The Black Bull Spring Ranch is a 158.42 acre homestead in Malheur County, Oregon. This historic 1895 homestead, with year-round county road access, features a private backcountry airstrip, dependable utilities, and mineral and water rights. The ranch is bordered on three sides by 230,000 acres of State of Oregon managed land. The property includes a three-bedroom, 1,080 square foot manufactured home placed on a 48-inch foundation. Water is supplied from Black Bull Spring via a 2,500-gallon storage tank and pressure pump. The home has an electric furnace and a Vermont casting soapstone wood stove for heat, as well as a refrigerator, stainless steel Bosch dishwasher, electric cooktop and range, and built-in microwave. Other improvements include a two-car garage and fire suppression shed. The 36'x64' barn has metal sheeting walls and roof, a crushed rock floor, two 12x12 horse stalls with sliding doors, and three bays. One bay includes a stall and storage area accessed by a 10' roll-up door and one-man door; another is a 12x64 hay storage/equipment area with drive-through access via two 12' roll-up doors; and the third is a 12x64 equipment area with a 10' roll-up door and one-man door. The barn has electrical power and an RV electrical plug. Water from the Black Bull Spring is gravity-fed to a 2,500-gallon buried poly collection tank, and then an electric pump moves the water for stock watering, domestic use, and garden plot irrigation. A domestic well (150 ft) with an electric pump provides a pressurized water line to the barn and fire shed, with frost-free faucets and electrical power for livestock water. The Black Bull Spring Ranch Airstrip, designated OR16, is a backcountry turf runway 14/32 at 43-05-48.00N 118-09-00.00, and 4114 feet in elevation. The airstrip is 1400 feet long and 40 feet wide along the west side of the driveway. The center section of the barn has been used as a hangar. Airstrip designation improves emergency response time for medical helicopters.
