57 Ranch

Located in the beautiful Keating Valley of Northeast Oregon is the 57 Ranch. Comprised of approximately 262 acres of irrigated pastures, river bottom, and range ground, this ranch is an ideal combination of property. An excellent set of improvements complements the high quality ranch lands. The ranch is easily accessible from Hwy. 86 allowing for an ease of travel into Baker City, which is 21.1 miles away, as well as quick access to the Eagle Cap Wilderness and Hells Canyon National Recreation Area. The 57 Ranch operates as a self-contained cow/calf operation with the ability to run up to 60 pairs according to the owners. Currently, 90 +/- acres are irrigated with water pumped directly from the Powder River, by wheel lines for the irrigated pasture and grass hay fields. An additional 37 +/- acres of water rights have the potential to be developed. A convenient out the gate BLM allotment for spring grazing is an excellent complement to the deeded pastures. On site cattle handling facilities are easily accessible providing easy transportation of livestock. The ranch house is comprised of 2,720 square feet, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The home was tastefully remodeled in 2015 with many high-quality finishes. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, Kenmore Deluxe double oven & propane cooktop, granite counters and hardwood floors. The master suite features a clawfoot tub, tile walk in shower, dual vanities, and easy access to the large walk in closet. A large, locally sourced rock fireplace is featured between the dining and living areas. Steps away from the home is a 2.5 +/- acre pond with a boat dock stocked with bass. Improvements on the ranch are highlighted by a 5,000 +/- square foot shop with 4 roll-up doors. Three of the bays are open to each other and provide plenty of room to store equipment and supplies and the 4th bay is an enclosed workshop. The shop also includes a one bedroom, one bathroom living quarters with radiant heat, complete with a full kitchen and living room. Also located within the shop is a complete indoor/outdoor dog kennel system for up to 5 separate kennels.  Northeast Oregon is a region well known for its high-quality historic farms, ranches, and productive agricultural lands. The region is also an outdoor recreational paradise, with access to thousands of acres of public lands. A few of the endless activities include fishing the Grande Ronde and Snake Rivers, hunting trophy class deer and elk, to skiing some of the best powder snow you can find in the western United States. Northeast Oregon is home to abundant water, including the Snake River, which the Powder River flows into, that allows for excellent fishing, white water rafting, water sports, and many other recreational opportunities. Co-listed with Bob Reedy, Baker City Realty.
