About this property
Productive Eastern Oregon Farm: Sage Hen Farms is a remarkable agricultural property sprawling across 281.29 acres just outside the tranquil communities of Burns and Hines, Oregon. Nestled off Highway 20, this farm offers a private and serene setting enriched by 169 acres of valuable water rights. The land is primed for hay production, livestock grazing, or a blend of both, supported by a well-designed infrastructure that includes a homesite, a spacious shop, and corrals. A single well irrigates a 125-acre pivot, complemented by additional acreage historically watered with hand lines and a big gun. The pivot area, enclosed by perimeter fencing, features a modern Zimmatic irrigation system and a turbine pump, currently nurturing lush alfalfa fields that provide a strong foundation for hay operations. Portions of the property serve as irrigated pasture, with potential for conversion to increased hay production, offering flexibility for diverse farming pursuits. Homestead and Improvements: The centerpiece residence is a 1982 manufactured home encompassing 1,215 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, comfortably situated among mature trees to create a peaceful homestead atmosphere. Nearby stands a 1,800 square foot shop built in 2008, wrapped on three sides by a lean-to for ample covered storage, and equipped with two garage doors for convenient access. This shop also includes a studio-style living quarters. Additional structures enhance the functionality of the farm: a 1,189 square foot GP building with a concrete pad, a 570 square foot machine shed, and comprehensive cattle working facilities including corrals, a covered livestock shed, chute, crowding alley, and sorting pens. Both the home and the shop's living quarters are currently rented, generating consistent rental income. The entire setup is enclosed by a perimeter fence, simplifying management and security. Water Rights and Agricultural Potential: The property benefits from an irrigation well supporting the pivot and hand line systems, backed by established water rights with certificates dating back to 1977 and 2009. Sage Hen Creek meanders through the pivot ground, providing a natural water source that attracts wildlife year-round. Located within Hunting Unit 71, the farm may qualify for valuable landowner preference tags for mule deer and elk, adding a recreational dimension to this working ranch. With 130.29 acres of range and over 150 acres under irrigation, this property balances productive agricultural land with natural habitat. It represents a rare opportunity to own a well-located, irrigated ranch with extensive improvements and the flexibility to support a variety of farming or ranching ventures in Eastern Oregon.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
