Known for its idyllic rural lifestyle, with friendly, wholesome neighbors and a sense of community, Powell Butte and Lazy JW Ranch will speak to the rancher or farmer in you.

Of the 323± deeded acres, 260± are lush irrigated hay and pasture lands, fenced and cross-fenced into rotational grazing pastures and hay grounds. The irrigation is a combination of 196± acres of Central Oregon Irrigation District (COID) water and 65± acres of groundwater from three wells, which have historically provided stable irrigation water delivery. This ranch is remarkably efficient, with nearly 170± acres of irrigation under a flood irrigation system, eliminating approximately two-thirds of regular irrigation pumping costs. Savings like these will add to your bottom line and productivity. The balance of the irrigation system is under wheel lines, hand lines, and one pivot.
