Ione Property

Description

Incorporated in 1903, Ione, OR serves as the mid-point between the rolling Columbia River and the beautiful Blue Mountains. At the town’s busiest point, the town has not exceeded a population base of much more than 330 people but has always been an important piece of life for the hundreds of ranchers and farmers that surround the tiny town.  Today, the town hosts a small grocery store, fuel stop, and is home to an award-winning K-12 charter school.

The Ione Property has a well-built brick home constructed in 1949 and is approximately 3,950 sq. ft.  It has been updated many times over the years, but most recently in 2019 with a full kitchen update.  It is a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home with a finished basement.  The three bedrooms on the main floor all have walk-in closets. The home has two fireplaces with another brick fireplace on the generous patio. There is a breezeway to the detached 2-car garage, a paved approach, and horseshoe driveway.  The inside of the house is immaculate with the outside landscaping even more impressive. Lots of trees provide full-day shade.  Well-maintained shrubs and sidewalks are just a few attributes that can be found as you walk around the yard area which has an underground sprinkler system.  The legacy of raising children can be seen in all directions with a basketball hoop on the garage, a school quality swing and slide in the backyard, and a nice grass pasture for family animals.  A large natural rock water fountain gives off the sound of an easy-flowing stream and sits adjacent to the large patio, providing the perfect ambiance to watch the sunset to the west. The home was designed with incredible storage and efficiency in mind. 
Outbuildings
The entirety of the property is fenced and cross-fenced with a clean-looking white wood fence. Behind the house sits an approximately half-acre graveled barn-lot area.  There are three supporting outbuildings organized along the southwest boundary and includes open-aired equipment storage metal buildings, a shop with a concrete floor, and self-fuel storage.  Out in the approximately one-acre pasture area sits a well-built brick horse barn with three stalls and room for tack and hay storage.  The property served as headquarters for a large dry-land wheat operation for years which explains all the great amenities.
Water/Power
The Ione house and yard is served by Ione city water. A domestic well furnishes water to the barn and shops. The power company is Columbia Basin Co-op based out of Heppner, OR. Seller does not warrant any irrigating water-rights tied to the property.
Location
The Ione Property is located approximately 35 min from Hermiston, OR which carries a population base of around 30,000.  Just 70 miles away is the Pasco Airport, the third busiest airport in the state of Washington.  It is served by major airlines including Delta, United, Alaska, and American with direct routes to Seattle, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Denver, Phoenix, Minneapolis, and Las Vegas.  Conversely, the property is just a quick 45-minute drive to a national forest and seclusion with endless recreation options. The Columbia River is just 20 miles away and provides an amazing opportunity for fresh water adventures with boating, fishing, and all the fun associated with large-lake type recreation.
