The Holmstrom Ranch is an incredible opportunity to own a piece of the John Day Valley's history. The ranch dates back to 1863 and holds some of the oldest water rights on the John Day river. The ranch has irrigated hay fields, rangeland with varied topography and 1.4 miles of John Day River frontage. Ranch qualifies for 4 LOP tags for deer and 4 LOP tags for elk. The ranch has trophy class mule deer and lots of them. Additionally the ranch has big herds of elk that pass through (in excess of 400 head at times!) and also big herds of pronghorn antelope. The Holmstrom Ranch also has an incredible wetland component that makes the waterfowl hunting unlike anything else in the John Day valley. In addition to the waterfowl, there are turkeys, chukar, and quail throughout the property. The ranch has a vintage 5 bedroom, 3 bath home along with shops and barns. There is an active quarry and mining operating permit through the Oregon Dept. of geology and mining industries (DOGAMI).
