The Historical United States Hotel in Jacksonville Oregonmay be for sale in the near future. One of Jacksonville's oldest historical buildings could be up for sale within 3 months. The Southern Oregon Historical Society (SOHS) has proposed selling the United States Hotel on California St. in Jacksonville Oregon, in hopes that Jackson County will give the Southern Oregon Historical Society a cut of the profit. Jackson County owns the 100+ year old building, which is leased and maintained by the SOHS.

Earlier this month, SOHS, which is struggling financially, proposed moving out of Jacksonville and consolidating its operation in a building it owns in Medford, Oregon. If the county agrees to sell the hotel, it could be auctioned off within three months. The picture above features Quilts on display at The Historical United States Hotel in Jacksonville, Oregon.

The U.S. Hotel was built around 1880, and today houses office space and a bank on the ground floor. The upstairs Ballroom is available to rent for weddings, reunions, retreats and private parties. It features a large space for events such as weddings and class reunions, as well as a smaller room with an antique bar and large table for meetings.

Perhaps you could be the future owner of The Historical United States Hotel in Jacksonville Oregon!

Jacksonville, Oregon is Voted One of America's Top 10 Coolest Small Towns! Just across the border from California, the old gold-rush town of Jacksonville, Oregon is getting its second wind from liquid gold. With 17 wineries located in the surrounding Applegate Valley, and a climate that's ripe for growing multiple types of grapes, Jacksonville, Oregon is a refuge from the tourist whirl of Napa.

Herb Quady is among the residents integral to the burgeoning scene. Quady, whose father, Andrew, produces dessert wines at Quady Winery in Madera, Calif., opened the Quady North tasting room in April (255 California St., quadynorth.com). "There isn't anyplace in California that's nearly as cute," Quady explains of his move. "We're all about the bucolic southern Oregon life." The best way to tap in is at South Stage Cellars, which stocks bottles from nine area wineries (125 S. 3rd St., southstagecellars.com). The Garden Bistro at the five-room McCully House Inn & Cottages showcases local growers of a different sort, with food products from 27 area purveyors, including cheese from the goats at nearby Pholia Farm (240 E. California St., mccullyhouseinn.com, rooms from $135). The lifestyle drew Constance and David Jesser, a chef and a commodities trader, respectively, from Sonoma five years ago to open Jacksonville Mercantile, where the shelves are filled with provisions like black-truffle-roasted almonds, meant to pair perfectly with a bottle of Quady North viognier (120 E. California St., jacksonvillemercantile.com).

In the last two days, the latest foreclosures to be listed for sale are in Central Point.

*One located on Ester Way and looks like a good bargain. A little over 25oo square feet on 1.78 acres. The house was built in 2001 and currently appears to be owned by Wells Fargo. The price on this house is $299,900. This is a rural piece on a well, but also on RVS sewer.

*The other new bank owned property in Central Point is on Bush street. It is under 750 square feet, and looks a little rough. But it is priced just below $100k at $99,900.

I have not been out to see these properties yet because they are so new. If you or someone you know want to take a look at them, I would love to go out and be surprised, or horrified with you. When looking at Foreclosed properties, you never know what you are going to find. Every once in awhile they are in good shape, but more often than not, there is a lot of work that needs to be done.

*Information provided by SOMLS and is deemed to be reliable, but not guaranteed.
