Expansive Organic Ranch in Eastern Oregon: Spanning an impressive 561.39 deeded acres just 15 minutes from Lakeview, Oregon, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of organic farming, equestrian facilities, and ranching potential. Nestled along Andy Hill Road and Shults Lane, the ranch boasts 399 acres of senior water rights supported by the Clyde Fenimore Reservoir, which provides reliable irrigation storage alongside a vibrant wildlife habitat. The land is thoughtfully irrigated by three valley pivots, wheel lines, and flood irrigation, nurturing certified organic fields of alfalfa and grass mixtures that support premium hay production and rotational grazing. Lease income from a neighboring producer grazing a portion of the land further enhances the operational versatility of this balanced agricultural estate. Custom Home and Superior Improvements: A custom-built 2,501-square-foot home, completed in 2014, overlooks the serene reservoir and surrounding natural landscape. The residence features two spacious bedrooms, 2.5 luxurious bathrooms, and an oversized three-car garage. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams complement the open kitchen, which is outfitted with custom oak cabinetry, granite countertops, and high-end Wolf appliances. The master suite offers a spa-like bath with heated towel racks and a marble walk-in shower, while radiant floor heating and an on-demand water heater ensure comfort throughout. Supporting the working ranch lifestyle are substantial outbuildings including a 2,000-square-foot concrete-floored shop, a 5,000-square-foot hay cover with crushed rock base, and pristine horse stables with five stalls, tack room, and wash area-each strategically positioned for operational efficiency. Water Rights and Irrigation Infrastructure: The ranch is equipped with extensive water rights totaling over 399 acres of irrigation entitlement, supported by multiple sources including the reservoir and a dedicated irrigation well. Water is delivered via three booster pumps to the valley pivots, wheel lines, and flood-irrigated fields, ensuring optimal coverage for the productive organic crops. The Clyde Fenimore Reservoir, with a storage capacity of 57 acre-feet, not only secures the ranch's irrigation needs but also enriches the property's diverse wildlife habitat, frequently visited by waterfowl and deer, adding a scenic and recreational dimension to this working farm. Ideal Location and Operational Potential: Located at 17425 Andy Hill Rd, this property stands as a premier example of country living in southeastern Oregon, combining large acreage, reliable water infrastructure, and high-quality improvements. Whether your vision includes expanding cattle operations with efficient rotational grazing, enhancing organic hay production, or maintaining a well-appointed equestrian facility, this ranch offers unparalleled opportunities.
