Pedee Hill

THE LAND:

The property is accessed via an easement over a private road that leads through a young forest of Douglas-fir to a secluded homesite atop the hill. Approximately 7 loads of rock were rolled into the driveway at the beginning of August, alongside a newly re-decked bridge that was completed in July 2024. Entry to the property is secured by two electric gates. Both gates are brand new, providing secure access.

This property does not have any public road frontage, providing the home with peace and quiet on its own hidden bench away from neighboring residences. The current usage of the land encompasses both residential and timber activities. There are no covenants, conditions, or restrictions (CCRs), homeowners' association (HOA) regulations, or conservation restrictions affecting the property. Additionally, the land was created through the partition process, making this a legal lot of record.

Approximately six years ago, the land was logged, and it has since been replanted with 425 trees per acre. In early 2024, there were efforts to interplant additional trees however, the Seller has since realized that may have been unnecessary after brush removal revealed more seedlings than originally believed to be present. A fire burned about 8-10 acres of the property three to four years ago. Those areas have been replanted as well. A release spray is scheduled for September to support the health of the timber on the sale parcel and the property contiguous to the west.

The topography of the land is sloping to gently sloped, with elevations ranging from 420 feet at its lowest point to 650 feet at its highest. The property enjoys sun exposure primarily from the north and west. The soil composition consists of Jory silty clay loam and Willakenzie silty clay loam, with an average site index of 117, indicating good productivity for timber growth.

Utilities on the property include a domestic water supply sourced from a well, which has an approximate flow rate of 17 gallons per minute at a depth of 96 feet. A new 1.5hp submersible well pump was installed in 2022, along with new water lines leading to the house. The property also features a septic system with a 1,250-gallon tank, which was last pumped in 2021 with very little use since. Power is supplied by Consumer's Power through underground powerlines.

The land is teeming with wildlife, including deer, turkey, elk, bobcats, quail, and coyotes, making it an appealing location for nature enthusiasts. Scenic views from the property encompass surrounding hills, farmland, and trees. According to the OR Dept. of Forestry’s streams mapping system, there are two small non-fish seasonal streams present on the land. There are no water rights associated with them. The property is free from wetlands and flood zones, ensuring a stable environment. For the year 2023-2024, the property taxes amount to $1,123.87, with a tax deferral option available through the Small Tract Forestland Program to keep property taxes low.
