There is something therapeutic about being in the outdoors. A rebirth of the soul seems to happen each time dirt is ground under your boot, branches brush off your jacket, or an unfettered wind lightly chills you. It appears that the moment you leave the veneer of society behind and venture into the wilderness, things change for the better. It is that feeling that has guided Ray Livingston throughout his entire life.

T

hese days, my husband and I live in Crested Butte, CO. We regularly contend with cold weather. His family lives in Houston. They don’t. In February, the average high temperature in Houston is 64°F and the average low is 48°F. During the headline-grabbing Deep Freeze of 2021, temperatures in Houston dipped as low 13°F with wind chills hovering around 0°F. According to the National Weather Service, there was a total of 8 days, 23 hours, and 23 minutes of winter highlights between the first Winter Weather Advisory issued on Thursday, February 11 at 9:37 A.M. to when the last Hard Freeze Warning expired at 9 A.M. on Saturday, February 20.

Texans are prepared for tornadoes, hurricanes, floods (flash and otherwise), dust storms, wildfires, straight line winds, softball-sized hail and earth-scorching drought. They are not prepared for extended bouts of plummeting mercury.

Municipal water pipes aren’t buried deep. Plumbing isn’t insulated. Cities and towns don’t have sand trucks to make roads and bridges navigable. No one has snow tires or chains. Many people have never driven on snow or ice. Winter is usually the low season for power use. Texans generally need air conditioning not heating.

For people who live north of the Mason-Dixon Line, an extended cold spell isn’t particularly noteworthy. Down South it’s life-threatening.

Across Texas, ranchers lost livestock. In some cases, whole herds of sheep, cattle and goats. Wildlife carcasses, native and exotic, large and small, littered the countryside. Fish, particularly saltwater species, floated belly up in the aftermath of the cold. And, of course, the plants, acclimatized to warmer climes, took a direct hit.

I have a friend and colleague who lives in Brenham, Texas, the home of Blue Bell Ice Cream. Brenham is about 75 miles west of Houston—and it got even colder there than in my husband’s sprawling urban hometown. My friend is a rancher’s daughter and amateur gardener who derives great peace and pleasure by being outside and getting dirt under her nails. In early March, two weeks after the Deep Freeze, she began assessing the damage to her yard. The decision? Prune and pray or administer last rites.

According to her landscaper, the survivability litmus test, at least for woody plants was whether or not the plants dropped their damaged leaves. If a plant dropped its leaves, it was likely that it would recover, but if the dead leaves hung on like drying clothes on a line, the plant was likely dead.

The difference? The condition of the roots.

He assured her that plants that sprang from bulbs, like her beloved Morea irises, would be fine. They just needed to be cut back to the base and given time, rain and sunshine. Although the irises looked as lifeless as the rest, she took the expert at his word and lopped the dead, draping leaves off even with the ground. Today, March 11, exactly a month to the day of cold spell’s onset, she sent me a photo. Vibrant green shoots are stretching toward the sun.

It struck me that her cold-ravaged garden provides a metaphor for life in 2021. A year ago, COVID-19 came into our lives with the force of a once-in-a-half-century Arctic cold front in Texas.

Life froze. Collectively and individually, we’ve been paralyzed, storm-tossed and battered. Now, we stand with our faces to the life-giving sun, needing rain for our spirits and time for our souls.

Like cold-scarred plants, our resilience depends on the condition of our roots. Throughout my life, but perhaps even more so over the past years, I’ve chosen to anchor myself with my faith, my family which includes my friends, and time in nature. Like a plant in fertile soil, I’m poised for renewal—and anticipating new growth.

It’s no secret that plants—and people—thrive in the country. As you envision your own personal renewal, might I suggest you flip through our pages and seek out the place where you want to set down roots. Who knows, it might just be on the Eagle Rock Ranch in Grant County, Oregon, which is featured on our inside cover?

In addition to offering the best of the best in ranches and rural properties, we explore how to maximize the value of timber, highlight the benefits of investing in rich California farm and ranch land, and showcase the design-build prowess of Western Heritage Consulting & Engineering.

Finally, we introduce you to Ray Livingston, a Washington State resident who has put down roots far off the beaten path. Ray chose to live life on his own terms.

As you renew and seek out your own unique trail, may his words provide a true North: “We can put barriers up and tell ourselves there is no way we can live our dreams; however, the truth of the matter is that we can do anything we set our hearts to.

We only need to make a choice LAURET JARVIS and put our thoughts and energy into realizing the lives we want EDITOR-IN-CHIEF LJARVIS@LAND.COM for ourselves. If we do that, Let's Connect anything is possible.”

ASSOCIATION

Experience Matters Several things come to mind when one begins the long journey to finding the perfect property. Buyers in most markets prioritize their search based on regional needs such as traffic routes, travel times, future uses, proximity to the right schools, the best hospitals, shopping and exit strategies.

Mountain Brokers serve many clients with the same search criteria, but above all, we face emotion, dealing more in “wants” rather than in “needs.”

While the mountain buyer typically searches for value and exit strategies, many of the more typical search criteria are left by the wayside as the search climbs in altitude. The traffic counts convert to wildlife migrations, the perfect schools turn to the right stream flow rates for the perfect flyfishing adventure, and future uses turn to thoughts of building a legacy with current and future family members.

Colorado is much like the rest of the nation; when the real estate market sees a bump in activity, it seems like everyone becomes a licensed real estate broker. As the joke says, Recently while checking out at the grocery store, the person in front of me was asked for some identification to cash a check. The cashier asked the person for a real estate license; when asked why a real estate license, the cashier responded, “not everybody has a drivers license.”

While this is an old joke, it does convey a point, that in a good market the representation sees an influx of new brokers. The mountain west sees a great deal of this as urban markets run short on inventory and brokers strive to fill shortfalls with recreational properties. Many of these are truly good urban brokers, concentrating their efforts on sales of boxes within boxes, i.e., neighborhoods, block-to-block comparison sales or on more cookie cutter homes, and benefit by working within a system where county and MLS data is readily available to discern regional values.

The gap in knowledge is epic between the block-on-block sales compared to hay production ground, discerning senior water rights, identifying ditch riders, ditch shares, hunting season migrations, the value of conservation easements, grazing permits, AUM’s, down to what type of snow piles up year after year to what part of the access roads face drifting after a new snow.

This is where an RLI (Realtor Land Institute) broker proves their worth, demonstrating their depth of knowledge and experiences in the field. This knowledge and experience covers a variety of topics such as wildlife, water rights, hunting regulations, conservation easements, 1031 exchanges, top surveyors, wildfires, optimal title companies and regional recreation opportunities, to name a few.

Experience matters. Therefore, training, knowledge, history, understanding and competency all matter. Currently, Colorado RLI has some of the most impressive young brokers who are not only well educated but are steeped in western experience. They are the definition of what Colorado RLI has dedicated decades to procure. Colorado RLI strives to provide an environment in which brokers can continue to learn, train, grow and share experiences while transferring western properties through a professional footprint.

Colorado RLI prides itself in building a network of brokers who have trust in one another, knowledge of the network of specialties spread across over 130 Colorado RLI Brokers. That trust in each other and a depth of professional experience in land, its attributes and pitfalls, is unparalleled in the west. This is where the client of a RLI broker benefits, by building better brokers who understand and appreciate the goals of their client and the wide knowledge base required to attain those goals. The ability to not have “all” the answers but have the sources of that expertise at the broker’s fingertips, is just a phone call away from another RLI member. Colorado RLI members rely on each other, using relationships and understanding from a “rising tide raises all ships” philosophy.

Ray Livingston

STORY HUDSON LINDENBERGER PHOTOS TRAVIS GILLETT

There is something therapeutic about being in the outdoors. A rebirth of the soul seems to happen each time dirt is ground under your boot, branches brush off your jacket, or an unfettered wind lightly chills you. It appears that the moment you leave the veneer of society behind and venture into the wilderness, things change for the better. It is that feeling that has guided Ray Livingston throughout his entire life.

PROFILE

A

big game hunter, upland bird hunter and fisherman, he resembles a man from a different time; one of the woodsmen who roamed the Pacific Northwest’s mountains and valleys, his home, back in the eighteenth century. He is a person who can and has survived in the wilderness only with items that trappers carried in their packs centuries ago.

A prodigious pile of dreadlocks, a bushy beard, and a bright smile are the first thing one notices when you meet him, not his wide-brimmed hat, fur jacket, and large knife hanging at his side. His youthful energy and unbridled optimism seem out of place from a man approaching his fifth decade on this planet. “Cool stuff and interesting experiences seem to just come my way, I try to say yes to them whenever they present themselves. I like to share those experiences with people, to show them my struggles, in a positive light, and to show there is always hope,” he says. “Life is a story of overcoming odds, staying positive despite our struggles, and realizing the blessings in the outcomes, regardless of whatever the situation pops up.”

His life path more closely resembles the winding switchbacks he often hikes when in the backcountry, than the straight shot asphalt roads he played on as a child in Portland. He excelled in track and field at the University of Oregon, where he was a thirteen-time All Pac-10 pole vaulter, long jumper and hurdler and two times an All American in the decathlon. From there, he followed the trail most follow. He had a steady job, a small house, and a growing family, but he felt unfulfilled.

A decade ago, he decided to step off the beaten path, the one that was easy to follow, and start to forge his own way, to follow his own compass. He left a job that had him away from the things he loved, the wilderness and family. Things were good for a bit, but no journey is simple, and neither was his. When his marriage terminated, he decided to do something radical. He moved into the forest and lived in a small camper trailer for extended periods, all while still working his regular job.

PROFILE

His time outdoors helped him center and clear his mind.

He sought solace in the outdoors and looked for parallels in nature to help him deal with the obstacles in his life. “In our modern world, we spend our time and energy getting stressed out over what is essentially someone else’s problems,” he says. “Nature does not deal with that noise; it deals in the now, solely. If you want to see unbiassed examples of what it means to live a good life, look to nature.”

As he spent more and more time outdoors for extended periods, he developed survival skills. Instead of heading out with a loaded pack, he would build shelters from scratch, forage for meals, and cook over open fires. Soon he was blessed with another challenge. It came when the casting department from the History Channel reached out to him.

They wanted him to be a participant on season six of Alone, a show that drops individuals off in the wilderness with only a few items and tasks them with surviving on their own with no outside assistance.

He spent nineteen days isolated on the shores of Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories of Canada, less than 100 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle’s southern border. He relished the experience and departed because of a lack of food resources at his location. After considering the situation, he felt it was time, that he had “Nothing left accomplish.” He had done all he came to do and had seen what was meant for him to see by being there. He could survive in the harshest of conditions. He was at peace and with new perspective, he could now chase his dreams.

Following their dreams lead him and his new bride Angie, to move further north, where he spends his time roaming amongst the hills surrounding his new home in Kettle Falls, Washington; in the Northeast corner of the state. He lives as one with the land, raises pigs, and just enjoys the benefits of living in a wild landscape as much as possible. All while dispensing good cheer and his hard-earned wisdom to any that he meets. “We put barriers up and we tell ourselves there is no way we can live our dreams. However, the truth of the matter is, we can do anything we set our hearts to.

We only need to make a choice and put our thoughts and energy into realizing the lives we want for ourselves. If we do that, anything is possible.“ °

PROS

Some positive aspects of California living include the state’s agricultural and livestock industries and the diverse landscapes.

The ultimate advantage is the endless opportunities that come with living in a warmer climate.

While California boasts huge upsides, the Golden State does have a few less favorable aspects: regulations on water usage, the cost of living is higher than other states, and wildfires are always a threat in the state’s specific zones.

“Our weather/climate, which is nice for us, allows our farmers and ranchers to be the best in the world,” said Peter Dufau, President of Ventura County Lincoln Club.

Water Usage Restrictions

Top Agricultural State California is the nation’s top agricultural state—and has been for more than 50 years. According to the California Department of Food & Agriculture, the state is the largest producer and exporter of agricultural commodities in the U.S. and supplies the world with more than a dozen products including almonds, vegetables, garlic, grapes and pistachios.

Carla Young, a rancher whose family has been involved in agriculture in San Luis Obispo County since the early 1900s, said, “I have lived in California all my life. We produce foods that feed a big percentage of the world. Having land in California and being a part of raising crops and feeding the world is very important to me and a reason to own and buy land in this great state.”

By 2050, the United Nations projects that the world population will climb to nearly 10 billion people, an increase of two billion people in the next 30 years. Demand for food will continue to increase, and California has the agricultural production power necessary to meet that demand.

Because of its renowned agricultural productivity and efficiency, California is connected to many global markets, enabling the state to be one of the nation’s largest food exporters. Furthermore, with the rapid emergence of ag tech, California is uniquely positioned to steer this essential industry through innovations in production, harvest and processing technologies.

Diverse Landscapes California’s landscapes vary widely: desert, mountain, vineyard, city, seaside—no matter your preference, it can be found in the Golden State. Living in California affords the opportunity to have a “change of scenery” within a matter of hours.

Perfect Weather California’s weather is characterized by plenty of sunshine. The state’s rangelands are classified as Mediterranean, desert and intermountain, which creates multi-faceted opportunities for recreation, farming, ranching and more.

Most of the state has a Mediterranean climate featuring warm summers and mild winters and lending itself to long growing seasons. The weather, combined with California’s rich soil, affords the growth of hundreds of different agricultural commodities.

The warmer climate also means people can spend more time outdoors. California is home to a myriad of recreational activities such as hiking, fishing, hunting, kayaking and swimming. The opportunity to be outside year-round is a health boost for adults and children. Outdoor play is good for the body, mind and spirit.

CONS

LEGENDARY LIVING

Like most western states impacted by periodic drought and increasing demand for water, California has a framework governing water use. The goal is making limited supplies stretch as far as possible for both agricultural and urban consumers.

For someone looking to develop agricultural production on rural land, one potential stumbling block is the existence of historic water rights and usage. Of course, limited supplies means opportunities exist for those who can innovate, increase their efficiency and produce more with less.

High Cost of Living It’s no secret that California’s cost of living is one of the highest in the nation. From housing to utilities and groceries, the prices paid in California are just higher.

As one Californian commented, “California is awesome. Awesome is expensive.”

With that said, California’s property tax rate, at less than one percent, is one of the lowest in the U.S.

Wildfires While wildfires are an ongoing threat in California, even they offer an opportunity for savvy landowners. Livestock grazing has been proven to reduce risk of vegetation fires efficiently and effectively.

Well-managed grazing can also keep land open and productive, and provide a regular revenue stream for those wanting to provide grazing to other local ranchers.

Land ownership in California is ideal for those who wish to invest in current and future generations by owning land rich in resources and high growth potential.

“Even with the arguments as to why California is a challenging place to be a landowner,” said Pete Clark, a fifth generation California rancher and Real Estate Broker of Clark Company, “owning land in one of the nation’s most fertile and beautiful states offers endless rewards and limitless opportunities.” °

Timber Income O N YO U R P RO P E RT Y

STORY LANDLEADER

W

hen owning timber-producing land, one of the most important considerations you can make is how to maximize the income that it generates. There are a wide variety of factors that can influence the health, value, and sustainability of your forest. Here we will be outlining some key points to keep in mind when seeking to maximize the total value of the timber income on your property.

Tree Value and Timber Worth

A great place to start on maximizing our returns on our timber is to understand how to determine timber value. In a forest, a “stand” is a uniform grouping of trees planted in order to differentiate one harvest type from another. In each stand, individual tree species, height, stem quality, and diameter determine market value.

Using a measurement of tree diameter at four-and-a-half feet off the ground, an expression of diameter at breast height (DBH), is used to easily chart the value of trees. This is because as a tree grows, its greater diameter yields a larger number of board feet (the base lumber increment of feet of board yielded). A larger DBH also increases value by allowing different forest products to be created. Typically, hardwood tree products grow from uses in pulpwood, to sawtimber, and finally veneer, with each selling at a higher price and becoming increasingly more valuable than the last. As a result, DBH provides us an example of how returns on your timber can escalate over time and impact your decision as to when to harvest.

Estimating timber value can be further complex depending on the health of a given stand, proper thinning procedures, and overall consistency. Regular thinning can be a crucial part of maintaining your forest as you remove damage and overgrowth in order for your remaining trees to grow more efficiently. For the purposes of this article, we will focus on harvest cycles and growth patterns based on DBH. Ultimately, consulting with a professional forester is important to establish growth patterns depending on your region and type of tree. On the next page is a graph demonstrating the general expected value increase based on DBH growth.

Maximizing the Financial Return on Your Timber

When looking to optimize for financial return from your current forest, ignoring all else, it is important to treat your timber as an asset. When considering the value of an asset that has future expected returns, some calculations can be done in order to compare your potential earnings to other available current investments (stocks, bonds, etc.).

This is a common form of financial comparison known as “discounting” that allows you to create a rate of return to compare any appreciating asset with unrealized gains. If the rate of return you’re receiving from the future gains on your timber is ever lower than another established current investment, then you know it is time to harvest. This takes a decent amount of estimation on future timber markets, timber price, and timber sales, as the market ultimately determines the value of your product. However, when using historical data conservatively, estimating future market conditions can be possible.

Say you have discounted your entire forest and have found that over the next 10 years you will be essentially receiving a six percent return. If you know that the stock market returns about seven percent over the same period, harvesting now would be the better decision from a financial standpoint.

Maximizing the Sustainability of Your Forest

Beyond maximizing income in the short term, long-term sustainability can be crucial to the overall value of your income-producing forest. There is a common misconception that simply delaying your harvest can be the best way to keep it healthy and sustainable. In fact, harvesting is a critical portion of forest management. Not only can it maximize your income, but it can promote a healthier forest that produces higher quality timber, and even supports a healthy wildlife ecosystem.

І

LEGENDARY LIVING

When consulting with a forester, you can properly gage the lifecycle of your forests given stands, and as a result, know when your maximum age for harvesting is. This can be significant for long-term harvest cycles intending to produce veneer products as, beyond this max age, DBH growth can radically decline. Overall forest health can also decline as trees begin to reach the end of their biological life cycle.

In a broad sense, the key to maximizing sustainability is to have a complete understanding of your forest. Knowing exactly when your stands may reach appropriate maturity for your lumber product goals, you may harvest various portions of your forest to allow thinning and prevent overgrowth. Avoiding careless harvesting, you can maintain your forest’s health and ensure its viability for generations to come.

Other Factors to Consider

Beyond direct financial returns and sustainability of your forest, additional factors should be taken into consideration to maximize your timber income.

Careful analysis of factors such as tax implications, local market conditions, and operational costs will be necessary to make certain that you are well informed throughout your decision-making process. Capital gains can impact your profit, local market conditions can fluctuate, and operational costs can typically be minimized through smart planning.

STORY LORIE A. WOODWARD

elivering technical expertise and bold creativity in every phase of its all-encompassing design-build services, Western Heritage Consulting & Engineering stands alone in the field of western land development.

“Ten years ago when we founded Western Heritage, Ryan and I vowed to create a firm where our clients could dream big—and our team would have the skills, experience and grit to make those dreams a reality,” said Rikki Altenburg, who co-owns the multifaceted firm with her husband Ryan.

She continued, “We’re experienced, common sense land specialists who do what we say we’re going to do, which is. . . envision, design and build.”

To serve its clients’ needs, WH Companies has multiple divisions throughout the West. Western Heritage Consulting & Engineering handles the natural resource engineering, while WURX LLC is the expert for construction. While most of the company’s projects are located in the American West, Western Heritage has a global capacity.

“Over our first decade, we’ve learned to stick with what we do really well and that is full-service land development,” Rikki said. “We’re highly specialized—and we’re going to stay that way.”

The company provides a wide array of services including civil engineering, structural engineering and design-build construction.

The team tackles a host of natural resource projects ranging from irrigation and water development to corporate farm development and ranchland restoration and development. Most of the company’s clientele are private landowners looking to improve their land.

“We are a ‘one-stop shop’ for land projects,” Ryan, who earned an agricultural engineering degree from Texas A&M University, said.

“We assist in the ‘buy and sell’ of properties with our real estate division, walk and talk through the vision with the landowner and then make it all happen.”

The team uses a stress-free process to help the clients discern and verbalize the goals for their land. Every ranch and every landowner is different, but they are all driven by a vision for the future.

“What sets us apart from other engineering and construction companies is that we’re visionaries, too,” Ryan said. “We help

the owner create the vision—and our business model is literally designed to take the vision and execute it from start to finish.”

Once the plan is agreed upon and set in motion, the Western Heritage team identifies the synergies, overcomes any challenges including permitting and regulatory hurdles, and moves forward at a steady pace. The holistic approach allows progression of project phases to advance concurrently and reduces the overall project time requirement. To keep communication open and direct, clients have one point of contact.

“There aren’t a lot of companies like us, with extensive natural resource experience in both engineering and construction,” Rikki said. “Because of our experience, wide-ranging expertise and vast network of professionals, we can alleviate many issues during the design phase that often arise during construction.”

Western Heritage approaches each project with the goal of “creating our clients’ vision with as few headaches as possible for them,” Ryan said.

While much of Western Heritage’s success can be attributed to its technical prowess, the team understands they are ultimately in the people business.

“Our greatest measure of success is the number of clients who have become lifelong friends,” Rikki said. “It’s amazing how a project can bring people together.”

Grit and Passion

While the Western Heritage team thrives on the challenges inherent in each type of project, their shared passion for the outdoors and private land stewardship make farm and ranch development and improvement favorite undertakings.

“It’s extremely hard to understand land, farm and ranch improvements and transformation if you’ve never actually farmed or ranched,” Ryan said. “That life instills a special sort of grit.”

Unlike many engineering and construction firms that are ensconced in concrete, the Western Heritage team operates against the backdrop of nature. Team members are grounded in agriculture, wildlife management, hunting, fishing and other natural resourcebased pursuits. The team is trained to understand the different aspects of the business from the ground up.

“Our team brings a level of passion, grit and hands-on experience that I believe is unmatched in the industry.”

—RYAN ALTENBURG Western Heritage Consulting & Engineering

“We grew up in the agriculture industry which gave us a deep respect for hard work, good people and natural resources,” Rikki said. “Collectively we’ve worked hard to be educated stewards of the land.”

She continued, “It is important, especially in land development, to understand all of the facets of the natural resource puzzle. The best way to gain knowledge of land and its connected ecosystems—all of which are essential for successful projects—is by working in the field.”

And when it comes to natural resources, it’s impossible to know everything because Mother Nature is ever-changing. Each new piece of knowledge and every mastered experience is an invitation for more learning.

“Our team brings a level of passion, grit and hands-on experience that I believe is unmatched in the industry,” Ryan said.

Rikki concurred, “We have an amazing, intelligent and gritty team of people who are always learning. I can’t say enough good things. They are top-notch. We’re privileged to work beside them each day and proud to have them on our team.”

Land and Legacies

The Western Heritage team’s roots run deep in rural America; they understand that wellmanaged land is a lasting legacy.

“On almost all of our projects, a statement is made about future generations,” Rikki said.

“Our clients—and our staff—see beyond current ownership and conditions and work towards a productive, sustainable goal.”

In some cases, landowners are intent solely on conservation and preservation. The ecosystem-wide improvements implemented by Western Heritage will deliver ecological benefits for years to come. On other properties, landowners are seeking a backdrop for their passion. For some it’s hunting and fishing, for others it’s a family gathering spot where memories are made horseback.

istoric, expansive and abundant, Eagle Rock Ranch incorporates 10,466 acres of self-sustaining ranching and recreation. Stunning views of the Strawberry Mountains are the backdrop to wide open vistas and thick mountain timber.

Loosely bounded by Highway 26 and the John Day River to the south, the ranch climbs from 3,100 to 5,000 feet to offer varied landscape and unrestricted privacy.

From hidden highland plateaus, the ranch is still just a short distance from the amenities of the city of John Day, including Blue Mountain Hospital and the Grant County Regional Airport which offers a 5,220-foot asphalt runway.

GRANT COUNTY REGIONAL AIRPORT The Grant County Regional Airport (GCRA), also known as Ogilvie Field, is a county-owned, public-use airport located in John Day. It is two-and-a-half miles southwest of the central business district and four miles from Eagle Rock Ranch.

In 2019, the Federal Aviation Administration accepted and approved the Airport Master Plan for the Grant County Regional Airport. The Airport Master Plan consists of a narrative for airport improvements over the next twenty years.

The GCRA is also the helibase and training center for the United States Forest Service Malheur Forest’s rappeler firefighters. It is staffed year round, with peak wildfire suppression operations generally occurring from May through October.

As of winter 2021, there are several hangar sites available for lease, each with 200-foot parking apron frontage.

GRANTCOUNTYOREGON.NET/150/AIRPORT

The ranch’s John Day River offers abundant fishing opportunities and irrigation for lush fields. Year-round creeks and springs fill more than 80 ponds, providing watering holes for endless wildlife including trophy elk, deer, waterfowl and upland game birds.

The natural water is supplemented by some of the most senior water rights in Grant County, yielding ample hay for the cattle and harvest.

The entire operation is supported by two homes, six shops/barns, pivots, wheel lines, flood irrigation and extensive graveled roads throughout the property.

Improvements

The ranch home (North Residence) consists of 2,859 square feet and was built in 1997 on the periphery of a lush, irrigated hay field.

The wrap-around porch on the home’s east and south sides provides a magnificent view of the Strawberry Mountains, the property’s impressive rimrocks and John Day to the west.

This single-level home has an open kitchen, dining room and living room with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus a 418-square-foot, two-car attached garage.

The original ranch house (South Residence) was built in the 1930s. It consists of 1,937 square feet with a 662-square-foot finished basement. Quaint and wellappointed, the home has five bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, living room and office.

Behind the South Residence is a stone-walled, partly underground root cellar.

Water

Water abounds on Eagle Rock Ranch. Fed by numerous creeks and springs, more than 80 ponds provide an oasis for cattle and wildlife.

The main branch of the John Day River, the fourth longest freeflowing river in the contiguous United States, flows 1.8 miles through the property. Fishing is abundant year round, with steelhead and salmon in the spring, trout and smallmouth bass throughout the year.

Grub Creek runs 1.5 miles through the higher elevations of the ranch and flows year round.

Large springs supply cisterns for both houses as well as water for the barns, shops and cattle feed lots.

The property holds 293 acres of permitted water rights, some of the most senior water rights in Grant County.

Ranch & Infrastructure

On both sides of the John Day River and over the rimrock on the plateau are 225 acres of irrigated hay ground which produced over 850 tons of hay in 2020. Expansive acreage provides abundant rangeland for a 250± cow-calf operation. The property is cross fenced into 14 dry land pastures for beneficial rotation.

Below the South Residence is an 8,400-square-foot steel-framed hay barn with metal roof known as the Oliver Barn for the landmark wooden barn that once stood there. There are also horse pens and a century-old, in-use tack room.

To the north of the river is a 5,600-square-foot steel-framed hay barn with metal roof, a 2,946-square-foot machine shed and a 1,200-square-foot shop with concrete slab floor. In this same area is a new cow barn, a loafing shed and cow-working facilities.

LEGENDARY LIVING

Miles of well-maintained gravel roads make travel easy throughout the ranch. An ample supply of crushed rock (dredged from the river in the gold-mining days) is on site to be used for upkeep.

Recreation

Trophy Rocky Mountain elk, mule deer, whitetail deer and antelope are harvested from Eagle Rock Ranch. The ranch is located in the Northside Unit with six bull and six buck LOP tags.

Upland game and waterfowl birds, including chukar, turkey, grouse, quail, geese and ducks, call the ponds and forest home.

Game cameras placed in Fall of 2020 captured large herds of elk, deer and turkey.

Grant County is one of the top counties in the state to produce record book Rocky Mountain elk and mule deer.

There are 71 entries for Rocky Mountain elk over 305 inches Boone and Crockett and 221 entries for mule deer over 160 inches Boone and Crockett in the Oregon Record Book.

The largest elk from Grant County scored 401 1/8 inches, and the largest mule deer (non-typical) scored 281 3/8 inches.

Location

Grant County, Oregon, has been treasured in the hearts of pioneers for over 150 years. Today, Grant County is where the Old West meets modern-day recreation and adventure.

The variety of fish and wildlife species in the John Day Basin may be more diverse than any other river system in the state. Hiking opportunities abound both locally and a short drive away in the Malheur National Forest, including trails to the summit of 9,042foot Strawberry Mountain. °

ANTELOPE CREEK RANCH

EASTERN MONTANA GRAZING RANCH

Sumatra, MT | $14,000,000 Acreage (±): 41,993 Total Acres (29,480 Deeded - 8,503 State of Montana - 4,010 Private Lease)

The Antelope Creek Ranch (ACR) is an enormous 41,993± acre mostly deeded, eastern Montana grass ranch. It’s all blocked up and blessed with a sea of high-quality Montana grass and good water.

Owner rated at 800 AU with minimal winter feed and labor requirements, ACR is truly a low overhead ranch. Since the late 1800s, this area has produced great gains for cattle, which is why the trail herds came north and why it still remains one of the great places to raise cows. The ranch boasts abundant pronghorn antelope and mule deer populations, along with excellent upland bird habitat, all for sporting and recreational enjoyment. ACR is located in Hunt Area 701 for deer, antelope and elk with only one section of State land publicly accessable. The Headquarters has a lived-in main house—a 1,056-square-foot, five-bedroom, three-bath modular home. With extensive roads and livestock water throughout the ranch coupled with excellent land and range conditions, ACR is the perfect ranch for the production-minded stockman. Chase Brothers believes that the sale of Antelope Creek Ranch presents a rare opportunity to own a very large and contiguous grass ranch. The ranch is very competitively priced and is in excellent condition. If you are looking for a ranch that can run a lot of livestock, provide good hunting and is a secure investment, then ACR should be considered.

“The wild, independent and natural character of this land is what defines the American west.”

The ranch has two code-operated control gates. All showings must include listing broker.
