Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in Burns, Oregon

Held by the same family since being patented by President Woodrow Wilson, this remarkable 160-acre property bordering the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Oregon history. Legal access via Sodhouse Lane makes the property eligible for residential development under Oregon land use regulations, providing the opportunity to build a private home or retreat in an exceptional setting. The gently rolling landscape is covered in native sagebrush and bunchgrass, with sweeping views across the Harney Basin to the snow-capped Steens Mountains. While the property is currently unimproved, with no well or power, a nearby transmission line offers future development potential while preserving the property's remote character. Bordering one of North America's premier wildlife habitats, the property provides outstanding opportunities to enjoy migratory birds, deer, antelope, and the natural beauty of the high desert. Buildable parcels with legal access adjoining the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge are exceptionally rare, making this a unique opportunity for recreation, conservation, or a legacy property to be enjoyed for generations.
