Cannon Beach, OR 97110(Clatsop County)

This 82 acre Necanicum Riverfront timber and recreation tract is located in the heart of Oregons north coastal range, along Highway 26, nine miles east of the oceanfront resort communities of Seaside and Cannon Beach, and within a sixty-minute drive of Portland. Cannon Beach is a 15-minute drive from the property. The Necanicum River is known for its winter steelhead, fall Chinook and cutthroat trout fishing. The property is located on both the south and north banks of the Necanicum River, and has over 4,000 feet of river frontage. There are 37 acres between the south bank of the Necanicum River and Highway 26, offering several good sites for seasonal cabins. The balance of the property, or 45 acres, is located between the north bank of the Necanicum and a mainline logging road which runs along the northern boundary of the auction property. The Seller, Lewis and Clark Timber Company, will provide the buyer a license agreement for access to this section of the property. A recent survey of the property is included in the Supplemental Information Package.

A power line R.O.W. runs north/south through the western mid-section of the property to a substation that is across Highway 26 from the property.

There is an estimated 1,250 MBF of primarily 35- to 60-year-old hemlock and Sitka spruce, and 260 MBF of 50- to 60-year-old red alder. Please see Supplemental Information Package for details. The Douglas-fir site index is 115 134.

Just west of the property is a riverfront subdivision and Klootchy Creek County Park, popular for day-use, with a small boat landing. North Coast Land Conservancy has land that adjoins Klootchy Creek County Park along the Necanicum River.

The Necanicum Riverfront tract has potential as a private recreation retreat, with opportunity for near-term cash flow from either harvesting some of the timber or obtaining value from a conservation easement.
