DESCRIPTION: The 4,865± acre Bear Creek Ranch is located in the John Day River Valley between Prairie City and John Day and has spectacular views south of the Strawberry Wilderness, with over six miles of Bear Creek frontage. Bear Creek is year-round and portions are steelhead spawning areas. The property has excellent access from Highway 26 and is within a forty-minute drive of historic Baker City at I-84, providing four-season access for a private retreat. The Ranch is being offered in its entirety, or in three parcels ranging from 160 to 3,500± acres.

Bear Creek Ranch has been managed for commercial timber production with an estimated 3,600 acres containing well-stocked stands of pine and fir that will provide future harvests in the next ten to twenty years. The existing volume is estimated at 7 to 8 million board feet. The balance of the Ranch is primarily grazing land and there is a grazing allotment for 200 head in the adjoining Malheur National Forest that can be assigned to the new Owner of the entire Ranch with approval from the U.S. Forest Service.

Keeney Fork Road provides access from Highway 26 to the entire Ranch, with USFS roads providing additional access to the northern portion of the property. There are two outparcels — 160± acres owned by a rifle club in Parcel B and 40± acres that comprise a rock pit in Parcel A.

The Ranch is located in the Northside Game Management Unit and a new owner will qualify for up to four Land Owner Preference Tags. This area of Grant County is known for elk, deer and some upland birds.

There are a number of excellent building sites for a ranch complex, cabin or hunting lodge. (See Supplemental Information Package for Grant County zoning and land use.)
