River View at Raines Canyon

Breathtaking views of the North Fork John Day River are yours from any one of the numerous building sites located on this rare one of a kind find!  Sage and juniper hillsides, rock outcroppings along with scenic mountain vistas provide a panoramic backdrop overlooking this undeveloped farmground.

Located in the Monument valley in Kimberly, Oregon, this unique holding has excellent soils for a multitude of future growing crops and has been planted in the past for hay production and pasture grass for cattle.  This farming community offers a great growing season in a mild climate at 2200′ elevation, within close distance to the reknowned Thomas Orchards, where fruit stands of peaches, pears, nectarines, cherries, apricots, apples and more are available as fresh picked or in a box all summer long.  Lone Pine and Big Bend parks are just a five minute drive down river for public access for bass and steelhead fishing.

The pump station that feeds the irrigated 95 acres of 1967 water rights to this holding is on the North Fork of the John Day river.  This prolific waterway flows to the main stem of the John Day, which offers some of the best river rafting and water recreation in the state.  All of this is in a secluded and quiet, rural setting with wildlife viewing at its best.

Listen to the sounds and watch the resident herds of antelope, elk, deer and other wildlife along with a myriad of waterfowl, including geese, duck, flocks of upland birds such as chuckar, turkey, dove and quail…all who enjoy this quiet solitude in nature’s paradise as much as we do.

This sanctuary borders private land with one easement on the existing road that leads to an adjoining landowner’s property at the dead end road of Raines Canyon.  This drainage is located to the north of the property line and is known for its prolific springs and overflow which cascade onto the subject property, into a free flowing seasonal creek.

This farm boasts 95 acres of 1967 water rights with about 80 acres cultivated, 15 acres of irrigated fields, and the balance in dry land pasture. Due to the south sloping ground, the frost free days will be higher than those acreages on flat ground. The sellers investment in the 2025 fall growing crop will be planted to Triticale.
