Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1976
We purchased this property in 1976 after discovering the John Day Valley, per chance, driving in from the East, over Dixie Pass, on our way back across Oregon to Eugene on a quest for a country home. We now live in a different home in the valley and could not bring ourselves to sell the Farm House. It is just to cool and unique and our own family and friends use it periodically.
