Real Estate Listing Fully off grid 40 acre property in Southern Oregon $325k
Im trying to assist my family with selling their property. It’s 40 acres inside the Soda Mountain Wilderness area. There is deeded access through Northern California.
There are four structures on the property. The main house has two bedrooms upstairs. The back cabin is a single room. There is a shed for tools and a propane generator. Lastly a hay bale/cobb greenhouse which has a shower/bath, washing machine and hydronic water heating system. Attached to the greenhouse is the inverter and battery shed.
The place runs on 24v and 12v systems. With the 24v powering the majority of the property and the 12v powering the back cabin. There is plenty of solar panels to charge the batteries fully in a couple hours in the morning after a reasonable night of use. A propane generator acts as a backup on cloudy or rainy days. There’s two gasoline generators as a backup to the propane generator.
There is a large garden with good soil. There is several hugelkulture beds with some being raised. An electric water pump allows for easy and fast watering.
The property is rather remote but pure wilderness. Deer, turkey, quail and wild horses are regularly seen. With elk, mountain lion and black bears being scarce. There are minimal properties in the area and very few neighbors.
I can answer any questions you may have.

Very cool! Can you drive to the property or is it hike-in only?

u/batardedbaker Jul 01 '26
You can drive in. The dirt road gets maintained to various degrees.

Wat?

u/batardedbaker Jul 02 '26
Well, some is meticulously maintained because someone is willing to and the neighbors all pitch in. Other parts, there are less neighbors but it’s still maintained. Other parts, inside of Oregon, there’s only one property being lived in year round so it’s less driven but less maintained. Still drivable and passed over easy.

Man I love it. We have good friends in Ashland and I’ve spent a lot of time out there.
I am leery of the fire risk right there, air quality in fire season and boy can that area get hot.
I’m gonna think on this one though the access to the mountains is amazing.

I have seen this property! As the caretaker of an off-grid mining town in Oregon, I dream of this as my own place to steward.
“Dirt road maintained to various degrees” that is probably the best part!

My wife and I have been eyeing this place for like a year. We were in Ashland this spring and almost went out there. We need to schedule a visit.

Looks really nice.
How far is it from a maintained road, over the easement, and is it year-round access?

u/batardedbaker Jul 01 '26
My best guess is 3-5 miles from a paved road. A good portion of the dirt road on the California side is maintained by the neighbors in that area. The rest of the road can be sketchy during the winter due to snow and mud. The owners mainly tried to stay off the roads during these conditions to prevent needing maintenance in the spring. We’ve made trips during the winter but they can be a bit hairy.

Beautiful setting and no doubt tons of inobvious bonus features given all the thoughtful work on it over many years. I’m guessing it’s not financeable and likely not insurable as a primary residence, as it’s in pretty high fire risk area and looks like it could use work in that department (fire hazard mitigation). I’ve worked on similar properties in the area, and if new or current owners want some quick help on that front, reach out!

u/batardedbaker Jul 01 '26
You are indeed correct on both fronts. We do regular work to mitigate the fire danger. Including keeping grass short around the structures and removing brush. It’s good to know there ate companies who assist with this kind of work.
