What a gem! This 335 acre ranch is one-of-a-kind ranch with multiple uses allowed and tons of benefits. The recreational opportunities and river frontage is just the gravy on top! First, is the abundance of existing fruit trees and agricultural potential. Quite literally this is the perfect property for someone that want's to retire and grow grapes, have an orchard, run some cattle, and make some money on the side by renting out cabins/rv sites. There are existing apple, apricot, plum, walnut, and choke cherry trees on the property in addition to the wild elderberry, blackberry, and blueberry bushes. Second, you get 2 landowner preference hunting tags for any species being hunted that year. This may include elk, deer, chukar, black bear, etc... Third, the property is zoned to allow for a recreational resort (25 cabins, 25 RV sites, 10 campsites, a marina, etc.). This is very rare in Oregon! Fourth, the higher elevations of the property used to be a historical mine and had several million dollars worth of gold and copper taken out of the mountain. The mine ceased operations in 1987 when natural resource prices were depressed, but with the price of gold sky rocketing, it is not inconceivable that this could one day reopen and produce real economic value. Fifth, it has tons of natural water and you're on a lake with a boat dock! It has over 1/2 mile of Hells Canyon Reservoir frontage (aka the Snake River). It also has 3-4 naturally occurring springs with 1 spring that has been improved for use as a good source of fresh water. Several water rights also remain active on the property. Sixth, 90% of the property borders federal land ownership (BLM). So you have a huge backyard to play in right next door to your own ranch.Seventh, access is year around via a maintained 2WD gravel road just 4 miles from a paved Oregon State Highway 86. Eighth, conventional power is to the existing ranch home on the property and internet access is available. Well & septic are also onsite due to the historical use and service to the ranch house. This property is located approximately 21 miles east of Halfway, OR on the Idaho/Oregon state line. It is in the scenic Hells Canyon National Recreation Area adjacent to the Snake River/Hells Canyon Reservoir. The fishing, hunting, water, and fruit properties of this property make it ideal for a survival and/or recreational retreat. Lightly timbered with mountainous and flat terrain. Spectacular views abound from the upper elevations and recreational water opportunities are unlimited. Property is composed of 7 contiguous parcels.
