Eastern Oregon Crane Ranchette

Spacious High Desert Retreat

Set on 40 acres in the serene expanse of Burns, Oregon, this exceptional country home offers a rare blend of comfort, functionality, and natural beauty. Whether you envision a working mini-ranch, a self-sustaining lifestyle, or a recreational base, this property delivers all that and more amidst the stunning high desert landscape. The heart of the estate is a thoughtfully updated 2,036-square-foot residence featuring three generously sized bedrooms, designed to provide a welcoming and airy atmosphere for family and guests alike.

Practical Living with Passive Income 

Inside, vaulted ceilings and fresh flooring enhance the spaciousness, while a cozy woodstove and a new heat pump ensure warmth and comfort throughout the seasons. The home is equipped with a state-of-the-art, whole-home water filtration system, providing high-quality water throughout the residence. The kitchen is a chef’s delight, equipped with newer appliances, a convenient pantry, and a pass-through window that opens into the living room, fostering an open and connected living space. The primary suite is a tranquil sanctuary offering stunning mountain views, a dual-access walk-in closet, and a private bathroom featuring a unique dome skylight. A spacious mudroom at the back door provides dual access to the laundry room or living area, adding practical convenience to everyday life.

Designed for Ranching and Recreation

Beyond the home, the property is thoughtfully arranged to support diverse pursuits. A heated poultry coop with an automated door and spacious runs, alongside an adjacent utility shed, reflects attention to sustainable living. The fenced garden boasts raised beds and a sophisticated greenhouse to extend the growing season. Dry-land pastures with transition gates offer excellent grazing for cattle, complemented by a steel hay barn with drive-through access and a machine shed for equipment storage. A massive shop is outfitted with a car hoist, air compressor, and RV hookup, perfect for mechanics or hobbyists. Attached to the main residence is a 784-square-foot guest home, ideal for ranch hands, visitors, or rental opportunities.

Off-Grid Preparedness and Outdoor Access

Preparedness and convenience are key here, with a hardwired 9kW generator, extensive fuel storage, a traditional root cellar, and a 70-square-foot cold room wired for a CoolBot, purpose-built for hanging big game. This property’s location is equally remarkable, just minutes from Crystal Crane Hot Springs and within an hour of prime hunting grounds, fishing spots, and the breathtaking Steens Mountains. It perfectly balances peaceful country living with endless outdoor adventures, making it an exceptional opportunity for those seeking both comfort and connection to nature.
