240 acres abutting Okanogan Nat'l Forest
One of the most desired locations for building your Homestead in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Farm/Ranch/Hunt with peace and tranquility in one of the most beautiful surroundings money can buy. This is one of the most beautiful views of the Cascade Mountains to the west and the Rockys to the east, plus 1000's of acres of the Okanogan National Forest money can buy. The location that this property has to offer was chosen by a homestead family almost 100 years ago to build on their piece of heaven and raise their family, The remnants of the home and out-buildings can be restored using some of the timber on the land.
The 240 acres has about all you would ever desire with one of the most beautiful meadows with enough quality grass for many animals to graze and an abundance of wildflowers with vivid colors of nature.
Also, you will have one of the most eye-catching stands of Aspens you may have ever seen. The Aspens turn bright orange in color in the fall. There is also lots of artesian spring activity that will give you all the water needed for your domestic use and water for as large a garden and your animals.
A little more about the property's location is always important to know.
Okanogan County is the largest county in the Northwest covering over 3,500,000 acres. You, your family and guests will have over 2,500,000 acres of the Okanogan National Forest and State Forest lands to venture in for a lifetime of nature at its best.
There are many other 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).
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. With the mountains surrounding the Okanogan Highlands gives you the most magnificent mountain views one can imagine.
5. The U.S. Okanogan grows great quantities of peaches, apples, pears, grapes, and a wealth of vegetables. If you fancy yourself a wine connoisseur, you will be in some of the finest grape growing countries in the Western United States and in minutes, you can be back to the mountains enjoying those peaceful moments we all strive for.
You can enjoy 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 can experience additional year-round recreation with our foreign neighbor. There are over 135 wineries in BC alone starting just north of the Canadian border. You will also find cosmopolitan dining, downhill skiing, fishing, hiking, golfing, water sports, or just sightseeing with our neighbors to the north.
