Eastern Oregon Willow Bend on the Silvies River

Willow Bend on the Silvies

Resting along the scenic banks of the Silvies River just
outside of Burns, this beautifully maintained 35± acre property offers a rare
combination of irrigated meadow ground, privacy, recreation, and convenience.
With over a mile of river frontage winding through the property, the setting
feels remarkably secluded while still being only minutes from shopping, medical
services, schools, and the amenities of town. Lush irrigated pasture and native
meadow ground create a peaceful landscape that attracts an abundance of
wildlife, including deer, pheasants, hawks, and countless other birds native to
Eastern Oregon’s high desert environment. Fishing opportunities along the
Silvies River further add to the property’s unique recreational appeal.

The pride of ownership throughout the property is
immediately apparent. The home, grounds, outbuildings, fencing, corrals, and
landscaping have all been thoughtfully maintained and organized with
exceptional attention to detail. Large legacy trees, neatly graveled driveways,
manicured yard spaces, custom storage areas, and carefully planned
infrastructure give the property a clean, functional, and welcoming feel rarely
found in rural settings. The combination of practical improvements and tasteful
updates creates a property that is equally suited for comfortable full-time
living, hobby farming, livestock use or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of
country life.

The charming single-level home blends warmth and
functionality with updated finishes, custom woodwork, and inviting
indoor-outdoor living spaces overlooking the surrounding landscape.
Complementing the residence are a well-equipped shop, insulated storage
buildings, barn, covered parking areas, livestock facilities, and productive
irrigated pastures capable of producing wild meadow hay annually. Whether
relaxing on the deck watching wildlife move through the river bottom, casting a
line into the Silvies River, or enjoying the peaceful setting beneath the
mature shade trees, this property captures the very best of Eastern Oregon
living in a setting that has clearly been cared for and cherished for many
years.

Charming and Functional Home

This beautifully maintained country home offers a warm and
inviting blend of comfort, functionality, and rural character. The thoughtfully
updated single-level residence features wood flooring, vaulted ceilings, custom
cabinetry and storage, tile countertops, recessed lighting, and large
wood-frame storm windows that fill the home with natural light and views of the
surrounding landscape. The cozy living area centers around a custom rock hearth
and woodstove, while the kitchen provides quality appliances, pantry storage,
and direct access to the outdoor living spaces. 
Both bedrooms feature attached bathrooms, updated finishes, and built-in
storage, reflecting the pride of ownership found throughout the property. Covered
porches, mature shade trees, landscaped yard areas, and outdoor deck space
create a peaceful setting for relaxing or entertaining. Extensive
infrastructure improvements, including upgraded well and filtration systems,
underground sprinklers, and updated septic, further enhance the property’s comfort,
efficiency, and long-term functionality.

Productive Pastures and Water Rights

The property’s irrigated meadow ground and carefully
maintained pasture areas create an ideal setup for both livestock use and
enjoyment of the surrounding landscape. Productive native meadow grasses
provide seasonal grazing and hay production opportunities, while the open
layout of the ground gives the property a clean, park-like appearance.
Extensive perimeter fencing and cross fencing have been thoughtfully installed
and maintained, providing excellent livestock control and long-term durability.
Well-built gates, graveled access points, and the organized layout of the
pastures make movement of equipment, trailers, and livestock both practical and
efficient throughout the property. 
Supporting infrastructure has been carefully planned to create a highly
functional small ranch or hobby livestock operation. Frost-free water hydrants,
well-designed corrals, sorting areas, loading access, and multiple fenced
pasture areas allow for easy day-to-day livestock management while maintaining
the neat and orderly appearance of the property. The combination of irrigated
ground, strong fencing, reliable water systems, and quality improvements
reflects years of thoughtful stewardship and pride of ownership.
