Description
A rare legacy property on the Wallowa Mountain Loop Road, this handcrafted log home has been in the same family since it was built in 1961 by the award-winning, published Western writer Glenn R. Vernam, whose work was inspired by the very landscape surrounding it. The offering includes 112.78 total acres with 102.06 of mature, unharvested timber, untouched for more than 70 years located on the east side of the Loop Road, providing exceptional privacy, wildlife habitat, and long term resource value. On the west side of the road, the homesite encompasses 10.72 acres with the original log home, outbuildings, and Little Sheep Creek running directly through the property. The creek fronts the land and also fingers around the opposite side of the house, creating a serene, flowing backdrop that enhances the home’s rustic charm. The home carries the unmistakable character of its era—solid timber construction, wide-open gathering spaces, and the quiet authenticity of a life lived on “The Divide” and close to the mountains. Set on an expansive site with classic Wallowa County scenery in every direction, the property offers room to breathe, create, and reconnect. Mature trees, open sky, and the peeking views of the Wallowas frame the home, giving it the feel of a private retreat while still offering convenient access to Joseph, Enterprise, and the full Wallowa Mountain Loop. Inside, the home reflects decades of careful stewardship. Original log craftsmanship blends with thoughtful updates, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere perfect for year-round living or seasonal escape. Large windows bring in natural light and mountain views, while the generous layout provides flexibility for hosting, working, or simply enjoying the quiet. Properties with this kind of provenance—built by hand, rooted in local history, and preserved by one family for over 60 years—rarely come to market. This is a chance to own a true Wallowa County original.
