WHY WE LOVE IT

For the past 8 years, this has been our family's refuge from the Portland winter gloom--a place of peace, sunshine, and nature. As we prepare to move out of state, we're ready to pass this magical property on to someone who will love it as much as we have.

IS IT BUILDABLE?

It's not clear- homes are being and have been built on adjacent and nearby parcels. We never intended to permanently live there, so have done no more than cursory research on this. Wells have been dug on adjacent lots, so that is indeed possible. The parcel is zoned Forest 2 and Wildlife Area in Deschutes County. We have set the price point assuming that obtaining a building permit for a residential home will be challenging if not impossible, but it seems it may be possible for someone that is able to navigate the county zoning and permitting process. If your intent is to build, please do your own research.

No realtors, please. No owner-financing available.

Serious inquiries only. Exact location will only be disclosed after we have had a conversation and can assess how serious you are. Many more photos and detail to share.

Property was closely adjacent to, but NOT burned in the recent Flat Fire. Wildland firefighters are able to access the parcel, and we saw evidence that they'd been on the property and taken measures to protect our "structures" on the site.
