31702 Middle Fork Lane, Long Creek, OR 97856

Rockin’ River Ranch on the Middle Fork offers a combination that has become increasingly difficult to find in the West: private river frontage, direct public land access, and a fully established recreational ranch positioned along one of Oregon’s last free-flowing river systems. Located near Long Creek in Grant County, Oregon, this 238± acre property spans nearly three-quarters of a mile along the Middle Fork John Day River and delivers the kind of outdoor lifestyle that draws sportsmen, anglers, and landowners back to Eastern Oregon year after year. The setting is both functional and secluded. As you cross the private bridge onto the ranch, the landscape opens into a mix of river bottom, meadows, timbered draws, and mountain ground that naturally supports wildlife movement throughout the property. Deer, elk, turkey, grouse, waterfowl, and other native species regularly utilize the ranch and surrounding country, while direct access to the adjacent Malheur National Forest significantly expands the recreational footprint beyond the deeded acreage itself. Fishing opportunities are equally compelling. The Middle Fork John Day River is recognized for native trout fishing and seasonal steelhead opportunities, allowing owners and guests to step directly from the home to the water’s edge with a fly rod in hand. Very few properties in Oregon still offer this level of private river access combined with an established homesite so close to the river corridor. The ranch improvements support comfortable year-round ownership and off-grid living. The extensively remodeled home overlooks the river and surrounding canyon country, while additional infrastructure includes a guest cabin, shop, barns, greenhouse, storage buildings, hydroelectric power generation, solar systems, gravity-fed spring water, and a replacement dwelling permit for a future second home. Rockin’ River Ranch on the Middle Fork is a property built around recreation, privacy, and long-term enjoyment of the land. Whether used as a seasonal retreat, hunting and fishing headquarters, or full-time residence, the ranch delivers an increasingly rare opportunity to own a meaningful stretch of river in the American West.
