An estimated 1.3 million seedlings were planted by
the Seller from 1992 through 2003, making Foley Butte
Block one of the largest reforestation projects to take
place on private lands in central Oregon. The replant-
ing of 3,000 acres, and a program of pre-commercial
thinning and limited harvesting, has significantly in-
creased the long-term productivity and asset growth
of the tree farm.
The property has a location strategic to year-round rec-

Outside Magazine
recently rated central Oregon
as one of the top fifteen sports and recreation commu-

The Foley Butte Block has limited public access. It ex-
tends nine miles north to south, seven miles east to
west, and is located along the slopes of the Ochoco
Mountains, at elevations that range from 3,100± to
5,484± feet, with a lookout tower maintained by the
Oregon Department of Forestry, providing added
fire protection. There are over 147 miles of creeks that
contain the headwaters of Willow, Foley and Mar-
tin Creeks, all tributary to the Deschutes River Basin
and Fall, Allen and Lofton Creeks, all tributary to the
Crooked River. The 141 miles of logging roads provide
access for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding,
and cross country skiing and snowmobiling in the
winter. There are exceptional locations along Foley
and Martin Creeks in the northeast corner, along Fall
and Allen Creeks and by Martin Lake in the eastern
section, and along Willow Creek in the western sec-
tion, that could all be developed as a base camp or
seasonal retreat. There is an existing two-bedroom
cabin that overlooks a meadow along Willow Creek
at the western entry to the property. The property
