Beautiful rural property surrounded by rolling hills topped with pine trees. Rare large acreage property. Good Investment!This is a great opportunity to own affordable investment property in Southeastern Oregon. Located in spectacular Lake County this property represents an excellent short to long term investment in an area that is primed for future growth. Property values in Oregon have soared in recent years and thus people have been moving to the eastern portions of the state. This is demonstrated by the incredible growth of the community of Bend in the central portion of the state. Lake County is benefiting from the explosive growth as investors and residents look for opportunities outside of Bend, but still close enough to enjoy the services and benefits of an incredible resort town! This trend will likely continue to the east as affordable property in central Oregon also becomes scarce and business entrepreneurs expand to the friendly business atmosphere of Lake County. This area is primed for growth with good transportation shipping corridors and a strategic location between four Pacific Northwest States (Washington, Oregon, California, and Idaho). Real Estate will soon be beyond the reach of most Americans as the population continues to increase. Property in "best kept secret" areas like Lake County will soon be in high demand! 78 percent of the land in Lake County is owned and managed by the state and federal governments leaving a very limited amount of land available for private ownership. This is a great opportunity to own a private retreat that will be a fantastic investment for generations to come!

The quality of life in Lake County is characterized by a friendly, small town environment, a low crime rate, churches representing many denominations, opportunities to participate in the fine arts, many dedicated public service volunteers, access to a fine hospital, and the opportunity to participate in active service and fraternal organizations. Livability is enhanced by the high, healthy (normally dry) climate. There is plenty of sun here with an average of 265 days of sun per year, and annual precipitation of 15.8" per yer. Summer temperatures range between 75 to 90 degrees while winter temperatures range between 25 to 40 degrees. The growing season averages 100 days per year! The region’s heritage is also diverse. Native Americans, cowboys, Basque sheepherders, Japanese farmers, and European settlers: many cultures have left a mark on this land and continue to thrive here.
