Hanover Investment has been discussing a purchase price of $3 million to $4 million. Clauson said the company has explored forming a partnership to purchase and develop the property. The state Land Conservation and Development Commission has not acknowledged a zoning plan for the ranch.

Wasco County has postponed submitting a plan, until the property is sold. The state land-use agency wants the county to submit a plan for the ranch by April 30.

Clauson said the ranch "would seem to have some very substantial potential as a low-cost resort." He estimated that Hanover has about $500,000 tied up in the property, including options, a deposit and costs for engineering and other professional services. He said the company should know within the next month whether it will complete the transaction.

Hanover Investment isn't the only company looking at the property. A representative of Washington the Missoula, Mont. -based company owned by entrepreneur Dennis 1988 for $495,000, now includes a wood shop business, Carr said. Sandra Gazeley, a consultant hired by the city, said the site needs a lot of work. There are some foundations and old roadbeds that may have value for rebuilding.
