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.
