This buildable and beautifully timbered 527-acre (approx.) hunting property qualifies for a Forest Dwelling permit, and has 1.3 miles of pretty, year-round Bear Creek running through it. It is easily accessed by a short 0.8 mile flat and wide public-use Forest Service road that connects to paved County Road 18 which the County keeps plowed all winter. Just driving the four miles up Road 18 from State Highway 26 is pleasant, with large trees and pretty Bear Creek. Conveniently located only eight minutes from the quaint little tow...
This buildable and beautifully timbered 527-acre (approx.) hunting property qualifies for a Forest Dwelling permit, and has 1.3 miles of pretty, year-round Bear Creek running through it. It is easily accessed by a short 0.8 mile flat and wide public-use Forest Service road that connects to paved County Road 18 which the County keeps plowed all winter. Just driving the four miles up Road 18 from State Highway 26 is pleasant, with large trees and pretty Bear Creek. Conveniently located only eight minutes from the quaint little town of Prairie City in Grant County, the property is also only thirteen minutes from the big town of John Day with its additional restaurants and shopping. It is bordered by Forest Service land on most of its west and north sides.
Great hunting! So good that an outfitter has paid thousands of dollars to be allowed to commercially guide elk, deer and turkey hunts in 2018, 2019 and again in 2020 on this and other adjacent land owned by the seller, but especially this parcel. Lots of elk! You will be eligible for two Landowner Preference tags for both deer and elk.
Located on the north side of the famous John Day Valley, most of the northwestern half of this property has nice southerly views across the Valley at the snow-capped Strawberry Mountains. The interior of the property has 4.5 miles of good roads, about half of which were just built in July, 2020, that create a big loop in the upper section that is connected to the road along Bear Creek below (see attached map, below). Several flat spots could be developed into a home site or just a large pad for your hunting trailer or RV. Enjoy the peace and quiet of your own pine forest hunting heaven, yet be close to civilization any time you want to go mingle with the great people of Grant County!
Note 1: This property is in the process of being partitioned into its own legal parcel; closing will be subject to the completion of that process.
Note 2: Sellers photos of this pretty property are woefully inadequate to show its beauty, especially the sweet creek area, so more and better pics will be added soon.
