Forested Corner Lot Close To Sprague River

The subject property is a 2.3 acre lot located in Ferguson Mountain Pines, a rural residential community situated north of Beatty and set against the backdrop of the lush green fields and aspen meadows of southern Oregon.

This property sits within close proximity of both the Fremont-Winema National Forest and the Sprague River, making it ideal not only for hunting and fishing, but also hiking, camping and horseback riding.

When we speak of property we typically use an address -- 123 Main Street for instance. 

As most vacant land does not have a physical address, however, county governments will identify it in other ways, such as a "legal description", a parcel number or a tax code. The information provided in the table to the right are the ways in which the various state and county agencies will identify this specific parcel of land. These signifiers are important to have when speaking with these agencies - whether they be the assessor, the zoning office, or even the local utilities - and may prove invaluable when initiating conversations about whatever research a buyer intends to do.

Whenever one exists or has been assigned to the land, the physical address will be included in this table.

Roads & Access: The subject property is a corner lot located where Mayberry Drive meets Rio Vista Drive. Both of these roads consist of graded dirt and gravel and should be easy for most vehicles to navigate. Additionally, this property is located within two miles of Sycan Road, one of the major arterials cutting through this region of the County. Given the rural nature of this subdivision, however, a larger truck or off-road capable vehicle is recommended for anyone visiting the land.

Power & Utilities: While residential power lines and underground utility boxes can be found in some other parts of this subdivision, neither has a presence anywhere within a mile of the subject property. Additionally, while there are developed home sites in this region, many seem to be reliant on solar panels and other alternative forms of power. Because of this, anyone looking to develop the land is encouraged to investigate these alternatives. Anyone looking to investigate the costs associated with getting service connected on the subject property is encouraged to contact Pacific Power, the utility company servicing this region.

Zoning: The Ferguson Mountain Pines subdivision is zoned R-2, a designation whose purpose is to establish and maintain areas for rural residential uses. This may include everything from single family residences to small-scale hobby farming. To learn more about the R-2 Zoning Designation, please see the attached PDF.

No HOA: The Ferguson Mountain Pines subdivision has no HOA and there are no annual dues associated with land ownership here.

Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions: When the Ferguson Mountain Pines subdivision was first created, the developer drew up a set of covenants and restrictions to run with the land. While these types of documents normally enumerate a set of rules for how properties are to be used and developed, most of this document defers its authority to local and state zoning regulations. Because of this it is more important for a property owner here to familiarize themselves with those rules. Nonetheless, anyone considering purchasing the property who is curious to read them, may do so by reviewing the Ferguson Mountain Pines Covenants and Restrictions document linked here.

Acceptable Structures: It should be noted that per County zoning, acceptable structures for this region include single family residences, mobile homes and manufactured homes. Additionally, the minimum square footage requirement for this region is only 300 square feet, meaning this area is ideal for tiny homes as well. To learn more about developing the land for residential purposes please contact the Klamath County Planning Department.

Camping & RV Use: The subject property may be used for camping but only for twenty-one days in a six month period. Anyone looking to stay longer than seven consecutive days must acquire a permit from the County. Additionally, RVs may be used here but only for recreational purposes. RVs may not be used as permanent residences though may be used for longer if the owner has acquired a building permit (meaning if they're in the process of building the permanent home site). Tiny homes with a trailer frame (meaning not on a permanent foundation) are classified as RVs and thus must be registered with the state DMV. Any use of such a vehicle on the land would be considered recreational use and not residential. To learn more about using the land recreationally please contact the Klamath County Planning Department. 

Sprague River: As noted, this subdivision sits just a few miles north of the Sprague River. This river and its many tributaries boast superb trout fishing opportunities, making this property especially suited for the fisherman in the family. 

While the town of Beatty is close to the subject property it is ultimately very small and offers little more than a post office. Anyone looking for food and supplies will need to venture into nearby Klamath Falls, the County seat which sits in close proximity to this subdivision. Home to 22,000 residents, this vibrant community boasts hospitals, schools, parks and churches as well as places to shop, dine and relax, including the picturesque Klamath Lake.
