Welcome to Weather-Bee Farms, a well cared for Northwest style log home and true working homestead set along Thompson Creek in the Applegate Valley.

History

The name Weather Bee Farms is a tribute to the original developers of the property, the Weatherby family, whose legacy is deeply rooted in both the land and the broader outdoor community. The Weatherby name is widely recognized as the founder of Weatherby Firearms, a world renowned sporting firearms company known for craftsmanship, performance, and a strong connection to the outdoors

Residence

The residence is a warm and inviting Northwest style log home offering approximately 2,464 square feet with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Built in 1981, the home reflects a timeless rustic character with classic log construction, natural wood finishes, and a layout that feels both comfortable and functional for everyday living. The main level is centered around an open concept great room, dining area, and kitchen with vaulted ceilings and generous windows that bring in natural light and frame the surrounding landscape. The kitchen is well equipped with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a 48 inch propane cooktop, double oven, raised bar seating, and a walk in pantry. Two bedrooms, a full bath, laundry area, storage room, and access to the attached oversized three car garage are all located on the main level for convenience. Upstairs is a loft space and the private master suite that includes a comfortable bedroom, walk in closet, and a ensuite bath with double vanity, jetted tub, and tile shower. Additional features include forced air heating and central air on the main level, a mini split serving the upper level, a wood stove for added warmth and ambiance, wood casement windows, wood doors, and a large rear deck overlooking the creek and natural setting.

Land and Water

The 9.74 acre parcel is impeccably maintained and thoughtfully laid out, with wonderful landscaping that complements the natural beauty of the setting. Gently rolling terrain offers a desirable mix of open ground and usable pasture, while Thompson Creek runs through the property and sits just steps from the back door of the home, creating a rare and inviting creekfront setting. Irrigation rights support agricultural use, and the property’s soils are a quality loam. A private well provides domestic water, and the existing infrastructure supports both comfortable rural living and small scale agricultural use.

True Homestead

Weather Bee Farms is well established as a true working homestead, thoughtfully set up for those looking to live more independently. The fenced garden area, measuring approximately 75 by 75 feet, has been organically farmed and carefully maintained. A cold frame greenhouse extends the growing season, while the established fruit trees and perennial plantings add both beauty and long term productivity. Permanent plantings include apple trees such as Granny Smith and Fuji, pear and Asian pear, walnuts, raspberries, currants, gooseberries, strawberries, table grapes, elderberries, rhubarb, and asparagus. The layout of the property supports a natural flow between the home, garden, and pasture.

Outbuildings & Improvements

The property is well suited for a variety of uses, with a barn, chicken coop, greenhouse, firewood shelter, covered RV carport, round pen and turnout areas already in place. Full perimeter fencing with some cross fencing supports animals. This level of infrastructure is well suited for everything from a hobby farm with a few cows to horses, small livestock, and an active homestead setup.

Location

Situated in the Applegate Valley, the property offers convenient access to a wide range of outdoor recreation, including nearby public lands, the Applegate River, and Applegate Lake. The Applegate Valley wine trail is just minutes away, along with local farms and community gathering spots. Positioned between Grants Pass and Jacksonville, the location provides both accessibility and a sense of retreat. The area is known for its scenic beauty, slower pace, and strong connection to the outdoors, making it a desirable place to call home.
