This combination of 109 acre tree farm, with two homes, well-stocked reproduction including some merchantable timber, suitable plantable soils, and water rights, all within 20 minutes of Eugene, is a rare buying opportunity.

TREE FARM

Please see Supplemental Information Package for Inventory and Type Map.

The property has been managed as a commercial tree farm for the last 25 years. It is within a highly productive growing region, with Douglas-fir Site Class II. Weyerhaeuser Co is the adjoining owner to the west. Topography is a combination of gentle to moderate north and south-facing slopes.

Forty-three acres have 3+ year-old Douglas-fir. Thirty of the 43 acres are in the northeast section, and the balance is along Butler Road and in the western section. These areas could be planted as vineyard, taking advantage of Bellpine soils, and aspect.

Ten acres of 11 year-old, and 28 acres of 19 year-old well-stocked reproduction provide significant asset growth within the next 20 years.

Thirteen acres of 36 year-old Douglas fir with 240 MBF are along Butler Creek Road.

Fifteen acres are non-productive, and include both homes, barn, shed, and riparian area along Gateway Creek and pond.

There are two older, three-bedroom, one-bathroom homes on the Tree Farm, currently rented on a month-to-month basis at a significantly below market rent of $600. Butler Road Tree Farm sale is subject to terms of lease. Both homes were built in the 1950s and will require repairs. They use a shared gravel drive from Butler Road.
