Two adjoining 5 acre parcels of land for sale about 2 hours SE of Bend Oregon in Christmas Valley on the eastern side of the Cascade Mountains. It sits close to the Christmas Valley Sand Dunes and is an ATV off-road enthusiasts dream in Central Oregon. Often referred to as the "Oregon Outback" this region is an arid climate with lots of sunshine! These properties are just waiting for someone seeking a dirt cheap getaway!

All of the photos were taken in April 2012 of the property and the surrounding views. It sits just off paved county road 5-14K also known as Christmas Valley Wagontire Road. From there we took overgrown bladed roads to the properties.

To the east was a trailer about 1/2 of a mile away and to the SW is a very cute newer cabin. The property is covered in lots of tall thick green healthy sage brush and had a gentle roll to it. There are very pretty views of the mountains in all directions! I though the view to the west of the mountains was very pretty and although there are transmission lines in the distance I did not find them disturbing they are so far away. It is a very cool mesa that runs for a long ways!

A school bus went by while we were viewing the property. I was surprised since this is very off the beaten path. So nice to see that it had such excellent access out here by a paved road which was about a 20 minute drive from the town of Christmas Valley. I did not see power so you will need to consider an alternative source of power like solar or generator.

It sure is a pretty place to go hang out and find shells! I saw quite a few of them and lined a few of them up on my hand so you can see just how small they are! I read that Fossil Lake is home to these and many other fossils ranging from 10,000 to over 2 million years old. You can see Fossil Lake on one of the map of the scenic byways.


This property sits a few miles south of the Christmas Valley Sand Dunes. We have noted this in the section map and aerial photos. Each square on the section map represents one square mile. We also included a map of the Oregon Outback scenic byways. I actually ended up driving NE on 15-14C as seen in this map. It sure was beautiful as I saw herd after herd of antelope and deer. I finally had to quit stopping and taking photos as we would never have gotten out of there! It was stunning and beautiful and I was so surprised to once again find something cool on my travels - how many times had I driven by that road and never realized what was down it! Oh I love rural America!

Christmas Valley is a small town community of about 1,000 people that offers basic amenities, and is also world known for its alfalfa production! If you have been seeking a place to hang out in your RV while you play in the sand dunes, or a place to get away from everyone while you go explore the Great Oregon Outback be sure and check this out. Located only an 1.5 hours out of Bend, Oregon this rural getaway might just be your spot! Enjoy! Char the Explorer : )

A video I made of Christmas Valley Lake in Lake County in the Great Oregon Outback!

Christmas Valley is located in the Great Oregon Outback in Lake County about 100 miles SE of Bend. It is a high desert region on the eastern side of the Cascade Mountains. It is a mixture of farmers growing the largest concentration of alfalfa in Oregon and people seeking rural land. The biggest highlight is the 11,000 acres at the Christmas Valley Sand Dunes for ATV enthusiasts to play on, the largest in the Pacific Northwest.

It is a friendly town and I really have come to enjoy stopping at the hotel on the lake and being woken up by the birds at the crack of a beautiful dawn! It has a small town beat of its own and about 1300 people call this place home.

Originally subdivided back in the 1960's this place never really took off and instead has slowly grown over the years. Today the town consists of a post office, 9 hole golf course, health clinic, a couple of restaurants, church, grocery/gas stores, a school, the rodeo grounds, library and airport to name a few. One afternoon we stopped at the clubhouse for lunch and I found myself chuckling to myself as the farmers came driving right up in their big tractors!

This area is best known by off-road enthusiasts who spend vacation time at the nearby Christmas Valley Sand Dunes! Christmas Valley contains 11,000 acres of sand dunes up to 60 feet high and is available to off-highway use. The dunes are open to Class I, II and III ATVs year round, but can be inaccessible during the winter and spring months due to extremely muddy roads. The dunes are composed largely of ash and pumice that blew into the area over 7,000 years ago when Mt. Mazama erupted, forming Crater Lake. People trek here many weekends in the summertime to play in the famous dunes!

To the west is Fort Rock Basin which some of the earliest known inhabitants of this continent called home. Sandals found in the cave date back 9,000 years.

We included a map of the Christmas Valley Back County Byway. In April 2012 I drove County Road 5-14C. It sure was stunning and beautiful as I saw herd after herd of antelope and deer. I finally had to quit stopping and taking photos as we would never have gotten out of there! I was so surprised to once again find something cool on my travels - how many times had I driven by that road and never realized what was down it! Oh I love rural America!

It is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, National Scenic Byways Program. The program is a grass-roots collaborative effort established to help recognize, preserve and enhance selected roads as All-American Roads or National Scenic Byways based on one or more archeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational and scenic qualities.

Fossil Lake is also in the area as seen in the Back Country Byway map. It is home to many fossils ranging from 10,000 to over 2 million years old. I included a few photos of tiny shells I found a few miles SE of the lake in April 2012. I read an article online from 1978 about the ban of off road vehicles in this area to protect these fossils. I was wondering what shells were doing out there - or at least that's what I think they are! Scientists have collected and identified fossil remains of 25 species of birds, 7 species of fish and 11 species of mollusks.
