Property Description

Waite Creek Woodlands is a versatile and productive forestland property perfectly situated between the Oregon Coast and the Willamette Valley. Boasting easy access directly off Highway 126, this acreage offers a unique blend of immediate timber value, short and long-term growth, and exceptional recreational appeal. It is a managed forest with a staggered age class, providing both current and future financial potential: Merchantable Timber: Approximately 5 acres of majestic, tall Douglas-fir ready for harvest or preserve for conservation. Pre-Merch: 19 acres of 35-year-old Doug-fir. Future Value: 6 acres of well-stocked 5-year Doug-fir. The land features a dynamic landscape that transitions from dramatic, steep ridges along the highway to gentle sloping forested hills. At the heart of the property, you'll find level water frontage along Waite Creek, offering a serene riparian environment. Enjoy views of the Siuslaw River directly across the street with awesome summertime swimming holes. Drift boats are seen often in the river during the fall and winter steelhead/salmon runs that also make their way up Waite Creek to spawn. Whether you are looking for an outdoor retreat or a strategic investment, the location is unparalleled with its close proximity to mills and expansive recreational options in the area. The property itself shows abundant sign of elk and deer. Camp Lane is directly across the highway. Situated 9 miles from the charming towns of Mapleton and Walton. A short 22-mile drive in either direction places you at the coast in Florence or in the valley at Veneta. Residential use is unlikely to be approved because of zoning regulations. Shown by appointment only. No Seller-financing. Vacant land recreational loans available through specialized lenders.
