Actor Patrick Duffy’s longtime southern Oregon residence along the Rogue River is for sale, with the main house and 327 acres listed at $10,995,000, and four smaller parcels, from two to 30 acres, to be sold separately.
The entire 383-acre estate outside of Eagle Point was for sale at $14 million in September 2022, and brokers Alan DeVries and Matthew Cook of Cascade Hasson Sotheby’s International Realty say they were “flooded” with interest by potential buyers as well as worldwide media. But there were no takers.
On Wednesday, DeVries introduced the new offerings.
The Duffy Ranch at 436 Staley Road is the largest, most significant listing, with 327 acres of land plus a 15-acre island in the Rogue River.
The ranch includes a 1950s lodge-style house with river-stone fireplaces and knotty pine walls under exposed beam ceilings, and an enclosed sunroom facing the water.
“They just don’t build them like this anymore,” says Portland interior designer Max Humphrey, who was asked by The Oregonian/OregonLive to look at the real estate photos.
He focused on the “cowboy-cool” porch balusters, board-and-batten exterior and other vintage features.
“You can see the authenticity between the walls; this is more than a house — it’s a whole lifestyle,” says Humphrey, whose latest book, “Lodge: An Indoorsy Tour of America’s National Parks,” encourages elements of the cozy lodge decor at home.
Humphrey says an owner can respect the charm and architecture of the Duffy Ranch house without being limited by it. He suggests having midcentury furnishings, common at the time the house was built, which still look fresh today.
“But don’t touch the scallop-shaped wood cornice boxes and keep your electrician away from the light-free ceilings,” he says.
An antique wood-fired kitchen range made in South Bend, Indiana, and some of the other materials in the house were rescued from the original, dilapidated homestead after Duffy bought the property in 1990.
The once rusty range has been restored and converted to use propane. It is the centerpiece of the kitchen, says Duffy in a real estate video.
Duffy added a wing to the house with a high-ceilinged art gallery and a primary suite. A detached building with a series of sliding glass doors shelters an indoor swimming pool.
The main ranch, with nine tax lots that can be sold separately, also has two riverfront homes, two detached guest cottages, a manufactured home and three barns. One of Duffy’s sons was married in a barn with a river view.
“There are several different worlds on the property,” says Duffy in the video, as he moves from pastoral to forest to waterfront areas. He said the natural environment, which he has kept undeveloped, has a feeling that can’t be invented but can be understood in any language.
This property “just needs another set of ears and another heart to come in and understand it,” he says in the video.
There are two additional homesites and 80 acres zoned Rural Residential Zone 5 that can be divided.
In addition to two miles of river frontage, the ranch has a two-acre bass-stocked pond and 110 acres of water rights from the Rogue River.
“Amazing views, abundant wildlife” like an elk herd, turkeys and black-tail deer, says DeVries of the property he’s marketing as a “true generational sanctuary” 16 miles from the Rogue Valley International Airport.
