GETTING THERE

From downtown Prineville, travel south on South Main Street (OR-27) toward the Crooked River and the southern edge of town. Continue on South Main Street for approximately 2 miles. The entrance to Crooked River Ranch & Equestrian Estate will be on the west side of the road.

AIRPORT SERVICES

Air access is straightforward and efficient. Roberts Field–Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM), approximately 30 minutes from the ranch, serves as Central Oregon’s primary commercial airport and provides regular service to major western cities, making regional and out-ofstate travel convenient for owners and guests.

For private aviation, Prineville Airport (S39) is located just minutes from the property and supports general aviation traffic, providing added flexibility for private aircraft and charter operations. Together, these two airport options enhance the property’s accessibility while reinforcing the broader advantage of owning in a part of Oregon that remains both functional and wellconnected.

WATER RIGHTS

The primary dwelling’s domestic water is supplied by a well located near the home. All corrals, stalls, and livestock water on the property are supplied by an additional well, with frost-free spickets and water troughs located throughout the corrals, providing reliable year-round water delivery for livestock and equestrian operations.

In addition, Crooked River Rim Horse Ranch includes 6.1± acres of irrigation water rights sourced from the Crooked River through the Ochoco Irrigation District (OID). These rights are supported by an installed, fully operational pumping system that provides a reliable and efficient method for irrigating pasture and supporting agricultural uses on the property. The Ochoco Irrigation District delivers water from the Crooked River system to agricultural lands throughout the Prineville area and has supported local farming and ranching operations for more than a century, contributing to the productivity and longterm value of agricultural properties in the region.

Under Oregon law, all water is publicly owned. With some exceptions, cities, farmers, factory owners, and other users must obtain a permit or water right from the Water Resources Department to use water from any source, whether it is underground or from lakes or streams. Landowners with water flowing past, through, or under their property do not automatically have the right to use that water without a permit from the Department. The waters of Oregon are administered by the State of Oregon under a “prior-appropriation” doctrine; first in time, first in right. 30
