Tonasket, WA 98855(Okanogan County)

Here is a chance to own a large property only 2 miles east of Tonasket with approximately 2 miles fronting on Hwy 20 and Bonaparte Creek which is a trout bearing creek. Located in Washington States finest recreational retirement area's with over 1,750,000 acres of the Okanogan National Forest just minutes from the property. There are large herds of Deer, wild Turkeys, Bear, great bird watching with numerous types of birds that frequent the property. Build your dream home/ranch and have very productive soils and grass for your animals if you desire. The spectacular views of the Canadian Rockies to the north, Cascade mountains to the west, and the American Rockies to the east make you feel and look like the Sound of Music with Julie Andrews. You will be less than 5 minutes from a fully serviced town and only 25 miles south of the Canadian Border. There is power and phone running along the North line of the property. A forest fire went thru the property in 2016 clearing sage brush 7 feet tall and clearing the property saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in clearing costs. You won't believe the wildflowers that now cover the property giving you colors unimaginable!! (For an investor, the property is extremely sub-dividable to smaller parcels, presently in 11 tax parcels)

I would also like you to know that the Okanogan Highlands where this acreage is located is one of the most active real estate markets for acreage in Washington State if not the Northwest.

There are many reasons why as I have listed just a few below:

1. Weather: With 300 days of sunshine what more could you ask for.

2. Water: Okanogan County has hundreds of lakes, (many of which are alpine fishing lakes) along with the Okanogan and Columbia Rivers, (two of the largest bodies of water west of the Mississippi) what more could you ask for.

3. Price: Where else can you buy beautiful usable acreage for less, with year-round recreation at your fingertips plus over 2,500,000 acres of the Okanogan National Forest and Washington State Forest lands to use for a lifetime.

4. Location: Okanogan County is nestled in between the Rocky Mountains to the East and North, and the Cascade Mountains to the West, giving you the most magnificent mountain views one can imagine.

5. Not often can you own property and be in a foreign country in just minutes from your home, or cabin where you have another world to venture.

The U.S. Okanogan grows the juiciest peaches, apples, pears, grapes, and produces a wealth of vegetables. If you fancy yourself a wine connoisseur, you will be in some of the finest grape growing country in the Western United States and in minutes, you can be back to the mountains enjoying those precious moments we all strive for.

You can have the best of both worlds with the Canadian Okanagan in British Columbia.

The Canadian Okanogan is the summer and winter play land for all of Canada, offering you added recreation and enjoying five excellent major ski areas.

The Canadian Okanagan is minutes away where you will be able to enjoy additional year-round recreation with our foreign neighbor. If you are into wine tasting, there are over 135 wineries in BC alone, starting just miles north of the Canadian border. You will also find cosmopolitan dining, downhill skiing, fishing, hiking, golfing, or just relaxing. I dont know where you can go that would meet so many different activities for the family to do just minutes away in the Canadian Okanagan country. Do some research for yourself, I think you will see why so many people are retiring and recreating in the American Okanogan year-round. (FYI: The Canadian way to spell the Okanagan is with an A after the N) the U.S. is Okanogan.

My wife and I have been owners in the Okanogan Highlands for 40 years and have yet to find a place that fits our needs for investment, recreation, or retirement more than the Okanogan Highlands; I hope it works for you and your family.
