Situated a mere 35± miles east of Bend, Oregon, The New Moffitt Ranch presents a remarkable opportunity with substantial potential. Encompassing an impressive 93,000± acres in the high desert region of Central Oregon, this cattle operation offers a wide range of advantages to a prospective new operator.
The ranch features 7,284± acres of deeded land, serving as the operational base. In addition, it includes a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grazing permit spanning 29,930± acres, with a capacity of 2,326± Animal Unit Months (AUMs). Furthermore, a United States Forest Service (USFS) permit covers 55,967± acres, allowing for the grazing of 600 pairs from May 15th to September 30th. The contiguous nature of the deeded acres and grazing allotments streamlines operations, offering convenience and efficiency.
Notable improvements on the ranch encompass a spacious feedlot, a remodeled shop, a comfortable two-bedroom ranch house, and two newly installed pivots, providing irrigation for approximately 300± acres of newly developed farmland.

Adding to its appeal, The New Moffitt Ranch has secured a lucrative wind farm contract negotiated by the current owners. This active contract, which requires the signing of a Non-Disclosure Agreement and pre-qualification by the buyer, has the potential to generate annual revenues exceeding $500,000. The wind farm project has progressed beyond the proposal stage, with the developer already making annual payment compensation to the seller.
Benefiting from an exceptional location, a mere 45 minutes east of Bend on Highway 20, the ranch offers convenient access to major services, shopping centers, medical facilities, and more.
