A 532 +/- acre combination farm and ranch, this property has a lot to offer to a diversified operation. The owners meticulous work done over the years through the addition of terraces, improvement of once waste areas, and careful range management have transformed this property into the productive land that it is today.
Land
This 263 acres of dryland farm ground consists of mainly Harney Silt Loam soils at 0-3% and Geary Silt Loam at 3-7% slope. No till farming and the addition of terraces and waterways have improved soil conditions and worked to control erosion to improve the overall productivity of this farm.

The 258 acres of pasture were not grazed in 2025 while parts of it were hayed to promote regrowth for the next grazing season. As evident, the owner has managed this pasture to maximize grazing capacity without undue stress. Dead fall and other debris have been piled up, while thistles and invasive trees have been cut to promote the growth of desirable grasses. The 4 ponds and wet-weather Long Branch Creek have been the water sources for the owner rated 7 acres per cow-calf pair, even through recent dry years.
There is gravel access to the NE corner of the property with dirt roads surrounding the rest of it. The addition of several gates allows an individual to travel through the entire pasture portion of the property from their initial access point if desired.
Recreation
Traversing the property from North to South, the wet-weather Long Branch Creek holds many mature trees that provide cover for the deer to use as a bedding area and a travel route. During dry spells, you will find the occasional spring pocket that may offer water for wildlife and livestock. The owner has taken great care not to over graze the pasture, and in doing so this has left great native grass habitat that holds coveys of quail and the occasional pheasant.
