Description

This farm in Eastern Oregon offers a functional irrigation system with both surface and groundwater rights. Located just off the paved Old Experiment Road, the Airport Pivots is less than 5 minutes from the community of Burns, Oregon, and access to essential commodities.

Approximately 300 acres are irrigated by pivots, supported by four irrigation wells. The remaining acreage utilizes wheel lines and flood irrigation via established ditch systems. Water rights include approximately 1,134± acres of primary rights, dating from 1928 to 1938, for both surface and groundwater. An additional 895± acres of supplemental groundwater rights date from 1963 to 2008. Improvements are conveniently situated along Old Experiment Road, with residences on both ends of the property. On the northwest corner, a 2003 manufactured home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an attached double-car garage. On the southeast side, a 1987 manufactured home offers another 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom living space, surrounded by key agricultural infrastructure, including a 3,444 sq. ft. shop, grain bin, working corrals, and additional storage buildings. Beyond its agricultural value, the property also presents excellent recreational opportunities, including potential for Landowner Preference (LOP) tags and mule deer hunting. This Eastern Oregon farm is an exceptional opportunity for those seeking productive summer pasture.
