Recreational Land for Sale in Port Angeles, Washington

Welcome to a rare opportunity in the peaceful community of Joyce--a stunning 38+ acre property with preliminary plat approval for seven spacious lots, each over five acres. Whether you're envisioning a private family compound or seeking an investment opportunity, this land offers exceptional versatility. Zoned CFM5, the property supports a wide range of uses including agricultural activities, cluster developments, commercial greenhouses (wholesale), communication relay facilities, family daycare providers, home enterprises, primitive campgrounds, RV parks, single-family dwellings, and timber harvesting--just to name a few. This is not an exhaustive list, and buyers are encouraged to explore the full scope of permitted uses under CFM5 zoning to unlock the property's full potential. The property is currently enrolled in a reduced timber tax classification, offering significant savings while maintaining flexibility for future development or harvest. It features merchantable timber, primarily 35- to 40-year-old Douglas fir with a minor component of red alder, which could provide income to help offset development costs (current timber cruise available). A DNR-approved timber harvest application is in place and valid for the next three years. A well was drilled in January 2025, and a site registration from May 2024 supports a shallow pressure septic system, with potential to explore other options through a new perk test area. Public Utility District (PUD) power infrastructure is available to the property, adding convenience and value for future development. With no CCRs (Covenants, Conditions, or Restrictions), owners have the freedom to build or develop without limitations often imposed by HOAs or private communities. The land's very gentle slope makes construction and development straightforward and cost-effective, reducing grading expenses and simplifying site planning. The property is set back from Highway 112, offering privacy and tranquility while still maintaining convenient access. It is not adjacent to the highway, providing a peaceful buffer from road noise and traffic. Access is already in place with a rocked and graded easement road from Highway 112, plus a second legal access via Springhaven Lane, offering flexibility for ingress and egress. Internal forest roads along the north and center of the property provide excellent layout options. Bordered by Department of Natural Resources land on two sides, the property enjoys added privacy and protected surroundings. Nature lovers will appreciate the abundant wildlife, including frequent sightings of hawks, songbirds, elk, and deer, making this a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and conservation-minded buyers. Located near the Lyre River Conservation Area, Salt Creek County Park, Crescent Beach, Lake Crescent, and the Elwha River estuary, this parcel is surrounded by world-class hiking, fishing, kayaking, surfing, paddleboarding, and camping. With potential water views through selective tree removal, this property is ideal for those looking to build a legacy retreat or capitalize on a ready-to-go subdivision in one of the Olympic Peninsula's most scenic and recreation-rich areas.
