Improvements: The home on this property was constructed in 1875 and has been lived in continuously since that time. (The previous owner was a life long resident in this home.) While the home is in habitable condition it is in need of serious attention, as there are visible defects, and potential buyers are advised to have it inspected to ascertain its suitability for their intended purposes.
In addition to the home there is a pump house, chicken house, machine shed and several other old buildings that are located near the home. These buildings are also in need of serious repair or removal.

DOMESTIC WELL: Although the residence is served by a domestic well no information was available as to its depth and yield.
Remarks: This is a piece of Oregon history. (A home that has been around for 132 years in a community that dates back to the mid 1800’s.) The Jordan area, as it is known, was settled by German immigrants from Minnesota and South Dakota, and this farm is owned by the descendants of those settlers. It is a very attractive property with level, irrigated bottom land that rises up to a panoramic view from the top of the hill. The several wood lots that are on the property give this farm a nice diverse look. Farms in this area are seldom for sale on the open market and offer an opportunity for a wide variety of crops to be grown
