The Circle Bar Ranch is located approximately 35 miles south of the small community of Jordan Valley, Oregon. Boise, Idaho is approximately 100 road miles to the northeast and Winnemucca, Nevada about 200 miles to the south. The communities of Nampa and Caldwell, Idaho provide most services including emergency and long term medical, all pertinent shopping necessities and advanced educational institutions. The area is steeped in history dating back to the fur trade of the early 1800’s and flowing into the mining of the 1860’s and subsequent ranching operations that followed. Ranch proximity to the Boise Valley, coupled with the rugged vastness of Juniper Mountain and the Three Forks area, make for a one-of-a-type offering. All three forks of the Owyhee Rivers border and/or pass through ranch holdings. Vehicle access to sizable portions of the state leases and BLM lands are restricted via deeded land. Boise offers commercial air service and connections from all major cities in the country.

The ranch is possibly the most competitively priced combination recreation/working ranch on the market. Any legitimate prospect looking for a Great Basin buckaroo lifestyle mixed with Mule deer, upland game birds, fresh water fishery, a modest elk population and other complimentary wildlife will appreciate the Circle Bar.

Vehicle access to about 20,000 acres of Oregon State Grazing Lease is controlled through deeded lands. A portion of the Idaho BLM is also accessed through deeded land. The isolation and vastness of the Circle Bar holdings eliminate all but the stout hearted. Other than at the confluence at Three Forks and the opening of hunting seasons, this agent has never encountered any recreational and/or fisherpersons on either the Oregon State leases or the Idaho BLM during the past 15 years.

A neighboring rancher holds a recorded right-of-way on a roadway passing through the Circle Bar. The Circle Bar also has a recorded right-of-way via roadway through such neighbor.

Western Watersheds Project, John Marvel, is constantly harassing the BLM over grazing in the Owyhee’s. This is an ongoing battle with no end in sight. The Boise and Twin Falls BLM offices are currently carrying the torch for the southern Idaho ranchers. It is the BLM’s intent to keep cattle grazing as a viable management tool. Please consult with this agent for more information.
