PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Tucked away in the southern Willamette Valley, this 223 +/- acre working ranch is a rare western Oregon find in both size and beauty. A private setting, yet less than five minutes to all the amenities the city of Cottage Grove has to offer. The ranch has historically been operated as a cow/calf (The seller has run ~50 pairs on average year-round) and timber growing operation. Mosby Creek, a year-round creek which is a large tributary to the Coast Fork of the Willamette River, runs over 2,100ft of the western property line. Mosby Creek is home to a healthy population of Rainbow Trout, Cutthroat Trout and some Redside Shiners; with reports of Chinook Salmon returning to the water shed. Blacktail Deer and Roosevelt Elk also frequently visit the ranch. The ranch is broken into two tax lots. Each tax lot has potential for one legal home site. Tax lot 100 (219+/- acres), zoned EFU, qualifies for a replacement dwelling. While tax lot 1600 (4.7+/- acres) is zoned Rural Residential 5acre minimum. The soil is highly productive for hay, pasture and timber growth. Both cattle grazing and proportional timber harvests bring immediate cash flows to the ranch if desired. The forested portions of the ranch are managed under a Forest Care Covenant management plan. (Please inquire for the management plan.) Seller recently harvested 6 acres and replanted 2.5 acres last planting season with the remaining 3.5 acres to be replanted during the 2025 planting season. While the ranch does not have deeded irrigation rights; the livestock pond was permitted with a 1977 Water Certificate priority date. Two domestic wells also exist to feed the main home site and barnyard. Don't miss your opportunity to own this western Oregon dream ranch!
