RANCH AND
IMPROVEMENTS
The 458± acre Rock’n LB Ranch is located in
the Upper Klamath Basin, 14 miles east of
Upper Klamath Lake along a meandering
main stem of the Sprague River, within a
wide-open valley of primarily private
ranches surrounded by Winema National
Forest. The Sprague River is a tributary to
the Williamson River and known as a
“meadow stream” with brook, rainbow and
brown trout, and bass. Near a spring on the
Sprague River in the southeast corner of the
Ranch is an outstanding fishing hole. The
Ranch is at an elevation of 4,200± to 4,300±
feet and has frontage along Williamson River
Road, with paved year-round access to
Chiloquin and Highway 97 north to Bend
and south to Klamath Falls.
The riverfront extends along the entire
southern boundary of the Ranch, with
ownership of both riverbanks in the
southeast section of the property, including
small islands between the river and channel.
The property is primarily rolling to flat
pastureland lined with timber, having an
estimated 296± acres of irrigated pasture and
151± acres of non-irrigated pasture and
timberland. Ranch headquarters are located
on 10± acres along a ridge top overlooking
the Sprague River, with gated paved entry
drive to the caretaker residence, corrals,
horse pen and main residence, shop and
horse barn. The main residence was built in
1973, caretaker residence constructed in 2005
and horse barn and shop built during the
last ten years. There is a stock pond below
the main residence near the river and a
second stock pond in the northwest corner of
the western pasture.
Williamson River Road runs along the
northern portion of the Ranch; the entire
property is fenced, with opportunity for
cross-fencing to improve productivity of the
pastureland.
The estimated carrying capacity of the Ranch
is 250 head for five to six months for summer
pasture, and has historically run 180 head on
a year-round basis with winter feed.
The 296± acres of pasture are flood irrigated
from a main line, with three pumping
stations along the Sprague River.
There is a rock road system that provides
access from the main entry road to the
riverfront which extends from the area
below the main residence by the stock
pond and pumping station, and then goes
east to the southeast corner and the third
pumping station.
The Ranch is being offered in two parcels.
Parcel A is 299± acres, all located in Section
24 (Tax Lots 2000 and 2100) and includes the
Ranch complex with two homes, shop, horse
barn and hay shed, and an estimated 235±
acres of irrigated pasture with 1.5± miles of
riverfront. Parcel B is 158± acres, all located
in Section 19 with an estimated 60± acres of
irrigated pasture and .4± mile of riverfront.
The sale of these two parcels as separate
parcels will require an allocation of water
rights and some reconfiguration of the
irrigation system’s mainline. A new entry
road for Parcel B will need to be developed
from Williamson River Road.
