Private Forest Retreat Just Minutes from Ashland

Tucked into the woods yet conveniently close to the City of Ashland, this rural residential property offers the perfect balance of privacy, natural beauty, and accessibility. Situated at approximately 3,200 feet elevation, the setting feels like your own secluded forest retreat while remaining just a short drive from town.

The 2.15-acre hillside parcel has already undergone extensive excavation and improvement work. A gated gravel driveway leads into the private setting, where partial mountain views peek through mature evergreens and wildlife such as deer, wild turkeys, quail, and other native species are frequent visitors.

The sunny upper homesite pad has been leveled and is ready for construction. It includes a well, pumphouse, and holding tank, providing an excellent starting point for building your future home.

Below the homesite, the lower portion of the property is shaded by tall trees and features an ADU-style cottage outbuilding with a small living area and an attached oversized one-car garage, totaling roughly 600 square feet.

Additional improvements create a unique and functional homestead setting, including:

• Custom-built sauna building with certified woodstove
• Seasonal creek and pond fed by Mount Ashland snowmelt
• Solar-vented greenhouse, plumbed from the wellhouse
• Versatile storage shed located near the pond

The property also includes a clever temporary outhouse with a flush toilet, gravity-fed from the well and mounted atop a concrete holding tank. DEQ septic approval has already been obtained for installation of a permanent septic system.

Underground grid power is available at the property entrance (not yet connected). Existing outbuildings are pre-wired for future electricity and plumbed for water from the wellhouse, making future development easier.

Additional documentation available includes:

• Well log and 2024 well flow test report
• Cost estimates for power connection, septic installation, ADU plumbing, and ADU permitting

Ashland is renowned for its natural beauty, vibrant arts scene, acclaimed restaurants, wineries, and the world-famous Oregon Shakespeare Festival. This thoughtfully improved property offers a rare opportunity to create a permanent home or private retreat in the woods while remaining close to everything Ashland has to offer.

Ready for the next owner to bring their vision to life.
