The property is 11 miles east of Prineville, OR on Highway 26. Prineville, which also has a municipal airport (PRZ), is located 30 minutes from Bend and 20 minutes from Redmond.ACREAGEThe property consists of approximately 44,329 acres of timbered high country in one contiguous block. The ranch is unique in many ways; 1) there is no public access, 2) a high percentage of forested lands, 3) the character and lay of the land is very appealing with smooth, gently rolling terrain with deep soils allowing the ranch to be very usable and productive, and 4) very secure, easily controlled and inexpensive to operate. The ranch borders the Ochoco National Forest and Lookout Mountain Roadless Management Area along its east border with a number of private ranches surrounding the other sides.The ranch is accessed by three private easements on the primary roads. These primary roads are raised bladed gravel roads adjoining the highway and cut through the ranch north/south and east/west. Secondary and limited use roads cut through in various directions over the property and are accessed off the primary roads. This road system makes the property readily accessible and provides a major value enhancement. A well-developed road system such as this cannot be found on comparable properties. The topography of the ranch grades upward from west to east reaching its highpoint near Lookout Mountain and has elevation range of 3,800 feet to 5,600 feet. The vegetative habitat for the lower southern exposures consists of intermixed Ponderosa Pine, Juniper, brush, browse and grass. The higher elevations and northerly exposures consist of Douglas Fir, White Fir, Ponderosa Pine, Aspen, Tamarack (Larch), Willows and lots of grass. The varied habitat is ideal for the diverse wildlife that inhabits the ranch.RECREATION AND WILDLIFEThe Ochoco Ranch is a haven for Rocky Mountain Elk, Mule Deer, Antelope, Grouse, Quail and Turkey. Rainbow and Brook Trout can be found along Wolf Creek and Horse Heaven Creek. In addition, there are approximately 35 miles of spring fed creeks and 65 mapped springs located on the ranch. Fishery enhancements along the main tributaries would be beneficial to the trout populations and would improve the value. Historically, the ranch provided summer grazing for 800 to 1,000 head of cattle. The current owner has not allowed commercial hunting or cattle grazing for the past five years. The combination of hunting control and removal of livestock grazing has created greater forage production causing the wildlife resource to improve both in quantity and quality. The ranch is a safe haven for large elk and deer populations and has a reputation of producing trophy quality animals. The Ochoco Ranch qualifies for 10 landowner permits each for deer and elk. The bird species of quail, grouse and turkey offer multi species hunting opportunities in addition to the big game.

This volume is based on logs with a minimum six-inch diameter at the small end and lengths ranging from 16 to 32 feet, tailored to mill specifications. Beyond saw timber, there is significant biomass potential, with small-diameter logs yielding an estimated 160 MMBF of chip logs or approximately 880,000 bone dry tons (BDT). The annual growth rate of the timber is approximately 20 MMBF per year, representing a 5% increase.The timberlands primarily consist of pine and fir species, with the majority being Ponderosa Pine, White Fir, and Douglas Fir, followed by Juniper, Larch, and other mixed conifers.Lodge Pole Pine 48%Ponderosa Pine 48%White Fir 2.0%Sugar Pine 1.5%Other Mixed Confer 0.5%LOGGINGThe High Cascade Timberland Portfolio includes six tracts: Skyline, Wickiup, Gilchrist, Mazama, Spring Butte, and Lakeview. It features an extensive road network, with several mainline roads that are paved or rocked, providing efficient access to the timberlands for logging. At the heart of the tree farm lies the Gilchrist Mill, conveniently situated adjacent to the Gilchrist tract.The current owners follow a sustainable yield model, limiting the annual harvest to be less than the forest’s natural growth rate. This approach ensures the forests remain well-stocked, securing a steady source of logging income for years to come. The sustainable yield and uneven-aged management strategy promote significant long-term asset growth. The stands are densely stocked with high stem counts, including smaller diameter trees and biomass, resulting in a high basal area and robust growth potential for larger, high-quality timber over time. The property has effectively avoided major wildfire losses, thanks to an aggressive fuels’ reduction program and exemplary forestry practices by the current landowners, contributing to direct environmental benefits and long-term forest health.Nearby Mills:Gilchrist, Gilchrist OregonJeld Wen, Klamath FallsColumbia Klamath FallsDouglas County Forest Products Roseburg, OregonCollins Pine, LakeviewOther Local Specialty Product MillsCollins Pine, Klamath Falls (Chips)Quicksilver Contracting, La Pine (Chips)CARBONIn 2022, the property partnered with a carbon developer to establish a voluntary Carbon Credit Project, aiming to maximize the value of the underlying carbon credits. The company is currently in the process of quantifying the Emission Reduction Benefits (ERBs) on the property, with plans to validate, verify, register, and issue these credits in accordance with the applicable ERB framework. This partner has been granted exclusive rights to market the ERBs, and the anticipated annual logging activity has been factored into the calculations. The agreement encompasses all timberlands except for the Skyline tract, providing the buyer with the flexibility to explore additional opportunities at Bull Springs. If desired, the purchaser may choose to engage this company or others to pursue the carbon credit potential for this tract. The assessment of the ERBs is proceeding on schedule, with full registration expected by the end of 2025.
