The Center of Oregon Isn’t a Town. It’s the Bonnieview Ranch. And It Just Hit the Market for $20M. There are landscapes that stop you not with theatrics, but with a sense of quiet certainty. Bonnieview Ranch is one of those places. The experience often begins with a short walk into open pasture, where a weathered metal disk rests in a small concrete block. It is an old survey marker, modest in size, unadvertised, unadorned. Yet it signifies something extraordinary. This is the point many believe to be the geographic center of Oregon. A place where the map seems to balance, where the sky widens, and where the land stretches in a perfect, uninterrupted circle around you. Bonnieview Ranch is one of the largest private ranch offerings in Central Oregon, known for decades as a proven big game hunting property, a productive working cattle ranch, and a rare recreational retreat with unmatched privacy. The ranch includes 18,754 deeded acres plus about 7,200 acres of forest and BLM grazing allotments, creating a massive and continuous landscape ideal for livestock, wildlife, and year-round outdoor use. Location and Access The ranch headquarters sit just off Highway 380, making cattle shipping, equipment transport, and supply runs simple even in winter. The property lies in the heart of Oregon ranch country with quick access to Prineville, and easy travel to Bend and Redmond Airport. It's considered by locals to be the exact center of Oregon. Topography and Habitat The land rises from 3,300 feet near the Crooked River to more than 5,200 feet across the northern ridge. This shift in elevation creates a mix of terrain that Central Oregon ranch buyers and hunters seek. The landscape includes: • Productive bunchgrass hillsides with bluegrass, bluebunch wheatgrass, and Idaho fescue • Abundant sagebrush and bitterbrush winter feed • Lush riparian areas, creek bottoms, and wet meadows • Rock outcrops, cliffs, and high mountain patches • Over 50 springs and ponds across the ranch • A 35 acre reservoir used for irrigation, livestock water, and recreation This blend supports healthy populations of mule deer, Rocky Mountain elk, and pronghorn antelope, along with strong upland bird and waterfowl numbers.
