The property is well-stocked with 23-year-old Douglas-fir that has a significant growth projected over the next 15 to 20 years due to a combination of age class and the propertys productive Douglas-fir site class of II. It is estimated that within the next 15 years the tree farm will have up to 4,207 MBF available to harvest. There is also near-term opportunity for a new owner to undertake some pre-commercial thinning, which will add productivity to the property. (Please see Supplemental Information Package for projections.)
There is a good all-season logging road that provides access to the western end of the tract, and also to a spur road to Tax Lot 214, the 12 acre parcel in the southwest section of the property. The topography is mostly gentle to moderate west- and south-facing slopes.
Foster Reservoir is within a five-minute drive of the property, and Linn County operates two parks along the Reservoir, which is used for boating and fishing. The Reservoir is stocked annually with over 40,000 rainbow trout, and is also known for its kokanee and bass populations.
