It may be too late to own rock star John Fogerty’s former eastern Oregon ranch. An offer for the rustically cool house on 274 acres in Wallowa County was accepted after 13 days on the market.

The asking price: $1,950,000.

California born and raised Fogerty, now 79, discovered the remote land on the banks of the Grande Ronde River near the unincorporated community of Troy in the 1970s while elk hunting.

He helped build the single-level, vaulted ceiling house that was completed in 1974, two years after Creedence Clearwater Revival, the successful band he formed with his older brother Tom and others, broke up. Singer, guitarist and songwriter John Fogerty then started a solo career.

Most of the ranch home’s 1,698 square feet of living space is a time capsule of 1970s decor — vintage orange shag carpet and the two bathrooms have either a turquoise or dark mustard colored tub, sink and toilet.

There are also rustic touches like wagon-wheel chandeliers. Steel plates connecting the exposed ceiling beams were made by Fogerty, who modeled them after gussets used in an old sawmill.

Behind the rock fireplace is a hidden stone stairway to a secret loft overlooking the open living room, dining room and kitchen. Two of the three bedrooms also have lofts. Some appliances and the heating-cooling system have been updated.

Fogerty owned the property for almost three decades.

A canoe left behind by Fogerty, who sold the property in 2002 to brothers Patrick and Michael Burns, was hoisted into the open rafters in the living room to be on display. The Burnses used the property for family gatherings and rented it out as a vacation getaway.

An attached one-car garage is used as a gaming room and a 1,500-foot-long grass runway allowed Fogerty’s pilot and later the Burnses to land a small plane.

Lore also comes with the house. The ranch is a short stomp to the Wenaha Bar & Grill in Troy. The bar is famous for Fogerty’s hours-long impromptu jam sessions. Word would get out, local musicians would join in and the honky-tonk and rock hootenannies would go on well into the night.

Fogerty’s “Born on the Bayou,” “Proud Mary” and other hit songs are a blend of rockabilly, country, funk and swamp blues, with lyrics evoking Southern settings and tales.

The Burns brothers, retired commercial fishermen who live in Washington state, own other ranch properties and founded Alaska-based Blue North Fisheries, one of largest Pacific cod harvesters in the country.

They listed the property Nov. 12 and accepted an offer Nov. 25.

The Burnses’ Grande Ronde Lodge and Cattle Ranch is being marketed as Fogerty Ranch by listing broker Caleb Howard of the LandLeader real estate network.

Howard told The Oregonian/OregonLive that Fogerty Ranch is an investment that will interest a wide range of buyers. In addition to having a famous first owner of a well-built home, the land has income opportunities and 1.5 miles along the Grande Ronde River.

“The ideal buyer is an outdoorsman wanting to utilize both the property and surrounding area for the fishing, hunting, hiking, rafting and other outdoor activities while enjoying the remoteness this getaway offers,” Howard said.

The property is in Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife’s Sled Springs Hunting Unit and qualifies for landowner preference hunting tags, said Howard, who added, “all prospective buyers must be prequalified prior to entry.”
