Riverfront getaway on Oregon's central coast. Many people are searching for a small piece of Oregon to call their own: to escape the crowded public campgrounds, to hear the peaceful sounds of evening, to sleep under the stars, to make memories with their families. Few such places are available on a navigable river. This property offers roughly 1.5 acres of level ground along the beautiful Yaquina River and 9 acres of woods on the slopes of the coastal hills. Surrounded by pre-merchantable timber planted approximately 1995-2000. Property is visited by elk. It has NO ROAD ACCESS, so you arrive by boat and enjoy your escape from civilization. The public boat ramp is just 2.5 miles downstream, an easy paddle especially when the tide is rising. Property even has electricity available! There was a cabin here in the past, and the seller has kept the electrical account in place.
10.51 total acres, divided by the Portland & Western short-line railroad
Mature oak & conifer timber on slopes
Fuel your campfire from your own woodlot
Fish the river for chinook & coho salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, bass, perch, trout
Yaquina Bay offers the above fish plus lingcod, rockfish, cabezon, clams, crabs
6 miles by river to Toledo, 14 to Yaquina Bay, 18 to ocean
Right to rebuild cabin is doubtful; buyer to do all due diligence
Nearest neighbor is across river
One hour's drive to the I-5 corridor, and 2.5 hours to Portland. Close to Newport, with its spectacular scenery, great beaches, and famous Oregon Coast Aquarium. Even closer to the small town of Toledo in case you just want to boat down to the public marina and walk to a nearby pub or restaurant. This place is what Oregon is all about.
