PSA - Very nice property on the Sol Duc on the market

brownheron · Oct 4, 2023

Several folks have asked me to keep an eye out for cool river properties on the OP. Just saw this property came on the market. Nowhere near cheap but would be an amazing buy for someone interested in fishing and other outdoor activities on the North OP. Great salmon fishing right out back and probably pretty easy to cut a gap to make a rough launch.

Our place is one road north and we love the access to the river, beaches and mountains. I wish I could afford to upgrade:

Nice place...

Evan B · Oct 4, 2023

if we could get all the members here to donate like, $1500... we could buy it as a business and let supporting members use it.

Just a thought

I hate to say it, but for a 2500 sq ft house on 10 acres with river frontage.... $1.3 M probably is "cheap" these days.

Yes, on a relative basis for this part of the country, not unusual at all.

Our place was a good bit less, but still felt awfully expensive when I signed the papers - 5 acres and about 500' of frontage but high bank forest and doesn't have a great fishing hole on the property (neighbors on both sides do though). My wife thinks we over paid and maybe she's right but with logging zoning issues and national forest, residential property on the Sol Duc and Calawah is really limited.

I keep pitching it as a long-term investment. However, I'm not sure I have the wherewithal to keep up with the maintenance that long. Home ownership in the middle of the OP rainforest is not for the time constrained...

I can't handle that monthly payment.

What is the zoning presently?

Buy and preserve as an oasis for fishing

N Fork Snoqualmie - but a little too close to town for my taste...

Pretty sure that's the place on the right as you approach the road to the Campbell Tree Farm. Tourons line up on the road in fall to photography the red maples along the drive. I've driven by it a jillion times as a long time tree farm passholder but never seen the house as it's set too far back. Wow!

Mossback · Oct 4, 2023

I planted those trees 30 some years ago...every single one of them
Worked there 4 years designing/installing the landscape.

Place is too much maintenance for us...otherwise...
