This Eastern Oregon Ranch is found in the picturesque canyons of Kimberly Oregon adjacent to the John Day River. The Big Basin Ranch is located approximately 7 air miles south of Kimberly Oregon on Johnny Creek. The property features diverse topography, with elevations rising more than 1,200 feet from sagebrush-covered plateaus to sloping pastures & timbered draws. Johnny Creek flows year-round through the landscape for over four miles, Dick Creek flows through the property nearly 2 miles, both provide valuable water sources. This combination of terrain and water creates an ideal habitat for mule deer, antelope, and Rocky Mountain elk. The ranch spans approximately 6,215+/- acres, including 3,915+/- deeded acres and an additional 2,300+/- acres of private BLM land. The ranch features a range of improvements that are incorporated to fit the ranching lifestyle of Eastern Oregon. These include a manager's house, working corrals, hay cover, shop, a variety of smaller storage areas that are all complete with a stunning 3,003 sq. ft. custom built home that provides breathtaking views for miles. The main home features a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom setup including a two car garage, infinity pool, hot tub, pool house & more. Irrigation on the property provides 65.5+/- acres of water rights all sourced from Johnny Creek & an irrigation well. The irrigation is fed from a small reservoir that has an underground mainline thereafter being disbursed in a series of wheel lines. Crops are all perimeter fenced planted primarily in alfalfa grass mix with some additional leased ground to Oregon State University for $3,500/month. Out of that irrigated ground, Oregon State University is leasing approximately 14+/- acres for growing native grass seed. Their payments are $3,500 a month for the time of the lease. The owners have taken exceptional care of the land, practicing responsible stewardship through selective juniper thinning along drainages, rotational cattle grazing, spring developments, and efficient irrigation, all of which have enhanced the habitat for local wildlife. The Big Basin Ranch is a must-see that offers a range of spectacular scenery, wildlife, & a beautiful home that fits individuals looking for recreational getaways, ranch life, or just a breath of fresh air. MAIN HOUSE: Nestled atop a serene hillside in Eastern Oregon, this extraordinary custom-built home is a sanctuary for anybody seeking a retreat that marries modern luxury with breathtaking natural beauty. Designed by renowned architect Don Merkt in collaboration with the visionary founders of Rejuvenation-a celebrated design brand now owned by Williams-Sonoma-this four-bedroom, four-bathroom masterpiece offers a lifestyle of sophistication, style, and serenity. The home offers panoramic views of lush irrigated fields, dramatic sunsets, and the iconic Cathedral Rock. The west-facing infinity-edge pool, a 30,000-gallon marvel, and a custom Gunite hot tub create the perfect setting for evening relaxation, where you can unwind with your favorite drink while watching the local wildlife. Thoughtfully landscaped grounds and extensive stonework complement the home's natural surroundings, blending modern elegance with rugged beauty. Built to last centuries, the house & pool house both features a copper roof, 13" thick walls, board-form concrete & authentic stucco siding, and concrete patios adorned with local stone. Inside, the attention to detail continues with a barrel ceiling crafted from locally sourced tamarack, cherry wood cabinetry, and Dynamic wood windows with cherry interiors. Concrete floors with radiant in-floor heating ensure comfort year-round, while 440 yards of concrete were utilized to create a structure that exudes durability and luxury.
