Eastern Oregon Eggleston Homestead

Exceptional Eastern Oregon Homestead

Nestled north of Burns, Oregon, the Eggleston Homestead offers an impressive 161.67-acre farmstead that blends the tranquility of country living with practical agricultural functionality. Positioned on the corner of Foley Drive and Stancliff Road, this property enjoys the rare privilege of having the Silvies River meandering along its eastern boundary, providing essential water rights that nourish 160 irrigated acres. The southern edge of the land lies within city limits, offering a unique blend of rural charm and convenient access. This homestead is a vivid testament to Eastern Oregon’s fertile landscape, complete with multiple outbuildings, cross fencing, and a host of improvements designed to support a thriving hobby farm or ranch.

Charming Country Home

The original homestead residence spans 1,188 square feet, featuring two comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom. The home’s inviting interior boasts wood flooring through the family and dining areas, complemented by a ceiling fan that adds to the welcoming atmosphere. The galley-style kitchen is thoughtfully arranged to maximize space, situated near the bathroom, laundry, and utility rooms. Upstairs, additional storage space offers practicality without sacrificing the home’s cozy feel. Outside, mature trees and graceful willows create a private oasis surrounding the home, while a detached carport and adjoining outbuilding provide ample storage close at hand. The property’s working corrals, livestock sheds, and barn are conveniently located nearby, including a covered corral area complete with an alley and squeeze chute, making this farm fully operational and ready for immediate use.

Robust Agricultural Infrastructure

The Eggleston Homestead is equipped with extensive water rights from the Silvies River, dating back to 1886, delivering flood irrigation through multiple diversions and flood ditches. Approximately 75 acres are perimeter fenced and irrigated using three wheel-line sections, with another 55 acres flood irrigated through a network of diversions. An additional 8-acre allotment benefits from supplemental irrigation via flood risers. The land is divided into three tax lots, presenting potential for future development while maintaining a turnkey agricultural operation. Improvements include several large general purpose sheds and livestock shelters, all in excellent condition, reflecting the pride of ownership and care invested in this exceptional property.
