T
he eastern Oregon ranch built by rock star John Fogerty on the banks of the Grande Ronde River has sold for its asking price of $1,950,000. The 274-acre property in Wallowa County was listed for just 13 days and received over 100 leads per day, resulting in multiple offers. The new owner plans to preserve the home, land, and history of the property.

    Fogerty built the single-level house with a vaulted ceiling in 1974 after Creedence Clearwater Revival broke up. The ranch home features vintage decor from the 1970s, including orange shag carpet and turquoise or mustard-colored tubs and toilets. Fogerty also added rustic touches like wagon-wheel chandeliers.

    The property includes a hidden stone stairway to a secret loft overlooking the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Two of the three bedrooms have lofts, and an attached garage serves as a gaming room. The previous owners, brothers Patrick and Michael Burns, used the property for family gatherings and rented it out as a vacation getaway.

    The new owner was drawn to the property after reading about it in The Oregonian/OregonLive's story on November 24. He drove over five hours to see the property and submitted an offer the next day that bested other offers. Listing broker Caleb Howard said the buyer plans to preserve the home, land, and history of the property, which he fell in love with due to its beauty and his passion for steelhead fishing.

    The property is located near the unincorporated community of Troy and has a short walk to the Wenaha Bar & Grill. It's also part of the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife's Sled Springs Hunting Unit, qualifying for landowner preference hunting tags.
