to late fall. The property contains 5,350 contiguous acres in a 9,560-acre
grazing area. Springs and streams provide water. Timber value provides a
great opportunity for additional income, with a forester’s 2014 visual estimate

WILLOW CREEK RANCH Bridgeport, OR / $8,510,000
Along the border of Baker and Malheur County, lies the 19,491±-acre
Willow Creek Ranch. Gentle rolling sagebrush hills lead into the mature
forests of California Mountain. The landscape is marked by expansive
grasslands, a mix of timber and mature deciduous trees and high-elevation
Forbes. A series of springs and creeks provide a perennial source of water for
livestock and wildlife. The higher ridges of the mountains show off the vista,
crowned by Malheur Reservoir located at the base of the tributary which
feeds it. Adjoining to public land, this ranch offers remarkable possibilities
for the big game hunter. Improvements include two residences, each with
ranch outbuildings and cattle working facilities along with irrigation rights.
BLM grazing allotments will transfer with the sale, and allow for grazing
on the ranch from spring through fall. This ranch is being offered as a
complete package or available separately as Willow Creek Ranch East and
Willow Creek Ranch West.
