Overview

Description

The Opal Mountain Ranch, located twenty-five miles north east of Prineville, Oregon, is a legacy recreational timber ranch consisting of approximately 16,981+/- deeded acres in a large private block with exceptional wildlife, timber and water re-sources. There are 17+ miles of streams and creeks that create the headwaters of Trout Creek/Deschutes River and flow into the John Day River. With Cascade Mountains views from Mt Bachelor to Mt Rainier as its backdrop, the topography ranges from timber covered slopes, grassy hillsides, steep canyons and meadows. The ranch has an elevation range of 5,700 feet down to 3,600 feet with over four miles bordering the Ochoco National Forest allowing for diverse wildlife habit and abundant recreation. The property is expected to generate attractive annual positive cash flow from outfitting, conservation and carbon projects. Sustainable timber management and recreation create significant long term appreciation opportunities.
