9.68-Acre Retreat with Panoramic Mountain Views and Workshop
What immediately defines 509 Derby Rd is the land: a 9.68-acre ridge parcel that opens to broad western and southern mountain vistas. Drive up a dirt-and-gravel lane to a well-maintained, two-story home that balances rustic character with recent practical upgrades—exterior paint, vinyl dual-pane windows, laminate flooring, and a ductless mini-split system for efficient year-round comfort.
Inside, the main level is intentionally simple and functional. An open living area centers on a certified wood stove that warms the space and anchors cozy evenings. The primary bedroom on the main floor includes an ensuite bath with a walk-in shower and a generous walk-in closet; nearby laundry facilities add convenience. Upstairs, a substantial loft with its own full bathroom and storage creates flexible space for guests, a home office, or hobby use.
Beyond the house, the property’s utility and livability stand out: a workshop with a half bath, full RV hookups on a separate septic system, and established garden areas that already support apple and peach trees. Topography on the parcel is sloped and offers multiple potential building sites or pasture pockets for small-scale agricultural use. The property is zoned WR (Woodland Resource), permitting residential, agricultural, and forestry uses—making it appealing to buyers seeking privacy and multiple use options.
This setting is rural but not remote: Eagle Point town center is roughly seven miles away, the Rogue River about five miles, and Eagle Point Golf Club approximately seven miles—so outdoor recreation is readily accessible. Practical considerations include private well water, a septic system, and seasonal road maintenance on the parcel’s access—all items buyers should verify during due diligence. For those wanting a quiet, functional country home with room to expand and immediate outdoor access, 509 Derby Rd offers a rare combination of acreage, views, and turn-key comforts.

Location
509 Derby Rd, Eagle Point, OR 97524
This property sits in the rolling hills outside Eagle Point, where rural acreage and forestry parcels define the landscape. The neighborhood offers a quiet, outdoors-oriented lifestyle with easy access to the Rogue River for fishing and recreation, and a short drive to town services in Eagle Point. Development is limited and population stable, creating a close-to-nature setting favored by buyers seeking privacy, room for animals or gardens, and recreational access without long commutes to Medford. Seasonal road and driveway care is typical in the area; verify local services and district assignments for schools and utilities.
Strong outdoor recreation access: Rogue River is roughly 5 miles away for fishing and river trails, Eagle Point Golf Club about 7 miles, and surrounding hills provide hiking and country roads for biking and running.
A factual market snapshot around 509 Derby Rd.
The local Southern Oregon rural market is currently balanced but quietly competitive for desirable acreage parcels. Jackson County figures show roughly 3.5 months of inventory and an average days on market near 60 days — a signal that well-priced, turnkey rural homes can move steadily but often slower than urban product. Median sale prices in the area are around $350,000, and the neighborhood has seen modest appreciation: about 5% year-over-year and roughly 25% over five years. Single-family homes on large lots—especially those with utilities, workshop space, and RV hookups—tend to outperform vacant acreage because they attract both lifestyle buyers and buyers seeking functional properties with immediate income or recreational use potential. For purchasers, the current market offers an opportunity: inventory is not excessive, so a prepared buyer with financing or cash and swift due diligence (well capacity, septic reports, and access maintenance terms) can secure acreage at reasonable comps. Sellers benefit from steady buyer interest, while buyers should expect somewhat longer marketing timelines than urban homes but a fair chance to negotiate when inspections reveal work needed on wells, septic, or access.
