Eastern Oregon Lower Silvies River Ranch

This Eastern Oregon Property is located approximately 30 minutes Southeast of Burns, Oregon. The owner has been using the ranch as summer pasture for roughly 300 head of cattle from April 15th to the end of October along with putting up 100-400 tons of meadow hay on a regular water year. The property has good stock water and approximately 1.5 miles of Silvies running through the property. The acreage has nearly 2,000 acres of irrigated ground from the Silvies River, all of which is flood irrigated. Crops are primarily native hay meadows with the remaining consisting of native pasture. The ground has several portions of cross-fenced and the entire border being cross-fenced. Improvements on the ground are two sets of working corals, a stacking yard, a GP shed, & a stick-built home. The home consists of 2,690 sqft & is currently being renovated by the homeowner. It is a 4 bed & 2 bath setup providing an adequate setup for a future owner or ranch hand. The ranch has a rich history of being used as a Duck Hunting Club in the late 70s and early 80s as it borders the Malheur Lake, creating a large ecosystem of waterfowl & duck. Big game hunting includes deer & antelope. Other wildlife includes a range of birds throughout the seasons primarily including hawks, eagles, sandhill cranes, coyotes, & more. Overall, the Lower Silvies River Ranch is a great location for summer pasture. With the current cross fencing & the seasonal runoff that self-irrigates the acreage, it creates a low maintenance setup. LOCATION: T25S R32E W.M. Tax Lot 6700 T25S R32E W.M.
