The Buck Mountain Ranch is a 7,565 acre cattle and premier mountain

hunting ranch offering world class elk and trophy mule deer hunting.

The ranch is located in Grant County, Oregon midway between Burns

and John Day. The ranch is incredibly well watered and has

exceptional improvements. Buck Mountain Ranch consists of 4960+/-

contiguous deeded acres together with a USFS grazing permit of

approximately 2604 +/- contiguous acres on the Malheur National

Forest.

Buck Mountain ranch offers all of Eastern Oregon's finest. It has

incredible privacy, unbelievable scenery, superb hunting and excellent

grazing. Water abounds everywhere on the Buck Mountain Ranch.

There are over 20 springs and miles of live water creeks. Many of the

springs are developed with troughs or ponds to supplement livestock

and wildlife. All irrigation water is free water. It flows out of

mountain creeks and is diverted into ditches to be spread across the

meadows. The water rights on the ranch are excellent with some of

them having a priority date as early as 1886. There are around 450

acres of irrigated and sub-irrigated meadows on the Buck Mountain

ranch. There are meadows everywhere. Livestock do very well in the

lush, high elevation, irrigated pastures. The ranch has 247 +/- acres of

water rights on Lewis Creek, 36 +/- on Officer's Creek, 1.6 on Johnnies

Creek, and 64 +/- acres of water rights on Antelope Creek. In addtion

to all of the water mentioned above, the ranch also has several ponds

which offer great fishing opportunities for native trout.

In addition to the 4960 +/- acres of deeded ground, there is also a nice

USFS grazing permit adjacent to the ranch. The Lewis Creek on/off

permit is a 2600 +/- acre private permit that allows you to graze in the

spring or fall. The location is excellent as it allows for you to trail

cattle to and from it. No cattle have to be put on a truck.

The 6780 sq. ft. lodge style main home sits in a stand of pine trees

above a private open meadow. The house includes 3 bedrooms, all

with full bathrooms, 2 half baths, a finished basement, river rock

fireplaces, extensive cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a sunroom,

a greenhouse, three fireplaces, a lofted office and master bedroom, a

library, 2000 sq. ft. of decks and a three-car garage. The home is

located 2 miles down a very private driveway where you can enjoy

your surroundings with no interruptions. This house simply has to be

seen to fully appreciate it!

Buck Mountain Ranch offers world class elk hunting and trophy mule

deer hunting as well. The ranch sits in the Murderer's Creek hunting

unit which is very well known in Oregon for producing record book

bulls and bucks. As a testament to it's quality, in 2009 a bull was killed

on Buck Mountain that grossed 380. One of the top 5 bulls of all time

killed in Oregon with a bow. There have been multiple bulls killed in

the 310 350 class, and even a few in the 350 plus range. The mule

deer opportunities are exceptional as well. You can plan on seeing lots

of bucks, and should be able to consistently harvest bucks in the 170

200 class. Try to find another ranch on the market in Oregon that can

run with that! In addition to elk and deer, there are also antelope,

black bear, mountain lion, bobcat, chukkars, grouse and turkey's on

the property.
