Description of the Land
LOCATION: This ranch is situated in a highly desirable area in Central Oregon, just 1 hour
North of Bend and 1 hour East of Mt. Hood, Oregon. Portland, OR and Portland
International Airport are within 2 hours of the ranch. Located in Jefferson County, Deschutes River Ranch is just 10 minutes from Madras.

ACREAGE: This ranch consists of over 17,000+/- acres. 1,200+/- deeded acres, 880+/- acres BLM Permit, and 15,000+/- acres Cattle Grazing Association- managed by the USFS.

SETTING: This highly desirable pasture cattle ranch is bordered by miles of the Deschutes
River Corridor which is prized by anglers as one of the finest rivers in the Western US for Trout and Steelhead fishing. Sheer granite and rock cliffs blend with timber land, pasture land, 11 ponds, streams, waterfalls, and the shimmering free
flowing river. The ranch provides access to this pristine river.

CATTLE OPERATION: Seller reports that 1.5- 2 tons of hay in winter is average. The irrigated portions of the ranch are all currently in pasture. Seller does not raise any hay, but it is readily available in the local market.

ELEVATION: Elevations of the ranch run from about 1,000+/- feet along the river to about
2,500+/- feet at the headquarters. Summer range land is higher.

IRRIGATION: This ranch is located at the end of the irrigation district. Between water rights and
natural sub-irrigation, there are a total of about 300+/- acres of irrigated pasture. All irrigation is put on via sprinklers. A large portion of the irrigated acres are supplied through a gravity flow high pressure system, which uses no electricity.

RIVER / FISHING / HUNTING: The deeded portion of this ranch fronts public lands. The public lands front 5+/- miles of river, providing excellent fishing for Steelhead and Trout. 11 ponds located on the deeded portion of the ranch offer great private fishing for trout, bass
and panfish. The deer hunting is excellent. Elk and other big game also frequent areas of the ranch. A portion of the ranch is a licensed Upland Game preserve. The seller currently operates a hunting/fishing/recreation business allowing for guided hunts of pheasant, chukar and quail from August 1 to March 31. The wild population of chukar and quail are plentiful as well as in-season mourning doves and migratory water fowl.

AIR SERVICE: Just 8 minutes from the ranch there is a jet-capable airport in Madras, Oregon.
Commercial air service is less than 30 minutes from the ranch in Redmond, OR.

HOMES/BUILDINGS: The owner’s home offers 2,568+/- sq. ft. of living space with four bedrooms and 2 baths. It affords the owner a large deck for bar-b-que’s and entertaining. This ranch also offers:
Separate Bunk House
Corrals
Barn
* Building for skeet shooting and golf ball tee area
* Large storage building with a shop area and several storage bays
Storage building that has been converted to a rec room with full bar

WATER & POWER: A very large amount of fresh water flows through the ranch from Frog Springs Creek, a main feeder to the Deschutes River. There are cascading waterfalls and 11 ponds and small lakes on the ranch. In addition to the water flowing from Frog Springs Creek, excess runoff water from irrigation also flows through the Creek and ranch. The seller is currently pursuing the possibility of generating hydro-electric power.

RECREATION & MARKETING: The seller has leveraged the recreational resources available with this unique ranch. He has allowed hunting and recreation for corporate and private clients and feels that this concept could be expanded on by a new owner. A new owner might want to continue to pursue and highlight the desirability of corporate retreats, team building, client and
guest ranch accommodations, hunting, fishing and other recreation venues. The seller would consider selling an interest in the ranch to pursue this, or would consider an outright sale of the whole property. The seller is pursuing an application for zoning of a guest ranch which, if granted, would allow the owner to build additional lodging.

PRICE & TERMS: $3,650,000
Cash and/or owner may carry and/or owner may consider a partial trade for a smaller ranch or other real estate. All written offers will be considered. When buyer makes an acceptable offer, that offer is subject to a 5 day first right refusal.

COMMENTS: There are over 200 lakes within a 100 mile radius of this ranch as well as dozens of championship golf courses. Aside from great hunting and fishing, this ranch offers miles of hiking and horseback riding over historic and unspoiled trails, as well as canoeing, kayaking and rafting on the Deschutes River. From rock climbing at the ranch or at nearby Smith Rock, skiing/snowboarding at Mt. Hood or Mt. Bachelor, to waterskiing and wake-boarding at one of the nearby lakes, this ranch is in the heart of it all. So whether you want to play or just relax and enjoy the privacy and magnificent views of the ranch, Deschutes River Ranch is for you. Bring your family, friends, cattle, horses, and your love for the outdoors, recreation, and wildlife.
