About This Home

Welcome to Rockin’ River Ranch—238± deeded acres of wild and scenic riverfront along Oregon’s Middle Fork of the John Day River. Offering 0.75± miles of river frontage, this rare, off-grid retreat combines breathtaking natural beauty with a sustainable lifestyle. The 1,903 sq ft home, remodeled in 2022, offers 2 beds, 2 baths, and is powered by solar and hydroelectric systems, supported by gravity-fed spring water. A 10’x20’ guest cabin sits near the river, and additional structures include a large 3-bay shop, two barns, a greenhouse, and a storage shed. Grandfathered under the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act, the home sits just 300± ft from the river—an exceptionally rare opportunity. Enjoy year-round recreation: fishing, kayaking, and relaxing by the water; then explore thousands of acres of public lands nearby, including direct access to Malheur National Forest and close proximity to Umatilla and Whitman National Forests. Eligible for 2 elk and 2 deer LOP tags, you can also enjoy seasonal hunting on your very own land. Should a second home on the property fit in your vision, a replacement dwelling permit is available. Conveniently located near amenities and charming towns, yet secluded, this property offers the ideal balance for those seeking autonomy, nature, and a true legacy property. Rockin’ River Ranch invites you to reconnect, recharge, and redefine what home means in the heart of Eastern Oregon. Seller willing to carry contract at 4.95%, call for more information. This property is co-listed with Dixie Barry of Fay Ranches, Inc.
