Leonard Place

This property was homesteaded in the mid 1800's by Hugh Leeper Brown one of the original pioneers of the Calapooya River Valley. He was one of the founding members and the namesake for the town of Brownsville. The barn he built in 1849 is one of the oldest still standing in the Willamette Valley and is on the National Register of Historic Places, the "Hugh Leeper Brown Barn." This 178 acre farm is located one mile East of the town of Brownsville. This farm is comprised primarily of type 1 & 2 soils. The property is tiled for proper drainage to create productive, resilient, and sustainable crop production. It has been planted to Kentucky 31 tall fescue with the first harvest to be in 2025. It is currently under a lease, but can be negotiable. It is not unusual to see blacktail deer, turkey, and the occasional Roosevelt Elk.Listing agent is related to the seller.
