Property Description

7.85-acre EFU parcel with rare Measure 49 home site authorization — one of the most valuable entitlements on Willamette Valley farmland. Build your dream home on this private rural property outside Dallas, OR, with the hard work already done: A confirmed available water meter through Rickreall Community Water Association eliminates one of the biggest hurdles buyers face on bare land. Features a permitted 1,152 sq ft farm building, 265 ft of road frontage, and sweeping territorial views. Farm-deferred taxes. Oregon's EFU zoning is among the most restrictive in the country — the vast majority of farmland parcels cannot be built on at all. This property is the exception. A Measure 49 Home Site Authorization (DLCD Final Order E132862, issued June 2010) grants the right to establish one dwelling on this 7.85-acre parcel, a right that runs with the land and transfers to the new owner. That single entitlement separates this listing from dozens of bare EFU acres in Polk County that will never see a foundation poured.The land itself is a genuine working farm candidate. Two soil classifications — 2.90 acres of B4 and 4.95 acres of H3 — offer a productive mix suited to hay production, hobby farming, livestock, or simply holding Willamette Valley ground at a competitive price point. The property currently carries farm deferral status, keeping tax liability low for a buyer who continues agricultural use.Infrastructure is already in motion. A 1,152 sq ft general-purpose farm building sits on site, permitted in 2020, wired for farm use, and ready for equipment storage, workshop, or conversion. Electricity is available at the road. A confirmed available meter through Rickreall Community Water Association means municipal water access is within reach — one less unknown for a buyer planning a build. The property is partially fenced with 265 feet of Ellendale Avenue frontage, offering clean, paved county road access minutes from Dallas and Highway 22.Septic approval has not yet been obtained, giving a motivated buyer the opportunity to site a system to their own specifications. No flood plain impact.
