Eastern Oregon Old Cushman Ranch

Property Overview
Tucked away in the high deserts of Eastern Oregon, this recreational property offers tons of potential and opportunity whether you envision it as a future homestead or if it is continued to be enjoyed as a private escape. Located roughly 20 minutes up the Hines Logging Road, the Old Cushman Ranch provides convenience and seclusion, with private access and three sides bordered by BLM lands. The property is fully fenced, with some cross fencing in place for running cattle. Natural and manmade water sources are found throughout several areas including seasonal drainages that capture spring runoff and feed them into manmade ponds. East Willow Creek further enhances the landscape, feeding into several additional manmade ponds providing great water sources for both livestock and wildlife.

Recreational Opportunities
Located within the Silvies Hunting Unit, this property is in an ideal location for a hunting opportunity. With direct access to hundreds of thousands of acres of nearby public land, it serves as an excellent base camp for outdoor adventures. The acreage currently qualifies for Landowner Preference (LOP) tags for both mule deer and elk, making it a great setup for big game hunters. In addition to deer and elk, the property’s diverse habitat and water features attract a variety of wildlife. Predators such as bobcat, coyote, bear, and cougar are known to pass through the area, particularly along the rimrock and near natural water sources—providing unique opportunities for those interested in predator hunting or simply enjoying the wildlife.

Recreation and Development Potential
For recreation enthusiasts, this property offers direct access to public BLM trails right out the backdoor—perfect for dirt bikes, side-by-sides, horseback riding, mountain biking, and more. Adventure opportunities extend even further with Hines Logging Road, a paved access route leading to Yellowjacket Lake, well known for fishing. Additional nearby water destinations, including Delintment Lake, Emigrant Creek, and others, provide even more options for fishing and relaxing. During the night, the property’s remote setting makes it an outstanding location for stargazing. With minimal light pollution, the night sky comes alive, offering clear views of the Milky Way and countless constellations. The Old Cushman Ranch is the kind of place that’s hard to find with its privacy, remoteness, and opportunities. With the large acreage, the land has development potential with power nearby, making potential for smaller parcels to be compiled. Whether you’re looking for a solid hunting base, ground to run cattle, or just a piece of country to call your own, this property is a must see. With water, feed, and wildlife already in place, it’s set up to be used and enjoyed the way you see fit.
