This amazing property sits just outside of Richland, Oregon perched on a gradual hillside looking out over the quaint town of New Bridge and the beautiful Eastern Oregon countryside beyond. Driving north on Eagle Creek Road takes you into the heart of the Wallowa Mountains. There you’ll find trail heads, campgrounds, 8,000 foot peaks, mountain lakes and streams and thousands of acres of National Forest. A short drive south takes you to the town of Richland where you’ll find the best of rural, country living. Just outside of Richland you’ll find the Snake River and the Hells Canyon recreation area complete with endless fishing and camping opportunities, boat ramps and a wide range of wild game that spans the full spectrum for hunting and fishing enthusiasts. The Richland Valley is known as the banana belt of Northeast Oregon. With relatively mild winters, fertile soil, plenty of water and a long growing season, this location is unique in the region. Just under 10 acres, this property is split into two adjoining tax lots both with established flood irrigation from the Newt Young ditch. The home site consists of 3.98 acres bordered by Eagle Creek Road to the East and the Moody Ditch flowing across the western edge. A circular driveway provides plenty of parking and access to the lower portion of the property and the remaining property provides grass for grazing animals and / or room for a future shop or barn. The second tax lot would be an incredible home site with a constant, gentle slope perfect for a walk-out basement floorplan. Inside, you’ll find a solid, well built original ranch house that the current owners have already begun improving. The main level boasts new flooring and a functional layout with plenty of natural light and views in almost every direction. Upstairs is currently a large bonus space that could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom. Downstairs, a full basement with great ceiling height and walk-out access to the lower level is a blank slate
