Your choice of 3 adjoining 1.5 acre lots for sale in Beatty, Oregon with a few trees sprinkled about. It's a rural off grid area about 20 minutes NE of the little town of Sprague River, 1.25 hours NE of Klamath Falls and 2.5 hours E of Medford.
All of the photos were taken of the lots and their surrounding views in August 2018. It was very hazy from the fires in California fires and it looks like it was a cloudy day. The first 30 photos taken along the road that leads thru lots 15 & 14 about half way down the lots. The next 20 photos were taken around the little bump culdesac along Kleinrock Road which is the NE corner of lots 13 & 14. There wa a green utility telephone box at the end of the road. These next 30 photos were taken at Tuttwill Drive and along Kleinrock Road at the NW corner of lot 15 by the little culdesac.
I stopped and took a photo of the street sign at the corner of Tuttwill Drive and Kleinrock Road where the neighbor has a green house. I didn't notice til I went to put this up for sale that it's marked Big Mac Shoot and Gunslinger Road. Hmmm...all looked peaceful to me as I parked my truck and wandered about. I like big macs and fries once in a while when I have the munchies! Ha! There's a lot of green houses in Oregon Pines, that's for sure, lots of horticulturists!!
All 3 adjoining lots sit along Kleinrock Road as seen in the parcel map. There's tiny culdesacs that were bladed years ago removing the malapai rock but they are overgrown with vegetation. This is a photo if the W culdesac of the rock wall from being bladed years ago.
There is a pretty cedar tree around that culdesac that was covered in brilliant moss. It looks like it got hit by lightening or fire and survived - interesting!
There's a bladed dirt road winding thru the property lines between lots 15 & 14 but this is not an easement that shows on any maps. It appears from google earth to be a cut thru road locals have used over the years to cutdown to Loveless Road to the S since Kleinrock Road is a decent road back to Oregon Pines Road, the main drag. This photo was taken looking N towards the neighbors on that road.
There's a few cedar and pine trees scattered about the property on it's W side and maybe 1 or 2 across the other lots but for the most part the lots are wide open. Immediately W is a tree line that's coming down of the big hill to the NW. I spent some time studying the maps to figure out what was going on with the terrain here. The property has a high point at the NW corner of lot #15 and sits just at the tree line coming off hill. It then drops about 5 to 7 feet across to the E side of property. The E was very dry with sparse scattered vegetation and looks like water collects making spots bare. I noticed on the USGS and BLM maps, images 116 & 117, that there are several natural springs in the area. This would account for the way the E side of the property looked.
Wow is there a heck of a lot of malapai rock scattered about. So what are you going to do with all the rocks? I've seen quite a few properties on the mesa that have cleared their property of the big rocks and build rocks walls like this one I spotted down the road.
It's an open view across Tableland from the E to the S with treed mountains rising in the distance but the haze from the fires from California made them hard to see.
So what is Oregon Pines and why's it so cheap? For several years I have chosen to mostly not deal in land in this subdivision because wow it can be a bumpy ride to the top. And don't try to even attempt if it's wet mud during snowmelt season because it's thick and you'll get stuck.
My GPS tried to take me the wrong way up here so here's some directions to Oregon Pines: Oregon Pines Road sits about 3/4 of a mile W of Godowa Springs Road aka County Highway 1193. It's about 3.8 miles NW of Beatty and 13 miles E of Sprague River to the intersection of Drews Road (aka Drews Ranch Road on some maps) and Oregon Pines Road. It leads about 6.5 miles NW to the beginning part of Oregon Pines subdivision.
Tableland Mesa stretches between 5 and 10 miles N of the Sprague River Valley and climbs up into the foothills of Cooks Mountain and actually touches the Fremont-Winema National Forest. The canyons that lead up to the top of the mesa are beautiful to explore. Melting snow and heavy rains cut intermittent streams thru these narrow canyons and this subdivision is built around the canyons with lots of culverts crossing the streams.
In 2012 I was exploring a property in Cooks Canyon on the W side of Cooks Mountain and spotted several prints in the dirt which included bear, cougar and deer! Which brings me back to the reason I purchased lots at Oregon Pines. It's definitely not my favorite stuff because of all the rocks but it's cheap and it's the hunters who buy it from me.
About 2 miles NW as the crow flies is the Fremont-Winema National Forest offering 2.3 million acres to explore! The heavily timbered western portion of the forests is bordered by the crest of the Cascade Mountain Range and Crater Lake National Park, and stretches east into the Klamath River Basin, an area known for its year-round sunshine, wetlands, woodlands and wildlife. It's also home to Crater Lake, famous for its deep blue color and water clarity.
It sits directly on the Pacific Flyway, a major migratory route for birds extending from Alaska to the tip of South America. Every year, migratory birds travel some or all of this distance both in spring and in fall, finding food, breeding grounds, and overwintering sites. About 80% of those bird make the Klamath Basin a stopover which is over 1 million at times! And wow is it an incredible display of large and small birds, and there is an abundant amount of the large ones!
The largest concentration of bald eagles in the lower 48 states winters here and they are a fabulous sight to see as seen in the additional photos area! I love the drive from Klamath Falls to Sprague River/Beatty and it's flock after flock of birds. I spotted this bald eagle sitting on the fence along Oregon Pines Road!
Sprague River, population 514, sits about 35 miles NE of Klamath Falls. It has a store with basic necessities, a restaurant I have seen come and go and there is also a post office. This is a favorite area for many seeking a rural setting in the countryside. In June 2012 we stopped in at the little country store in Sprague River for some supplies and also across the street at the Post Office / Public Library. A special shout out to Joyce, the postal worker who also happens to be the librarian. She educated me about the library...among other things. Like which side the glass window would be on if they were truly closed! : )
I peeked thru the window into the library which was not yet open and she said they were kept very busy and they also offer an interlibrary system that allows people to special order books and tapes from any library in Klamath County. They get delivered right to the library out here. I commented that we had that were we lived in as well and we are big fans of that - a cheap way to read investing and inspirational material for me cause I am cheap! Ha! She said theirs is very busy!
I also enjoyed seeing kids jumping from the bridge and playing in the Sprague River and a couple out fishing along the Williamson River and included some of these additional photos at the very bottom.
Klamath County borders northern California and is the fourth largest county in Oregon. Klamath Falls is the county seat as well as the largest nearby town about 45 minutes from Sprague River and Beatty. Here you will find large businesses like Home Depot and Safeway and the courthouse in an old downtown beautiful setting. I've seen winters where the roads are dry and winters where's there's several feet of snow. I do not explore land here during the winter and some springs are iffy because unless a neighbor is driving a road to keep the snow down it's blocked. And I've seen it snow here in May and June on a wild weather day! This is the Cascade's!
I enjoy the drive from Klamath Falls out to this area. It follows the Lost River for a few miles and I frequently stop at Stevenson Park which is a little wayside pullout with a couple picnic benches and see what's in the river. One day I saw pelicans...what??? I thought they lived in Florida! Gotta laugh at myself!
In August 2018, the haze from the California wildfires made for a beautiful sunset and as I headed W of Beatty I spotted these two Great Blue Herons, one on top of an old barn and the other on a pole. Soon the one on the barn flew down to join the other for a romantic sunset! I was thrilled to capture it in flight! I see online it's referred to the "old Gallagher barn" - so glad they have left it standing. Some might think it's useless, why leave it? But these two had one heck of a romantic night at that old barn! Ha! : )
Zoned for either a home or a manufactured home this is a great place for someone not afraid of living at the intersection of "Big Mac Shoot and Gunslinger Rd"! I like big macs once in a while with a few fries! Enjoy! Char the Explorer : )
