oregon Water Resources Department. It is estimated there could be up to 8 pivots on the Valley Falls Ranch.

This is not a forced sale. The ranch is free and clear. It makes a good living for the present third generation owners, but none of their kids are interested in the ranch and they would like to move on to something else while they are still young. Since it is a family corporation, the brothers feel the only way to accomplish their goals is to sell.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone to step into a ranch that is already a "going concern" but still has great investment potential.
