This reservoir is used to irrigate a portion of the ranch. Except for the reservoir,
this property is all contiguous. The land is mostly level meadows, with some
small hills and some bigger ridges. The land joins the Wallowa-Whitman National
Forest to the north. There are approximately 40 acres that has some
timber on it. The meadow land is high quality soil, and the meadows produced
322 tons of hay in 2017, plus pasturing a large portion of the irrigated ground.
The meadows seem to consistently produce an average of 1.5 tons per acre.
The owners have not been fertilizing the meadows. The Middle Fork of Burnt
River runs through the northern portion of this ranch, providing irrigation
water and stock water. The rest of the irrigation comes from the South Fork of
Burnt River, but is stored in Whited Reservoir and then delivered to the ranch.

full baths, with an office, family room addition, and mudroom. Heating has
three sources: forced air furnace, wood stove, and oil heater. In addition to the

barn is 1280 sq. ft., and there is a pump house and gas shed. There is a set of
working corrals with scales. Drinking water is furnished by a spring and there
is also a domestic well. The other homesite area originally had a home on it.
There is still a shop, which is 1125 sq. ft., and has a dirt floor, and some corrals,
with an older septic system.
