Forested Lot Close To Sprague River And Backing Up To National Forest

The subject property is a 1.2 acre lot located in Lone Pine On The Sprague, a small rural subdivision situated southeast of Chiloquin.

Flanked to its north and west by the Sprague River and backing up to over 14,000 acres of National Forest Land, this property is 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 situated just south of Sprague River Road, one of the primary paved arterials throughout this region of the County. While this road may be close by, the two are separated by the Sprague River, with the nearest bridge being roughly two miles away. Because of the distance, the number of roads one has to traverse between the two, the general lack of traffic most of these roads experience and the fact you'll be passing through National Forest Land, anyone scouting the property is advised to take a larger truck or off-road capable vehicle. 

Roads & Access, Cont'd: Traveling from Sprague River Road to the subject property, one will pass over Saddle Mountain Pit Road, Saddle Mountain Lane and finally Buckhorn Lane, where the subject property is located. While this really amounts to no more than always taking the left when coming to a fork in the road, we have provided turn-by-turn directions here for anyone who needs additional help locating the subject property.

Roads & Access, Cont'd: The subject property is located along Buckhorn Lane. Buckhorn is a dirt road which appears easy enough to traverse in good weather. As noted above, anyone scouting the property is advised to take a larger truck or off-road capable vehicle.

Power & Utilities: Residential power lines and underground utilities don't have a presence in this subdivision and appear to stop roughly two miles away at the home sites just south of the bridge. Because of this, anyone looking to develop the land is encouraged to consider alternative energy sources such as solar panels. 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 Lone Pine On The Sprague 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 Lone Pine On The Sprague subdivision has no HOA and there are no annual dues associated with land ownership here.

Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions: Despite being part of a formal subdivision, there are no covenants or restrictions on file with the County for either the Lone Pine On The Sprague subdivision or the subject property.

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. 

National Forest: It should be noted that the subject property backs up to 14,600+ acres of government land designated as National Forest. That means this is public land which may be used for hunting, hiking, horseback riding, camping, picnicking, riding dirtbikes and any number of other outdoor activities. Additionally, as it backs up directly to the subject property, it will give whoever buys this 1.2 acre parcel an additional 14,600+ acres of backyard. That also means the land will never be developed and the property's western border will always be flanked by this National Forest retreat.

Sprague River: This subdivision gets its name from the nearby Sprague River. This river and its many tributaries boast superb trout fishing opportunities, making this property especially suited for the fisherman in the family. In addition, there are a number of public fishing spots within walking distance of the subject property, meaning anyone looking to take advantage of the nearby river will not have to worry about trespassing on their neighbor's land.

Lone Pine On The Sprague: It's worth noting that the Lone Pine On The Sprague subdivision is one of the smallest we've ever encountered, totaling no more than 56 parcels. Additionally, there appear to be no more than ten developed lots in this area. When combining these facts with the location of the subdivision - two miles from the bridge and on the other side of Federal Land - it makes the subject property perfect for those seeking privacy and seclusion, as you're unlikely to encounter anyone that doesn't already live here.

Property Boundary Markers: Potential buyers will be pleased to learn that property boundary stakes can be found marking each of this parcel's four corners, denoting where the subject property ends and the neighboring lot begins. This should be a benefit to anyone looking to develop the land concerned about encroaching on their neighbor’s property who also doesn’t want to incur the cost of a survey.

Neighboring Structure: It should be noted that the neighboring property is home to small green structure which appears to be either a tiny home or an outhouse. Again, this structure is on the neighboring property and is not included with the sale of the subject property.

Situated roughly twenty minutes northeast of the subject property along Sprague River Road is the town of Chiloquin. While small and home to a population of less than one thousand people, this town will still prove a reliable source for groceries and supplies. In addition, it boasts a few cafes and restaurants, churches and schools, a post office and bank as well as a store which sells fishing and hunting supplies.

Anyone in need of national chains or big box stores for larger grocery and supply runs will need to venture into nearby Klamath Falls, the County seat which sits roughly forty-five minutes from 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.
