Defendants appeal an order setting aside a, sheriff s sale that was held pursuant to a judgment foreclosing a mortgage on their property. They argue that the trial court had the authority to set aside the sheriffs sale only if the record contained evidence of mistake and that the trial court erred when it granted the ex parte motion to set aside the sheriffs sale. We hold that the order is not appealable and, therefore, dismiss the appeal.

The State of Oregon, on behalf of the Director of Veterans’ Affairs (state), filed this action to foreclose a mortgage on property described in the complaint as containing 3,777 acres. Before trial, the parties1 reached a settlement agreement, and the court entered a “Stipulated Judgment and Decree of Foreclosure.” The judgment describes only a small portion of the property described in the complaint. The notice of sale and all later pleadings used the property description in the judgment rather than that in the complaint.

The sheriff sold the property to state for $232,624.85, which was the full amount due. Before the sale was confirmed, state moved, ex parte, to set aside the sheriffs sale on the ground that the judgment and notice of sale incorrectly described the property. The court granted the motion on the same day. Defendants appeal from that order.

Under ORS 19.010(2) (c),2 an order must be final to be appealable. The final order in a case such as this is the one that confirms or disallows the sheriffs sale, not the one that sets it aside. ORS 23.490(2) and (4). As the court stated in Ensley-Koebel v. Nat. Guar. Prop., 279 Or 391, 395, 568 P2d 655 (1977): “[I]t would appear that the order setting aside the previous Sheriffs sale is not an appealable order * * *.”3

*761Defendants’ appeal is premature.

Appeal dismissed.
