0.73 Acres on Turnstone Drive at Running Y Ranch Resort, Klamath Falls, OR. Paved Roads. Power, Water, Internet at the Resort. Arnold Palmer Golf Course. The Lodge. The Spa. Cash Price: $36,749 — Priced $2,251 Under the Same-Street Comp. ‍

You sold the house. Or you're about to.

Maybe the kids are out and the four bedrooms haven't been used in a decade. Maybe the property tax bill in California or Seattle or Portland hit a number that finally made the math undeniable. Maybe your spouse said the words I want to live somewhere quieter and you realized you'd been waiting for someone to say them first.

You priced it out. You ran the numbers. You looked at what the equity actually means once you cash it out — what it buys you in Klamath County or Bend or Boise or anywhere east of the Cascades — and you realized you can pay cash for a lot, build a modest custom home with the change, keep a healthy retirement reserve, and still have the option to keep a small apartment or condo in the city you left for visits with the grandkids.

You don't want a project that takes a decade. You don't want to homestead. You don't want to clear acres of brush to find a build pad. You want an open, build-ready lot in a real resort community where the road's already paved, the utilities are already at the lot, and the amenities you'll actually use — golf, fitness, restaurants, a spa, walking trails — are already built and waiting.

This is that lot.

0.73 acres on Turnstone Drive at Running Y Ranch Resort. Cash price: $36,749 — priced $2,251 under the same-street comp.

Picture a Wednesday two years from now.

The house you helped design is 1,400 square feet. The garage is 600. The total footprint is smaller than the primary bedroom of the house you sold. The whole build cost you a fraction of what your equity was worth, and the rest is sitting where retirement money is supposed to sit — earning, not maintaining a roof.

Wednesdays are golf. You walk out the front door, drive six minutes to the Arnold Palmer course, play eighteen, lunch at the lodge with the friends you've already made because the same dozen guys play Wednesdays. Your phone is in the cart. Your worries are not.

Some weeks you fly back to the old metro for a few days — a doctor appointment you don't trust to a new doctor yet, grandkids' birthdays, a college reunion. The regional airport is ten minutes from your driveway and connects you to Portland and San Francisco. You're back in time for the weekend.

Some summers, if you kept a small place in the old city, you split the year. Five months at Running Y. Six months somewhere else. One month wherever the rest of life takes you. The lot doesn't care. The community doesn't care. The HOA doesn't care. The lot exists whether you're on it or not, and the small modest house on it does too.

This is the version of the second chapter where you didn't have to choose between the city you love and the calm you finally need. You kept the option for both. You just shifted the balance.

The lot is where the shift starts.

0.73 acres on Turnstone Drive in Running Y Ranch Resort, Phase 12, Tract 1423, Lot 1020. Roughly 10 minutes from downtown Klamath Falls. An open lot — little to no tree coverage — which means a clean-slate build with no clearing costs, full sun exposure, and total design flexibility.

• Power and water are at the lot. Utilities are underground at Running Y; hook-up to the home is a standard, well-documented process.

• Internet: Internet has been at Running Y since the resort's earlier development phases. Confirm your current provider options for Phase 12 with the resort office before you sign — what's available evolves as the resort builds out.

• Paved roads. Year-round access. No gravel, no four-wheel-drive winter concerns.

• Klamath County property taxes: ~$190 a year.

• Running Y HOA: $482.31 per quarter ($1,929/year) — covers the Arnold Palmer golf course, the Sports and Fitness Center (indoor pool, sauna, weight room, pickleball, tennis), the spa, the resort lodge and restaurants, and miles of paved walking trails.

• Build covenants: Stick-frame custom build required. Manufactured homes are not allowed at Running Y, and the community character that follows from that covenant is part of what makes a 0.73-acre Running Y lot worth $36,749 instead of $7,749.

• The lot is in Phase 12 — a slightly newer phase than the more established Running Y core. Surrounding lots in this phase are filling in, not emptying out.

Here's what the address actually buys you.

Running Y Ranch Resort itself. Oregon's only Arnold Palmer–designed championship golf course, built into the high-desert landscape along the western shore of Upper Klamath Lake. The 82-room resort lodge. The Ruddy Duck restaurant. The Joyful Cafe. The Sandhill Spa. The Sports and Fitness Center with its indoor pool, sauna, weight room, and pickleball courts. Miles of paved walking trails that wind through the property. This is a resort that happens to also have homesites. The difference matters — and the same-street comp confirms the value. A 0.78-acre Running Y lot on Turnstone Drive (your same street) is currently listed by Fisher-Nicholson Realty at $39,000. Your lot is 0.73 acres at $36,749. Same street, smaller lot, lower price, owner-financing optional. The math is straightforward.

Klamath Falls. Ten minutes from your driveway. Population 22,000. A regional airport with daily flights to Portland and direct connections to San Francisco — which matters if you're keeping a place in the city you left or visiting grandkids in California. Sky Lakes Medical Center — a full-service regional hospital. A real downtown with restaurants and a Friday farmers market. A Walmart, a Home Depot, every practical thing.

Crater Lake National Park. 75 minutes north. The deepest lake in the United States, the bluest water you'll ever see in your life, 200,000 acres of protected wilderness. The kind of place where you take the grandkids when they visit for two weeks in July.

Klamath County itself. Three hundred sunny days a year — more sunshine than Phoenix — driven by the rain shadow east of the Cascades. Oregon has no sales tax. The whole region is filled with high-desert lakes, BLM land, ranches, and the quiet kind of small-city life that people who moved here from California, Seattle, and Portland tend to describe with the same phrase: I wish I'd done it ten years sooner.

You aren't moving to a region. You're moving to a position — close enough to airports and hospitals to be practical, far enough from urban noise to actually breathe.

The same-street comp is the why-now in one sentence: Fisher-Nicholson Realty has a 0.78-acre Turnstone Drive lot listed at $39,000. Yours is 0.73 acres at $36,749. When a comp is sitting on the open market $2,251 higher than your asking price, the value question answers itself.

Running Y Ranch Resort vacant lots are a finite inventory. The platting is complete. Build-outs continue every year. The lots that are available right now are the ones long-time owners finally listed because life moved on — and once they're gone, the next ones don't appear on a schedule.

You've spent thirty or forty years getting to the point where this is a check you can write. The lot has been on the planet the whole time. It's here now. It will not be here forever — and at this price, relative to the comp on the same street, it likely will not be here long.

This listing is priced for the cash buyer who's already run the comps. For the buyer who recognizes that resort land in the western United States is one of the few categories that genuinely keeps appreciating, and that buying at $2,251 under the active same-street comp is the kind of math that doesn't need a sales pitch.

Cash price: $36,749.

Write a single check, sign the closing paperwork, walk out with a Warranty Deed in your name, free and clear, the same day. No financing entanglements. No monthly anything to track. No prepayment math.

Owner financing is available if you'd prefer:

• $649 down (plus a one-time $250 document fee at signing)

• About $650 a month for 78 months — total commitment $51,744

• Monthly includes principal plus the prorated share of property tax (~$16/month) and the Running Y HOA pass-through (~$161/month). One payment covers it all.

• No credit check. No bank. No prepayment penalty.

• Pay it off any time and we'll execute and record a Warranty Deed in your name, free and clear.

Most buyers at this price point choose cash. The cash discount is meaningful — about $15,000 over the life of a financed note — and at this stage of life, most people would rather move on than pay something off for six and a half years.

If you cash-purchase, this section doesn't apply — you receive the Warranty Deed at closing and the lot is yours immediately.

If you owner-finance: during the payment period, the property is held in our name as the financing seller. You don't have access to camp, build, or use the lot during that time. The HOA's recreational benefits — the golf, the fitness center, the spa, the restaurants — belong to titled owners, and title transfers at payoff. We tell you this on the front page, not on page eleven, because we'd rather lose a sale than lose your trust.

What you do get during the payment period: a Promissory Note that lays out your price, your payment schedule, and your path to the deed at payoff. A fixed monthly payment that doesn't move when interest rates do. The right to pay it off whenever you want. A direct line to us — email or text anytime. We'll answer any questions you have on the Promissory Note before you sign it.

We're Dakota Skyhook — a small, family-owned land company based in Fargo, North Dakota, with thirty completed transactions in Klamath County and a real reputation to protect. We bought this lot because the resort is real, the comps are real, and the buyer for it exists.

We're not a high-volume flipper. We're not running paid ads against your zip code. We're not going to pressure you. We'll give you the lot, the data, the comps, and the contact info, and let you decide if it's the right move.

If you want to see the lot in person before you write the check, drive out — open subdivision, paved roads, easy to find on Turnstone Drive. If you want to talk through it, call. If you're ready to buy, the cash close is fast and clean.

Cash price: $36,749. Or about $650 a month for 6.5 years.

Call or text (701) 929-7781 to discuss the lot, the comps, or the close.

No banks, no credit check, no nonsense.
