Land

Steeped in history, this remarkable timber and grazing property is a rare consolidation of several original homesteads dating back to the early 1900S-Hansen, Dimmick, Gerdemann, and Stansbury-now combined into one expansive parcel.

Water is abundant, with two year-round creeks-Brinker Creek and Logtown Creek-along with numerous natural springs scattered throughout the land. Lush native grasses thrive here, even in drier years, supporting strong grazing potential.

Wildlife is exceptional, with frequent sightings of elk, deer, bear, cougar, and coyote, along with wild turkey and blue grouse. The property is especially well known for its outstanding elk hunting in the fall, with strong herd presence, natural travel corridors, and ideal habitat that consistently draws and holds game. Whether you prefer archery or rifle seasons, this land offers prime opportunities for both seasoned hunters and recreational outdoorsmen. The diverse terrain-timber, open grazing ground, and water sources-naturally attracts and supports wildlife, offering excellent hunting opportunities.

Beyond hunting, the recreational opportunities here are extensive. Miles of natural terrain lend themselves to ATV and horseback riding, hiking, and exploring. The high-country setting transforms in the winter months, with deep snowfall creating ideal conditions for snowmobiling, snowcat excursions, and backcountry winter adventures. The property offers the kind of year-round outdoor lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find-private, expansive, and rich with opportunity.

Currently supporting up to 100 AUMs for the grazing season typically May through October, the land is well-equipped with over half the acreage enclosed in new 4-wire, all-steel fencing completed in 2025.

Located in high country terrain, the property receives ample snowfall, opening the door for winter recreation such as snowmobiling or snowcat access.

Access is provided via two established routes a deeded easement from the divide into Mormon Basin and a historic prescriptive easement dating back to the original homesteading era. The property spans multiple parcels, with one located in Baker County and the other three in Malheur County.

Rich in heritage, Logtown earned its name during the regional mining boom, when a sawmill along Brinker Creek supplied lumber to local miners and ranchers.
