THE OPPORTUNITY
The 5,235± acre Wilson Creek Tract is one of the
largest blocks of private timberland located at
the gateway to eastern Oregon’s Blue Mountains
having a combination of well-stocked stands
of ponderosa pine, Douglas-fir and western
larch, providing a long-term forestry investment
and exceptional landscape for hunting and
recreation. There is a newly-built owner’s cabin
and the property has views west to Mt. Hood,
Mt. Jefferson, Mt. Adams and Mt. Rainier.
The Wilson Creek Tract is located 12± miles
southeast of Heppner, between the Rhea
and Willow Creek drainages, and has been
managed as commercial timberland for over
75 years. It was part of the Kinzua Pine Mill
Company’s original ownership, and provided
logs to mills located in nearby Heppner and in
the company town of Kinzua, east of Fossil in
Wheeler County.
There is an airport in Lexington, near Heppner,
that can accommodate private jet aircraft, and
I-84 is within a 40-minute drive of Heppner.
The property extends over four miles north
to south from Summerfield Canyon to Rhea
Creek drainage, to nearly three miles west
to east from Wilson and Caplinger Creek
drainages to Cutsforth County Park, Willow
Creek and Blue Mountain Scenic Byway.
Topography ranges from 3,700± feet to 5,300±
feet and the property has 9.5± miles of frontage
along Wilson, Alder and Caplinger Creeks, with
a number of large meadows that could be used
for additional cabins, a hunting base camp or
owner’s residence with horse facilities.
The Wilson Creek Tract has numerous
springs plus twelve stock tanks which have
been installed in order to enhance habitat
for wildlife. Additional conservation
opportunities exist for a new owner to fence
and restore 200± acres of riparian areas along
all three creek drainages, which are all fish-
bearing streams.
