Running Spur Ranch

Just over an hour west of Boise and a few minutes outside Vale, Oregon, this 559 acre gentlemans ranch sits above the Malheur River Valley, surrounded by productive farmland known for onions, potatoes, corn, alfalfa, and cattle. The setup here is clean, practical, and built with purpose. A 3,020 square-foot home anchors the property with a functional yet aesthetic layout, including travertine tile underfoot and a well-appointed kitchen. The home has a wide-open feel, with spacious common areas that flow naturally from kitchen to dining to living room, all lined with windows that pull in the view and natural light. A short walk across the breezeway takes you to an oversized garage. Two outbuildings infuse function into the compound: the 44 x 56 barn offers large overhead doors on either end for easy pull-through access, two horse stalls, a climate-controlled office, a bathroom, and hot water. Just beyond that, the 39 x 36 shop includes finished flex space, a workshop area, and covered hay storage. Additional site features include loafing sheds, working corrals, water tanks, and fenced pastures rounding out a property ready to run cattle, keep horses, or both. Hunting here is no afterthought. With Bureau of Land Management (BLM) ground bordering the north boundary, the ranch sees steady mule deer activity and upland bird habitat. Spring and fall bring dense waterfowl traffic thanks to its position along the Pacific Flyway. What sets this ranch apart is how well the home and infrastructure support the lifestyle. There are no shortcuts, just solid ground.
