Long Term Lease approx 50 Acres near Silverton


Description

Honestly more land than we need. East facing slope pasture and bottom land around the creeks. We’ve been here 33 years and intend to keep land in family but we and our son are open to a long term lease.

Our land is fenced but fences need lots work. It contains our 14 head of Dexter cattle and similar numbers of Blue Faced Leicester cross sheep.

We can provide materials in exchange for help.

Plenty of water on the property for livestock.

Timber and a good situation for outdoor mushrooms.

 

 


Owner’s Short Term Vision for the Property

Establishba a long term, respectful working lease relationship that benefits all of us. While we have no housing available there is housing in Silverton. Our family is onsite to help with animal care if that might work. It's legal to have an RV here 120 days a year. Oregon's land use laws are strict but I don't doubt creative minds can work out something.
