 A
gravel road about 1/4 mile long leads up the hill to a knoll
where the old home is located. This charming two-story, 4
bedroom farmhouse faces west with beautiful pastoral views of
the valley, distant hills and gorgeous sunsets. Built in 1930
and basically sturdy, this home would need renovation.
A small orchard near the house
contains apple, pear and plum trees, as well as raspberry
plants. Delicious wild blackberries grow many places on the
property. Drinking water is provided by a year-round natural
spring. A new septic system was installed 11 years ago, but
has had only 3 years of use.
 Fertile
land consisting of approximately 74 acres of pristine flat to
gently rolling grassland of unsurpassed beauty, and 74 acres
of timberland. The grasslands have a sturdy 4-strand barbed
wire fence around the perimeter of the fields.
The timber is on two parcels
of nearly equal size (almost 40 acres each) on wooded
hillsides. One parcel is at the northeast end of the property,
and the other is up on a hill marking the southern boundary.
The trees are primarily Douglas Fir, Hemlock and Spruce, with
a mixture of Alder trees.
 Property could be considered
a sportsman's paradise. A wide variety of native wildlife can
be seen on this property, including deer, elk, raccoons,
beavers, and blue herons. This would also be an ideal property
for a conservation conscious buyer.
Recreational activities
include hunting, fishing, hiking, four-wheeling and horseback
riding. A flat
 meadow affords easy private access to the
Nestucca River, with fishing and boating opportunities.
The Foland Creek runs through
the property from east to west with an excellent sturdy,
drivable bridge spanning the creek. After the first heavy
rains, salmon swim up the creek to spawn!
