Sheley Green Acres is an Eastern Oregon farm situated 15 minutes East of Burns Oregon off highway 20. The farm encompasses a total of 1,220+/- deeded acres featuring 725.3+/- acres of water right that is primarily irrigated by 4 pivots planted in alfalfa with the remaining balance irrigated by wheel lines & flood. The improvements on the property include two manufactured homes, hay storage, corrals, & a machine shed. The acreage includes extensive fence management with cross fencing and perimeter fencing, allowing the acreage to be transitioned into more of a cow outfit with a range of irrigated pasture. While the farm ground has been well taken care of and is suited for productive hay growth with the ability to run some cows as it currently is being used. With most of the water rights dating back to the 70's through early 90's, the irrigation is sourced from 7 irrigation wells with storage rights to a 9.4 acre reservoir. The majority of the irrigation wells & pivots are interconnected with one solo pivot being located 11.5 miles east of the main deeded portion. While the 474 acres of pivots are planted in alfalfa, the remaining portions are flood irrigated planted in wild hay meadow & wheel lines planted in rye. The two homes are both 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom setups with the main home being a 1999 manufactured triple wide & the other being a 1998 manufactured double wide. Next to the 1998 home is a set of working corrals & a 960sqft machine shed that is enclosed on 3 sides. The 6,000 Sq. Ft. hay cover is located at the farm entrance allowing for easy access to transport. The land hosts exceptional amounts of wildlife throughout the year. Water from the irrigation & the reservoir allow for habitats for all sorts of bird and animal species including waterfowl, ducks, antelope, & mule deer. The acreage qualifies for LOP tags for both elk & deer. The remaining ground is utilized for range for the 75 head of cattle throughout the year. The ground has been well cared for by the current owners management with proper crop rotation & ideal irrigation equipment in place, making it a turnkey operation for someone to continue farm production or transition the farm into a cattle outfit. IRRIGATION: The 725 acres of water rights are split up between 474 acres irrigated under pivot, 125 acres irrigated by wheel lines, & the remaining amount being irrigated by flood & the 9 acre pond. All irrigation by pivot is planted in alfalfa with two pivots equipped with LESA systems to provide more efficient water application. The flood is irrigated by seasonal runoff & an irrigation well complemented with above ground lines to distribute the water in several different locations. The flood is planted in wild hay meadow providing feed for the cattle in the later portion of the irrigation year. The 125 acres of wheel line irrigation have been planted in rye in past years & used for pasture in the late summer.
