Coos Bay, OR 97420 - Coos County

The 604 acre Kurzet Ranch is a secluded coastal ranch and one of the largest private landholdings located near the Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, North Bend Airport, South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve and the resort community of Bandon by the Sea. It has a combination of timber, recreation and conservation opportunities, which have both near-term cash flow, and long-term asset growth.

The property is being offered for the first time to the general public, and includes two homes, shop that can accommodate a helicopter, four barns, and an estimated 11.6 million board feet of 50- to 60-year old Sitka spruce, Douglas-fir, hemlock, and red alder. There are also 142 acres of high-quality bottomland with water rights for irrigation, and a reservoir.

There are over 3.5 miles of Big Creek and East Fork Big Creek, both tributaries to Coos Bay, and both along the bottomland. Big Creek continues to support a notable population of coho salmon according to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, providing opportunity for riparian habitat enhancement.

The 16,000 acre South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve -- an arm of Coos Bay -- is one of two protected estuarines in the Pacific Northwest, and is just east of the Ranch.

Mill Casino and Hotel is located in nearby North Bend, and Bandon by the Sea, with its historic bay front, is a 20-minute drive from the Ranch.

The property has a resident Roosevelt Elk herd and resident herd of deer, and qualifies for two land owner preference tags.The Ranch is located in the Coos Bay Wildlife Unit.

The Ranch has 15 acres with residential zoning along the Seven Devils Road frontage that would allow additional development of 2 acre home sites. The balance of the property is zoned Exclusive Farm Use and Forestry.
