OUR "BOOTCAMP" SEMINAR JULY 12 - 14, 2013!

5 acres of land for sale in Christmas Valley, Oregon located in the high desert on the eastern side of the Cascade Mountains. It is about an 1.5 hours drive SE of Bend and 40 minutes SW of Burns, OR. The Christmas Valley Sand Dunes are nearby 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!

We have not had a chance to view this property and all of the photos were taken two miles SE on a previous visit in September 2006. The property is located about seven miles NE of the town of Christmas Valley as the crow flies.There are pretty mountain views to the south and east. The area is gentle rolling hills and pockets of sandy hills strewn about, tall sagebrush and native grass scattered. There are quite a few alfalfa farms in this area and I included a few photos of some of the crops we passed. It sure was a pretty time of year and the fall colors were a pretty yellow.

There was decent roads and power out to this area. By looking at the aerial photos it appears that there is a road that leads 40 acres to the east down the east section line and another one 30 acres to the north along the section line. You can also see in the aerial photo the irrigated crops about ten acres to the west and 30 acres to the north. There looks to be power along the north section line about 1/2 mile away according to what you can see in the Bing Maps link in the map section.

This property is located a few miles to the west of the sand dunes as seen in the section map and aerial map in the map section. Each square on the section map represents one square mile. The dunes contain 11,000 acres of sand dunes available to off-highway use. Approximately 11,000 acres of dunes are open to Class I, II, and III ATVs year round!

We 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!

This property sits near Fossil Lake, home to many fossils ranging from 10,000 to over 2 million years old. You can see Fossil Lake on the map of the scenic byways. I included a few photos of some 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.

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 : )

Lake County - Christmas Valley and Lakeview Area Photos

Christmas Valley is an interesting area indeed, with a mixture of farmers, people looking for an inexpensive rural area and thousands of acres of sand dunes to play in. It is about 100 miles SE of Bend in the high desert on the eastern side of the Cascade Mountains.

It really has a small town beat of its own and about 1000 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!

By the sand dunes is Fossil Lake, home to many fossils ranging from 10,000 to over 2 million years old. You can see Fossil Lake on the map of the scenic byways. I included a few photos of some 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.

We included a map of the Christmas Valley Back County Byway. In April 2012 I drove County Road 5-14C. 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!

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.
