0 Rice Creek Rd, Winston, OR 97496

100% off-grid living on your own 20-acre slice of paradise! Located within "The Ranch" - a close-knit homesteading community of like-minded landowners who each steward their own property while embracing a shared off-grid lifestyle. Just 25 minutes southwest of Winston, Oregon, this property is accessed via a gated 4-mile gravel road through BLM and private timberlands. The resilient home features a Schneider Electric solar system with new Dawnice 410Ah battery storage (Dec. 2024), Starlink internet, and propane + wood heat. You’ll love the vintage dual fuel wood/gas cookstove, EccoTemp tankless water heater, and blend of rustic charm with practical sustainability. Outside, enjoy a solar-powered well, spring-fed pond (with turtles!), and a year-round tributary to Thompson Creek. Native wildflower meadows burst with color each spring, reminiscent of a subalpine landscape - yet all at a mild 1,600' elevation ideal for year-round growing in USDA zones 8b–9a. Sit back on the covered front porch, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and soak in the quiet. This is more than a home - it’s a way of life. Call today to schedule your private tour!
