2.3 acres of tall timber up near Bly Mountain Pass, off the grid and made for getting away. A base camp for the hunter, the side by side rider, the person who would rather be in the trees than anywhere else. $139 a month, no bank, no credit check, and a Warranty Deed in your name at payoff. This is raw, wild Oregon, and it can be yours for about what you spend on gas in a month.

The Land, and Why I Wrote You About This One

Let me be straight with you from the first line, because this lot is not for everybody, and the right person will know it by the end of this paragraph. This is 2.3 acres of heavily treed, off grid ground in the high country east of Klamath Falls, up where Highway 140 climbs over Bly Mountain Pass. It is not a manicured homesite in a tidy subdivision. It is a wild, wooded piece of the Oregon backcountry, the kind of place you set up a camp, point the side by side at the tree line, and disappear for a weekend.

Here is what you would be getting. A single parcel in Klamath Falls Forest Estates, Block 76, Lot 6, on Yak Lane, 2.3 acres of standing pine in the forested uplands at around 5,000 feet. It is heavily timbered, lodgepole and ponderosa pine, the kind of cover that gives you shade, privacy, firewood, and the feel of having the woods to yourself. The land runs downhill to the north and opens up as it goes, getting wider toward the bottom, so you have room to spread out, park the trailer, set the tents, and still keep the camp and the fire well back in the trees.

And it is easy country to reach. Highway 140, the paved Klamath Falls to Lakeview highway, runs along the bottom of the place, so you are not bouncing forty minutes down a washboard forest road to get here. You roll out of Klamath Falls on good pavement, about 30 miles, and you are at your own gate. Deep woods seclusion that is still an easy drive off a state highway is harder to find than you would think, and it is a big part of why I wanted you to see this one.

The Numbers, Plain and Simple

Here is how you would own it, and there are no tricks hidden in this part. You put $139 down and a one time $250 document fee. Then you pay $139 a month. That monthly is all in for what this land carries, which means your Klamath County property taxes are already folded into the payment. There is no HOA here, so there are no dues on top of it. No balloon at the end. No rate that moves on you. It is a payment you do not even feel, and it stays exactly that until the land is yours.

I will be straight with you about the term. This one runs 120 months, a ten year note, and I set it up that way on purpose so the payment could sit down low at $139 a month on better than two acres. That is the trade, a small payment for a longer run. You can always pay it down faster if you want to own it sooner, and if you would rather not wait, cash is $9,900 and the deed transfers to you at closing.

No bank. No mortgage. No credit check. I am not pulling your credit, and I am not asking a loan officer for permission to sell you a piece of dirt. You sign from your own kitchen table, the payments run automatically, and when the last one clears I file a Warranty Deed putting the land in your name. A Warranty Deed is the highest level of deed there is in Oregon, the same kind you would get buying a house through a title company. Either way, every terms purchase carries a 120 day money back guarantee. Change your mind in the first 120 days and you get your principal back. It is the longest such guarantee I know of in owner financed land.

What You Can Do While You Pay

While you are paying it off, you hold a recreational license to come out and enjoy the land. You can drive out, walk the parcel, scout it, and camp on it up to 21 days in any six month stretch, which is what Klamath County allows on private ground, with a permit only if you stay more than a week at a time. That is plenty for a hunting season, a string of summer weekends, or a shakedown trip with the side by side. All around you is the Fremont Winema National Forest, so the riding, the hunting, and the exploring run far past your own property line.

Now the honest part. You do not put up a permanent dwelling or move in full time until the land is paid off. You can camp it, you cannot live on it full time in an RV under county rules, and a cabin or a home comes at payoff, the day that deed records in your name. On a ten year note that is a real wait, so go in clear eyed. If your plan is to set a cabin or a manufactured home sooner, pay cash and take the deed at closing, or pay the note down fast. If your plan is to lock in a treed base camp cheap now and build the cabin down the road, the low payment is built for exactly that.

The Lay of the Land, and the Off Grid Setup

Let me walk you across it the way I would if we were standing on it. You come in off Yak Lane at the top, on the south side. That entrance is steep, and I am not going to pretend otherwise, it is the one real piece of work this lot needs, and I cover it plainly in the sugarcoat section below. Once you are in, the ground falls away to the north and widens as it drops, so the usable, spread out room is below the entrance, down in the trees. At the very bottom the land meets Highway 140, which is what makes it easy to reach but means the lowest strip is near the road. The sweet spot for a quiet camp or a cabin is up in the timber, off the highway and tucked in the pines.

And I want to be plain that this is an off grid property. There is no power, water, or internet run to the lot. For some buyers that is a dealbreaker, and if it is for you, that is good to know now. But for a lot of the people this land is made for, off grid is the whole appeal. You set up solar or run a generator, you haul water or put in a tank, and you get a piece of ground with nobody looking over your shoulder and no monthly utility bills. The zoning allows a site built, manufactured, or mobile home with no time limit to build, so the rules are on your side when you are ready. There is a manufactured home on the property next door, so you can see for yourself it can be done.

The Country Around You

The land is the start of it, not the whole of it. Just over the pass to the east, Highway 140 drops down alongside the Sprague River, one of the well known trout streams of this part of Oregon and a short drive from the lot, a slow, winding river with good fishing and a lot fewer people on it than the famous tailwaters. The Sycan and the world famous Williamson run through the country nearby too.

This is real hunting country, which is a big part of what a base camp out here is for. The forest around Bly Mountain and the open range to the east hold mule deer and elk in the timber and pronghorn antelope out toward the sage. The Fremont Winema National Forest wraps the whole area, thousands of acres of public land for hunting, dispersed camping, and forest roads that run for miles, the kind of network a side by side could ride all summer. Down the hill toward Klamath Falls runs the OC and E Woods Line State Trail, the longest linear state park in Oregon, a 100 mile rail trail on the old railroad bed from Klamath Falls out to Bly, good for biking and taking it all in. And Crater Lake National Park, the deepest lake in the country at nearly 2,000 feet, sits a bit over an hour to the north.

For the day to day, the little town of Bonanza is the closest, about fifteen minutes off, with a store, a gas pump, and a post office. Klamath Falls is the real town, about 30 miles and 35 to 40 minutes west on the highway in good weather, a working small city with a hospital, grocery and hardware stores, a regional airport, and Oregon Tech. They call it Oregon's City of Sunshine, and there is truth in it, this side of the mountains trades the gray of western Oregon for a lot of clear, bright, blue sky days.

One honest word on the seasons. Sitting up around 5,000 feet near the pass, this country gets real winter, often snow from October into April or even May, and Highway 140 over Bly Mountain Pass can be snowy or icy in the cold months. For most buyers this is a warm season and hunting season camp, with winter trips for those set up for the snow.

Two Things I Will Not Sugarcoat

You hear nothing but straight talk from me, so here are the two I make sure every buyer hears on this one.

First, the entrance is steep. You come in off Yak Lane at the top of the parcel, and that grade will need an approach cut to drive in cleanly, likely with a switchback, maybe two, to work for a truck and trailer. That is the real work this lot asks of you, and it is the main reason the price is what it is. For somebody handy, or willing to bring in a small dozer or hire it done, it is a solvable problem and a fair trade for two and a third treed acres this cheap. If you are not up for any earthwork, this is probably not your lot.

Second, it is off grid and the bottom runs to the highway. No power, water, or internet at the lot, so you bring your own, and the lower edge meets Highway 140, which is what makes it easy to reach but means the quiet, tucked in camping is up in the timber, not down by the road. None of that is hidden. It is exactly what you are buying.

And one more honest word. This is land, not an investment promise. I will not tell you it is going to make you money or shoot up in value, because I do not know that and nobody honest does. What it is worth to you is the camp, the hunt, the ride, and the quiet, not a number on a chart.

The Deed, the Guarantee, and Who You Are Dealing With

When the last payment clears, I file a Warranty Deed putting Klamath Falls Forest Estates, Block 76, Lot 6 in your name, the highest level of deed available in Oregon, with me standing behind clear title. From that day the land is yours, free and clear, to camp, build a cabin, set a home, or hold as you please within the county rules. And the whole terms purchase is backed by that 120 day money back guarantee, in writing, so you never have to take my word for it.

You will be talking to me, Jay, not a call center and not a salesman working off a script. I find good, raw land in Klamath County, Oregon and sell it to regular people on simple, honest terms, no bank, no credit check, with the highest deed Oregon offers waiting at the end. I would rather lose a sale than have somebody buy the wrong piece of ground from me, which is why I tell you the hard parts up front and back every terms deal with that guarantee.

Location and Directions

Bonanza, OR 97623, in Klamath Falls Forest Estates up on Bly Mountain. Coordinates: 42.365527, -121.394976.‍ ‍

From Klamath Falls, head east on OR-140, the Klamath Falls to Lakeview Highway, toward Lakeview. Stay on 140 through Olene and Dairy and climb up Bly Mountain, roughly 22 to 24 miles from town. The Klamath Falls Forest Estates Unit 4 lots sit on both sides of 140 near the top, and E Yak Lane is in the north section of the unit, reached off Kingfisher Drive. Turn north off 140 into the unit and follow the subdivision roads over to E Yak Lane and the lot. Figure about 30 miles and 35 to 40 minutes total in good weather.

The last stretch inside the subdivision is a grid of small, thinly signed roads, so the surest way in is to drop the coordinates above into your maps app and follow the pin for the final turns. In winter the road association plows the main access roads, but Yak Lane itself can be snowed in.

What to Do Next

So picture it. Your own gate off the highway, the truck and the trailer pulled up in the pines, the side by side warmed up, a fire and a camp back in the trees, and better than two acres of Oregon timber that belong to you. The land is what you buy. The hunts, the rides, and the long quiet evenings under the trees are the reason.

If you want it, you can reserve it to hold the parcel in your name. If you would rather talk it through first, reach out and we will, no pressure either way, and I will give you the straight story on the entrance and everything else. Call or text me, Jay, at 701-929-7781, or email sales@dakotaskyhook.com. Tell me you are asking about the treed acres on Yak Lane up by Bly Mountain Pass, and I will walk you through every bit of it.
