Property Overview
Bar Y Ranch and Pivots is a rare opportunity to acquire a large-scale, productive agricultural holding in the heart of Oregon’s Upper Klamath Marsh region. This ranch encompasses 6,866.47± deeded acres consisting of the 6,399.61± acre Bar Y Ranch headquarters holding and, located just one-half mile north of the ranch headquarters tract, the 466.86± acre Bar Y Pivots.
The combined operation benefits from approximately 5,717.3± acres of primary water rights and 5,350.1± acres of supplemental water rights sourced from Sand Creek, Scott Creek, the Williamson River, and four irrigation wells.
This ranch is positioned along the northwestern edge of the Klamath Marsh, one of the West’s most productive forage regions, noted for strong summer feed that produces excellent cattle weight gains. With the Cascade Mountains to the west and the Upper Klamath Marsh to the east, the ranch’s groundwater table has remained stable, enabling the irrigation wells to sustain significant production in supporting the ranch’s irrigation water resources.
The combined operation offers remarkable flexibility. A buyer can continue the established seasonal grazing program or expand hay production to support a year-round cattle operation that utilizes both the pivot ground and the ranch’s expansive pasture resources. Existing infrastructure, including residences, barns, corrals, irrigation systems, and extensive fencing, supports efficient management from day one.
Bordered by the Fremont-Winema National Forest and the Upper Klamath Marsh, Bar Y Ranch and Pivots presents an uncommon combination of production agriculture, wildlife habitat, recreation, and investment value. Ranches of this scale, with this level of water infrastructure and operational flexibility, rarely become available in the Klamath Basin.
