A Rare Combination Near the City

Large-acreage view properties this close to a regional hub like Medford are increasingly hard to find. 6061 Hillcrest Rd delivers 18.75 contiguous acres in a single parcel in the foothills of East Medford, near upscale residential developments and in the Bear Creek watershed.

Land Characteristics

Elevated Hillcrest-area terrain delivers genuine valley views across the property. Specific soil composition, drainage, and vegetation were not detailed in available title records and should be confirmed through a site visit and county resources.

Water & Utilities

Domestic water source, septic system, and power service are not confirmed in available records. The property lies within the general service area of the Medford Irrigation District and Pacific Power (PacifiCorp); buyer to independently verify connection, capacity, and any attached water rights.

Access & Location

The property is accessed via a private, paved road with gated entry — this is not a drive-by property; viewings are by appointment through the listing broker only. A recorded right-of-way for ingress/egress is also on file (Deed Records of Jackson County, Volume 430, Page 194, Instrument No. 411353). The location places the property in the foothills of East Medford near upscale residential developments, minutes from shopping, medical services, and I-5, while retaining the character of a forest-resource-zoned rural holding.

Recreation & Lifestyle Potential

The scale, elevation, and valley views support a private rural homestead lifestyle, with the Rogue Valley's recreation base — skiing, fishing, rafting, and hiking — and Crater Lake National Park within reach.

Development & Investment Potential

The parcel is zoned County-OSR (Open Space Reserve), a forest-resource designation under Jackson County LDO Chapter 4 and Oregon's OAR 660-006. Permitted uses include forest operations, compatible farm uses, and a single-family dwelling, subject to a Type 2 county permit and forest fire siting standards. Under OAR 660-006-0026, the minimum lot size for further land division is 80 acres — meaning this 18.75-acre parcel cannot be further subdivided under current rules. Highest and best use is best framed as a rural view homestead or long-term land hold rather than a subdivision or commercial play; any change in use or zoning is subject to county approval and buyer due diligence.

Surrounding Area & Path of Progress

Situated in the foothills of East Medford's established upscale residential corridor, the property benefits from the Rogue Valley/Medford area's position as Southern Oregon's economic hub — anchored by healthcare, agriculture, and tourism, with access to the Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport and the I-5 corridor.
