It is an outdoorsman’s paradise with more area to fish and hunt and fewer people to contend with.

Wildlife common in this area would include duck, geese, turkey, deer, elk, quail, cougar, coyote, and more. It is rich and lush, and nearby forests and mountains sustain large herds.

F ishing In addition to year-round fishing for trout and steelhead, Central Oregon is surrounded by nationally renowned rivers, streams, and lakes that provide anglers with a mind-boggling abundance and variety of world-class fishing opportunities.

WATER SOURCES | WATER RIGHTS Under Oregon law, all water is publicly owned. With some exceptions, cities, farmers, factory owners, and other users must obtain a permit or water right from the Water Resources Department to use water from any source, whether it is underground or from lakes or streams. Landowners with water flowing past, thru, or under their property do not automatically have the right to use that water without a permit from the Department. The water of Oregon is administered by the State of Oregon under a “prior-appropriation” doctrine; first in time, first in right.

MINERAL RIGHTS All mineral rights appurtenant to the property and owned by the Seller will convey to the Buyer at closing. Mineral rights are not guaranteed. It is suggested that the Buyer conduct a mineral search with a title company.

Through promoting the use of thoughtful land stewardship, Fay Ranches has guided owners toward a legacy of conserving wide-open spaces, enhancing and creating fisheries and wildlife habitat and implementing sustainable agricultural operations. Fay Ranches is proud to say that since our company began in 1992, the landscape on which we work has been significantly enhanced by the conservation ethic and land use practices of our clients. www.fayranches.com | (800) 238.8616 | info@fayranches.com
