9,569 Acres with Home, Hunting Game, Equine Facilities, River Frontage, Spring in Grant County, Kimberly, Oregon

The picturesque Big Basin Ranch in eastern Oregon has everything you want and more! The ranch headquarters is located approximately 11 miles south of Kimberly Oregon in the heart of the John Day Fossil Bed National Monument area. Consisting of 9,569 deeded acres with varied terrain which includes the John Day River frontage, tabletop sloping pastures, springs, creeks, and pine tree timbered draws makes this a solid cattle ranch with beautiful landscapes.  The ranch also host a world class home and wildlife including mule deer, antelope, and rocky mountain elk. Along with the private land, there is also acreage of private Bureau of land Management (BLM) grazing leases allowing for over 1200 animal unit months (AUM’s). The current owners run the ranch with a small herd of cattle, grow alfalfa hay and conduct projects to add to the wildlife and habitat opportunities.  This focus on sustainable stewardship has increased the productivity of the native grasslands, added additional tons of alfalfa in the hay fields, developed 40 plus spring water sources for cattle & wildlife, and significantly reduced the Juniper tree population, benefiting groundwater and helping prevent wildfire. Constructed improvements include an over 3000 square feet custom built home overlooking the iconic Sugarloaf Mountain, Cathedral Rock and Windy Point.  Other amenities include guest/manager house, large shop, haybarn, two sets of working corrals, Quonset hut shop, and a hunting cabin. All the improvements are in good condition and show pride of ownership. The Big Basin Ranch is centrally located in Oregon and is approximately 105 miles from the Redmond Airport which hosts many commercial flights, 125 miles from Bend, Oregon, 225 miles to Portland, Oregon, and 235 miles to Boise, Idaho.
