Nearly seventeen acres of foothill forest along paved Abiqua Rd NE, in the quiet wooded hills above Scotts Mills. The land totals 16.98 acres and lies in two pieces on either side of the county road, about 9.9 and 6.6 acres, each bordering the road. The north/east piece is a deep, cool stand of mature firs. Across the road, the south/west piece opens into a lighter, mixed canopy where firs give way to deciduous trees that turn gold in autumn, near Abiqua Creek. A gravel entrance with a new metal double gate and split-rail fencing meets the road, framed by tall evergreens. Marion County has approved the land to be built on with one single-family residence, offering a rare chance to create a private home site in the forest. Boundary lines shown on photos are approximate illustrations, not a survey. Buyer to verify acreage, boundaries, zoning, permitted uses, conditions of the dwelling approval, water, septic, utilities, access, and flood status with Marion County and their own professionals.
