Nail Spring Ranch

A Legacy Estate in Oregon’s Langell Valley

Discover a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a true legacy estate in the American West. Nail Spring Ranch is a rare convergence of aviation access, luxury living, recreational scale, and private seclusion—spread across 1,417± deeded acres in Southern Oregon’s pristine Langell Valley. This trophy property offers a private, turnkey escape in one of the most beautiful and unspoiled regions of the Pacific Northwest.

A Property Built for Legacy and Lifestyle

At the heart of Nail Spring Ranch is a custom-built, architecturally significant main residence spanning 5,568± square feet. Designed to harmonize with its alpine-meadow surroundings, the home blends form and function—vaulted ceilings, panoramic windows, expansive decks, and natural materials frame a living experience that is elegant, warm, and deeply connected to the land.

Nearby, a purpose-built 12-bedroom, 12.5-bath guest house offers comfort and scale for extended family, personal guests, or potential future retreat use. With private suites, a full commercial-grade kitchen, central great room, and dining space, it’s perfect for hosting large gatherings, multigenerational living, or philanthropic endeavors. Importantly, the structure is positioned as a guest house, not a resort or commercial facility, preserving its status as a private-use residence.

FAA-Registered Private Airstrip and Aviation Infrastructure

What sets Nail Spring Ranch apart from nearly every other ranch property in the region is its aviation access. A 2,500-foot FAA-registered private-use runway allows for direct fly-in capability, connecting the property to West Coast destinations and beyond within hours. Whether you’re a private pilot or own a small aircraft fleet, this airstrip dramatically enhances accessibility and lifestyle.

Adjacent to the runway, an insulated aircraft hangar includes an attached pilot’s apartment, fitness center, and flexible use space for classroom, recreation, or operations. The airstrip is maintained, marked, and registered, but subject to monthly takeoff/landing limitations as required by current FAA and county standards—ensuring continued compatibility with land use regulations while preserving exclusive use for private aviation.

Trails, Terrain, and Unmatched Outdoor Access

From sagebrush flats to rocky outcrops and wild juniper ravines, Nail Spring Ranch offers a dynamic and diverse topography. Miles of internal trails and roads invite exploration by ATV, horseback, or hiking. Several natural ponds provide seasonal water features and serve as wildlife attractors. The property’s perimeter borders thousands of acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land, creating a vast, protected wilderness buffer with unmatched access to backcountry recreation, hunting, and solitude.

Whether you're a hunter, horseback rider, mountain biker, or conservationist, this ranch offers unspoiled natural beauty and rare freedom without compromising comfort.

Private Utilities and Sustainable Resources

Nail Spring Ranch operates independently with a private well system supplying water to the residences, ponds, and select pasture areas. The property is not enrolled in a local irrigation district but includes historical USBR lateral access. Its current use as a dryland grazing and recreational holding offers a low-maintenance, high-reward operational model.

There is no HOA, no CC&Rs, and no development pressure—offering complete autonomy for future owners to define their vision.

Regional Connectivity and Lifestyle

Though it feels remote, Nail Spring Ranch is well-connected. Located just east of the rural town of Bonanza, the property is approximately:

• 45 minutes to Klamath Falls (regional amenities)
• 2.5 hours to Medford (MFR – commercial air service)
• 3.5 hours to Bend (RDM – commercial air service)
• 4.5 hours to Reno (RNO – commercial air service)

Whether you’re arriving by road or air, the property is accessible year-round, with four-season usability and modern infrastructure ready for immediate enjoyment.

Nearby attractions include Crater Lake National Park, the Lava Beds National Monument, Upper Klamath Lake, and hundreds of thousands of acres of public land. With ample opportunity for hiking, wildlife viewing, fishing, upland bird hunting, and photography, the ranch offers an authentic Oregon lifestyle experience that rivals the West’s finest destinations.

A Category of Its Own

While many properties market themselves as “unique,” few can match Nail Spring Ranch in scale, infrastructure, aviation access, and lifestyle value. Trophy ranches with FAA-registered runways, guest lodging, multiple residences, and recreational access are exceedingly rare—not just in Oregon, but nationwide.

As of spring 2025, fewer than ten properties in the United States combine:

• 1,000+ deeded acres
• FAA-recognized private airstrip
• Luxury residential infrastructure
• Recreational and wildlife amenities
• BLM or public land adjacency
• Immediate livability with no deferred development

This places Nail Spring Ranch into a true trophy estate tier, sought by family offices, high-net-worth legacy buyers, and aviation lifestyle investors.
