This is a great cattle and hay ranch approximately 37 miles SE of Burns Oregon on Hwy 78. The current owner pastures approximately 125 head of heifers all summer on the deeded land on a small BLM permit that is out the back door. There is also hay production under 3 pivots irrigating 324 acres from 3 irrigation wells that produce great water. You could increase the cattle running capacity easily by converting some or all the pivots into irrigated pasture.
Improvements include a triplewide manufactured home sitting on a westerly sloping hillside overlooking the irrigated ground with ranch amenities of machines sheds, small hay barns & working corrals.
Wildlife include Rocky Mountain Elk, mule deer, antelope, chuckers, quail, geese & ducks.
The ranch terrain ranges from valley flat lands where the irrigation is next to, westerly sloping hillside with draws, rimrocks, ranging 800’ in elevation overlooking the Harney Valley.
This Eastern Oregon Ranch/Farm has a lot of potential for whatever direction you are looking for whether it be cattle operation or hay production.
