From the Zillow listing:
Now available for only the second time in over 120 years, The Stanley Ranch (formerly Steiwer Ranch) stands as one of the most iconic and diverse ranches in the Western United States. Spanning over 24,000 contiguous deeded acres in a single block, the ranch boasts more than 26 miles of rivers and streams, along with natural artesian springs flowing from basalt rimrock formations throughout the landscape. Renowned for its exceptional big game and upland bird hunting and world-class fishery, The Stanley Ranch also offers traditional ranching income. The ranch’s rich history stretches back over 2,500 years, with evidence of use by native peoples of the Columbia Plateau visible in the form of ancient rock art and pictographs etched along basalt cliffs and hidden caves throughout the ranch. The ranch’s elevation ranges from 1,100 feet along the John Day River to over 3,900 feet at the headwaters of Deep Creek and the West Fork of Butte Creek, creating diverse habitats that sustain wildlife year-round. With over 270 acres of water rights and ample water resources, the ranch can comfortably support up to 600 mother cows annually, offering a rare blend of natural beauty, pre- and post-settlement history, world-class recreation, and agricultural productivity.
