With roots in the Kinzua Lumber Company empire of the 20th century, this expansive timber and cattle operation encompasses 39,670+/- deeded acres in the John Day River basin of eastern Oregon, near the small ranching community of Fossil. The ranch is located 11 miles east of Fossil, the county seat. The historic business operation has been timber, cattle, and recreational income. With an emphasis on premium beef production, the ranch currently runs 825+/- breeding cows, plus bulls. Spring and summer livestock grazing is well-balanced with adequate grass, water, and facilities. The ranch includes an adjacent USFS grazing allotment. The topography and landscape is dominated by timber, with pine trees being the primary species. Abundant water features and improvements include reservoirs, year-round creeks and streams, stock-water ponds, springs, playas, and range developments. Multiple water sources include Thirty Mile Creek, Searcy Creek, Buckhorn Creek, Camp Creek, and Little Lake Creek, along with two significant ponds stocked with trout. Other various ponds, springs, and seasonal creeks can be found throughout the property. A recreation paradise, the ranch is home to Rocky Mountain elk, mule deer, turkey, and multiple other species. The ranch is home to an array of western wildlife, and the owner is eligible to receive up to eight (8) Landowner Preference Tags (LOP) to hunt elk and deer on the ranch. Situated on the southern end of Oregon's Blue Mountains, the Kinzua Ranch is a profitable legacy ranch that represents one of the largest deeded properties available in Oregon today. The ranch’s valleys, meadows, and ridgetop locations provide seclusion with no public access. A number of excellent sites for development of a hunting lodge, camp or other improvements exist. There is a paved state highway all the way to multiple ranch entrances. The perimeter of the ranch is well blocked and provides one contiguous parcel. Within five miles of the ranch is the historic Kinzua town site and golf course. The Kinzua town site, a ghost town, was formerly Wheeler County’s most populated community, as it provided homes and jobs to workers for the once thriving Kinzua Pine Mills Company, the hub for the area’s lumber business.
