, John Day, OR - Grant County

John Day Valley Rancher

Location: This property is located approximately 4 miles west of John Day,

Oregon on Highway 26. The house is about ¼ mile off of the

highway.

Size: 17.3 acres of which 8 acres is irrigated either by flood or hand lines.

The property is fenced with cross fencing also.

Elevation: 2941’

Water: Live water all year round through an irrigation ditch that runs

through the ranch. They irrigate from this also. House water is

from a shared well with another home adjacent to the property.

Neither home has ever run out of water. Owner believes it is

170’ at 32 gpm.

Climate: This valley is very mild in the winter and has a lot of sunny days

year round. Of all of the areas in Eastern Oregon, I believe this

valley has the best climate by far!!! Rainfall will average 12-16”

Livestock: Horses have been run on this small ranch primarily but cattle

could be used to graze it. There also is a concrete/chain link

dog run. With 8 acres irrigated it is easy to keep up with the

animals if it isn’t intensively grazed.

Trees: There are deciduous trees along the water canal. Also, there are

cherry, apple, pear, and plum trees. There are blackberry and

raspberry vines in the garden area.

Pool and Hot Tub: The pool is rated at 35,000 gallons being approximately

16’x30’. It is in excellent condition. The hot tub is

a 6-8 man tub and is also is very good working order.

Home: Four bedroom, 4 bath, 2 living rooms, utility room, large kitchen, 2

fireplaces, natural shingles, rock/natural wood exterior, planters

around the home, concrete drive in, patio with pool, hot tub. It uses

a heat pump with two Monitor heaters. It has AC.

Wildlife: Deer use the property year round because it is a mild winter area

and it is green. The hunting units are very well known for their

large deer and elk populations. Upland birds as well as migratory

waterfowl inhabit the area.

General Observations: Living in Grant County is like a small step back in

time. With 85,000 square miles and a population of

7,000 you are somewhat secluded and know your

neighbors. You ARE NOT in an adversarial

position with the county government. They need

you and are friendly to your concerns(amazing!!)

The climate is great and the city of John Day has

about anything that you might need. If not UPS

comes the next day. It is an ideal climate and

offers unlimited recreational possibilities with

hunting, snowmobiling, steelhead/bass fishing,

…just about anything.

Taxes: $2455

Price: $350,000
