T24S R31E WM Tax Lots 503 1200 1300, Lawen, OR 97720

Located south of Burns, Oregon, this 760-acre farm is situated in a picturesque valley framed by the Steens Mountains. The landscape includes slight hillsides on the west and south portions, overlooking the valley floor. The property features 340 acres of irrigated land with water rights, watered by five wells, two of which provide hot water. The irrigated fields are planted with a mixture of oats, peas, turnips, clover, and annual grasses. The property borders thousands of acres of public BLM ground and the Malheur Wildlife Refuge. Irrigation is facilitated by three pivots (two Reinke and one Zimmatic), one of which has a LESA system. The pivots are interconnected with mainlines and tied into the five wells. The area benefits from a longer growing season for hay and alfalfa due to the warmer climate compared to other areas around Burns. Improvements include a bunkhouse used during calving season and a steel set of working corrals with alleys leading from different pasture fields. The owner uses a portable loading chute. A private cinder pit is available for road and pivot track maintenance. The farm includes 418 acres of dryland pasture and 2 acres dedicated to improvements. Water rights certificates cover 130 and 210 acres respectively, with priority dates from 2002 and 2008, both sourced from wells. The property benefits from farm deferral tax status.
