52880 Lost Valley Rd

Description

Experience one of Oregon’s most wild areas at the Lost Valley Creek Ranch outside of Condon, the county seat of one of Oregon’s least populated counties (Gilliam County). Like most of the county, the ranch is surrounded by golden hills of wheat and range ground, making it a hotbed of wildlife and agriculture. Deer, elk, coyotes, and upland birds enjoy the
rolling hills and creek bottom draws that provide ample water and coverage on this 4,000.8± acre ranch, making it a prime prospect for a hunter’s private preserve. In recent years, quality mule deer bucks have been harvested on this ranch.

Lost Valley Creek Ranch is fenced and cross-fenced for cattle and has multiple improvements to sustain a year-round or seasonal cattle operation. Its hay barns, livestock barns, corrals, grain storages, machine sheds, shops, and sheds are all useful and “with good bones.”

The property has two dwellings: a 2,264± square foot three-bedroom, two-bath home originally built in 1954. Updates since the original construction include a metal roof, aluminum siding, vinyl windows, and Trex decking. The second dwelling, built in 1924, has one bedroom and one bath and has also had some updates since construction, but is again
ready for updating.

Because it is in a climate not known for heavy precipitation, the real gem of Lost Valley Creek Ranch is the surface water on the ranch. The ranch has two creeks, Lost Valley Creek and East Fork Thirtymile Creek, and multiple ponds and springs providing water for cattle and wildlife.

If you wish to connect with the land and enjoy the fruits of labor from time lost, Lost Valley Creek Ranch is your ranch.
