There are 2 Options for Water:
Well Drilling and Spring Water (Can be Unpredictable): Results are mixed across the entire development on the availability for well water. Currently across the 890-Acre ranch, 2 of the tracts have producing wells, another 2 have shallow water hand-dug wells, 1 tract has a dry well, and 3 remaining tracts have above-ground flowing spring-fed water. There is the possibility for addition springs to run underneath the ground but where they are and if they produce can be unpredictable. The producing wells have ranged from 180' in depth to 540' in depth. The dry well is approximately 300' deep. See well reports and producers in our land report below.
Bulk Water Storage from Tonasket (Recommended): Both the Ace Hardware store and Lee Frank Mercantile Store in Tonasket offer solutions to purchase bulk water storage containers and options for pickup and delivery. This is a very affordable and sanitary approach for seasonal recreational usage compared with drilling a new well. 325 Gallon Tanks run ($400) and 2,500 Gallon thanks run ($1,500). Water is sold at an approximate rate of $651 per 500 Gallons (subject to change).
History of McLaughlin Canyon:
Just down the street from this property, you will drive past a lookout point in the canyon where a historical marker is placed. In July 1958, a group of Indians (upset by an increasing flow of miners heading for gold fields) lay in ambush through the length of the canyon. As 150 men led by David McLaughlin approached from the south, the warriors camouflaged their stone breastworks with branches. But their wilted leaves alerted McLaughlin's advance party so the Indians opened up prematurely. Firing continued for several hours near the mouth of the canyon. Three miners were killed. The caravan retreated to the Okanogan River and next day crossed over in rafts.
Ag Exemption:
40 acres land for sale in Okanogan, Washington benefits from an agricultural exemption with a small herd of cattle grazing the overall mountainside to keep the property taxes low and grass growth down to protect the land from wildfire risk.
Cell service:
Is excellent at the top of the mountain with good speeds from Verizon, At&T & T-Mobile enabling you to FaceTime off the bluff views. Service along the county road entrance and initial drive up the lower parts of the road is much more challenging. We recommend turning your GPS On before driving up

The Okanogan River was also well known to fur traders and other early non-Indian explorers in the early 1800s. In 1833.
Farms, Orchards, and a Town
Around 1900, the mining fever was cooling off and settlers began turning their eye to another kind of gold agricultural bottomlands. People began to realize that with the addition of irrigation water, the Okanogan Valley could be rich orchard land and farmland. In 1905, the Okanogan Irrigation Project was approved by the U.S. Department of the Interior, making it the first U.S. Reclamation Service project in the state. Contracts were let in 1906. Pioneer entrepreneurs began platting future town sites to serve what they envisioned as a bustling agricultural valley.

History
Okanogan is the county seat of Okanogan County in north-central Washington in the productive orchard lands of the Okanogan River Valley. This town site, on the west bank of the Okanogan River, was first settled in 1888 and was called Alma. In 1905, the town's name was changed to Pogue, in honor of a prominent citizen. In 1907 the town voted overwhelmingly to change the name to Okanogan, in order to better reflect its place on the Okanogan River and its proximity to the fledgling Okanogan Irrigation Project. Later in 1907, the town voted nearly unanimously to incorporate. The new town boomed along with the region's apple orchards and timber industry. In 1914, the Great Northern railroad arrived and Okanogan succeeded in a spirited campaign to wrest the county seat from Conconully. By 1930, Okanogan was overtaken in population by Omak, its neighbor five miles to the northeast. As of 2010, Okanogan's population was estimated at 2,500, a little more than half the size of Omak. Yet Okanogan remains the governmental hub of Okanogan County, and the original 1915 county courthouse still presides over the city.
Early Days
The site of Okanogan was used for thousands of years as a camping ground and fishing area by the Southern Okanogan Tribe, also known as the Sinkaietk or Uknaqinx, as well as by several other tribes of the mid-Columbia. Steelhead and salmon runs were plentiful on the Okanogan River.
The Okanogan River was also well known to fur traders and other early non-Indian explorers in the early 1800s. 1n 1833 the famed botanist David Douglas (1799-1834) camped at the mouth of a creek that was probably Salmon Creek, where the town is today.
Farms, Orchards, and a Town
However, by around 1900, the mining fever was cooling off and settlers began turning their eye to another kind of gold agricultural bottomlands. People began to realize that, with the addition of irrigation water, the Okanogan Valley could be rich orchard land and farmland. In 1905, the Okanogan Irrigation Project was approved by the U.S. Department of the Interior, making it the first U.S. Reclamation Service project in the state. Contracts were let in 1906. Pioneer entrepreneurs began platting future town sites to serve what they envisioned as a bustling agricultural valley

History
Oroville Established at the west end of the Okanogan Highlands as Oro in 1892 and renamed Oroville in 1909, this small community owes its name to its gold mining, panning and dredging history. The historic towns of Nighthawk, Molson, and Chesaw are nearby. Some gold is still extracted along the Similkameen River, which flows into Okanogan river; the nearby Buckhorn Mountain gold mine produces 123 thousands ounces of gold annually.
The local economy relies primarily on agriculture (apples, cherries, grapes and other fruit) sustained through irrigation. Farmers' markets, fruit stands, a brewery and three local wineries offer local home-grown products. The surrounding countryside of hills, mountains, rivers, lakes and forests hosts various fruit orchards, public lands and trails.

History
The Okanogan Valley has a rich history dating back thousands of years, serving as a vital camping ground and fishing area for the Southern Okanogan Tribe and other mid-Columbia tribes. Abundant steelhead and salmon runs in the Okanogan River sustained indigenous communities for generations.
During the early 1800s, the Okanogan River attracted fur traders and explorers, who recognized its importance in regional trade and exploration.
By the turn of the 20th century, as the mining boom subsided, settlers recognized the agricultural potential of the valley's bottomlands. With the promise of irrigation, the Okanogan Valley transformed into prime orchard and farmland. In 1905, the Okanogan Irrigation Project, the state's inaugural U.S. Reclamation Service endeavor, was approved by the U.S. Department of the Interior. Contracts followed in 1906, marking a pivotal moment in the region's agricultural history.
Pioneer entrepreneurs seized the opportunity, laying the groundwork for future town sites to support the burgeoning agricultural

History
The Lookout Ranch sits in the heart of the Okanogan Highlandsa region steeped in rich history and cultural significance. For centuries, the area was home to Native American tribes, particularly the Okanogan people, who used the valleys and highlands for seasonal hunting, fishing, and gathering. Aeneas Valley, just to the east, was historically a wintering ground due to its milder climate and abundant resources.
By the late 1800s and early 1900s, settlers and homesteaders arrived, drawn by the region's fertile grazing lands and timber resources. Many of these original homesteads, some still marked by old cabins and outbuildings, were established for cattle ranching and small-scale farmingtraditions that continue today. The property itself was once part of a larger cattle operation and has retained its ranching roots with infrastructure designed for livestock and off-grid living.
Over the years, the land has remained largely undeveloped, preserving its natural beauty and historic character, with panoramic views that have likely remained unchanged for generations. The combination of open rangeland, wooded groves, and natural springs gives a glimpse into the area's working heritage and unspoiled wilderness.

Region & Climate
History
History of the Okanogan Highlands
The Okanogan Highlands, located in north-central Washington State, have a rich and diverse history that spans thousands of years. This region's history is marked by its indigenous heritage, exploration, fur trading, mining, agriculture, and development into the unique area it is today.
Indigenous Peoples
Pre-European Contact:
The Okanogan Highlands were originally inhabited by Native American tribes, primarily the Southern Okanogan Tribe, also known as the Sinkaietk or Uknaqinx. These tribes were part of the larger Interior Salish group.
The indigenous peoples lived a semi-nomadic lifestyle, relying on hunting, fishing, and gathering. They made use of the abundant natural resources, including the Okanogan River, which was rich with salmon and steelhead.
Seasonal movements were common, with winter camps in the lower valleys and summer camps in the higher elevations to gather plants and berries and hunt game.
European Exploration and Fur Trade
Early 1800s:
European exploration of the region began in the early 19th century. The Okanogan River was well known to fur traders and early non-Indian explorers.
The North West Company, a Canadian fur trading enterprise, established Fort Okanogan at the confluence of the Okanogan and Columbia Rivers in 1811. This fort became a significant hub for trade between the indigenous populations and European traders.
In 1821, the Hudson's Bay Company took over operations and continued to expand the fur trade in the area.
Mining and Settlement
Mid to Late 1800s:
The discovery of gold in the mid-1800s brought prospectors to the Okanogan Highlands. Gold rushes in the surrounding areas, such as British Columbia's Fraser River and Cariboo regions, attracted miners who also explored the Okanogan for potential riches.
Although the region did not experience a massive gold rush like some other areas, mining for gold, silver, and other minerals became a significant part of the local economy.
By the late 1800s, as the mining boom started to decline, settlers began to realize the agricultural potential of the fertile valleys.
Agricultural Development
Early 1900s:
Around 1900, as the mining fever cooled, settlers turned their attention to agriculture. The Okanogan Valley, with its rich bottomlands, became known for its potential as orchard land and farmland, especially with the addition of irrigation.
In 1905, the U.S. Department of the Interior approved the Okanogan Irrigation Project, the first U.S. Reclamation Service project in Washington State. This project brought water to the arid region, transforming it into productive agricultural land.
Pioneer entrepreneurs platted townsites, leading to the development of communities like Tonasket, Oroville, and Omak.
Modern Development
20th Century to Present:
The region continued to grow, with agriculture (especially apple orchards) becoming a cornerstone of the local economy. Ranching also played a significant role.
The construction of highways and the development of transportation infrastructure improved access to the region.
In the latter half of the 20th century, tourism and recreation emerged as important economic activities. The natural beauty and recreational opportunities of the Okanogan Highlands attracted visitors for activities like hiking, hunting, fishing, and skiing.
The area's rich history and natural resources continue to shape its identity, making it a unique blend of cultural heritage and modern development.
The Okanogan Highlands' history is a tapestry woven from the threads of indigenous heritage, exploration, fur trading, mining, agriculture, and modern recreational development. This diverse history contributes to the region's unique character and enduring appeal.

Rio Vista Ranch. State of the art Equestrian facility or Potential Okanogan Winery location in Red Wine Country. Wineries from other regions use grapes from this area to produce award-winning, sun-ripened red wines. Property was originally used for raising Arabian horses . The property lies in the same valley between two distinct AVA'S in Canada and Chelan County, Complete irrigation system installed.
Land
The ranch is level in terrain with 1 full and 1 half pivot and wheel lines for the remainder of the irrigated ground. The climate and elevation make the property a perfect vineyard property if not being used for equestrian or other agricultural purposes.
For those who like to talk dirt.
The Okanagan Valley was once a huge glacier. The soils are mostly sandy with white clay-silt on top of gravelly glacial sands with limestone, granite and other gravels of ancient volcanic origin.
What does that actually mean? Well, if you were to sum them up, wines produced on these soils generally have high aromatic intensity, minerality, and more subtle tannins.
The region's location just under the 50th parallel means it has a short growing season. Grapes rapidly develop sweetness during the day but it's cold at night. This is a classic example of diurnal shift and is one of the reasons why Okanagan wines have mouth-zapping acidity.
Of course, ripeness levels can still get out of hand; we noticed volatile acidity in some winery programs.
As far as winemaking and viticulture goes, the Okanagan is still being figured out. Fortunately, Canada has a history of welcoming winemakers from all over, including places like New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, and France. The outside talent brings perspective and wine quality improves with each vintage.
For those moving towards organic and biodynamic wines, this area has good potential. The high winds, lack of phylloxera, and extreme seasons deter a lot of pests.
One clever technique commonly employed in Okanagan wine country is picking grapes at multiple points throughout harvest. Then, they're blended together to create a single, more balanced wine. Wines made with this method display both ripe flavors and high natural acidity.

The grass is a mix of fescues and bluegrass. and stays green in the valleys where the natural springs keep it moist all summer. Your cows will love all the forage to fatten them up and there is plenty of shade to keep them cool during the middle of the day.
This is a great place to raise live stock the pastures are sectioned off to help keep from over grazing. There is a contant water supply from the natural springs.
