Important Property Information

Buildability: This lot is not buildable as determined by the Malheur County planner and clerk. The reason is that there is no recorded legal access to the property. Prospective buyers are strongly advised to work with a title company to review the sale history and determine whether any approved easement exists or can be established.

Zoning – Exclusive Range Use (C-A2 / ERU): This is a rural resource and rangeland zoning designation primarily intended for agricultural and grazing uses. Residential development is subject to county requirements and approval — and cannot proceed until legal access is established.

Setbacks: Setbacks cannot be determined until legal access is first established.

Utilities: Neither water nor sewer is available. A well would need to be drilled and a septic system would need to be installed by the buyer.

Farm Animals: Allowed per zoning.

RV Living: Not applicable given current access and buildability status.

Impact Fees: None. HOA: None.
