For decades, this 31-acre property has been a cherished recreational escape for one family, now it is ready for its next chapter. Located along scenic Deer Creek Road, the land offers a mix of sunny ridge tops, shady forest, and serene creek frontage. Per the owner, the property starts before the second bridge and both Deer Creek and Bear Creek flow on the property and typically run year round.

Turnouts along the road provide convenient parking, with trails and old roads leading up to several flat, sunlit areas perfect for picnics, camping, or future projects. The property's TP (Timber Production) zoning offers significant tax savings approximately one-tenth of the standard 1.2% property tax rate making it an attractive investment for timber management or long-term ownership. Whether you are seeking a weekend getaway, a private camping spot, or a large tract of timberland with mountain views, this rare offering combines seclusion, natural beauty, and potential.
