Land for Sale in Rainier, Oregon

Twenty acres of peaceful, private forestland with a valuable mix of fir, alder, and maple create a rare opportunity for both natural beauty and long-term income potential. The land was replanted with fir about 35 years ago and, after years without active management, is now being thoughtfully thinned to encourage strong growth in the remaining trees. Current estimates suggest roughly 10-20% fir, 50-60% alder, and 20-30% maple, with some timber already merchantable and the rest positioned for a profitable harvest with continued care. The property is zoned Primary Forest, and it has been indicated that it meets the template test for one-family home with a conditional use permit, giving a buyer the chance to create a private homesite surrounded by nature. Buyers should verify all requirements with the county. Despite its seclusion, the location is exceptionally convenient-only about four miles from the Lewis and Clark Bridge and less than two miles off Highway 30 west of Rainier. Access is legal and established via a short private drive shared with just two other homes, and there may be additional access possibilities through existing easements under the power line. This land offers a blend of privacy, investment potential, and proximity to town that is increasingly hard to find
