About this home

A unique opportunity to acquire acreage where much of the initial development has already been thoughtfully completed. This 5.63-acre property offers 323 feet of Deschutes River frontage and is located in the Tumwater School District. A new septic system has been installed, the well is drilled, and power is available on site. A Conditional Site Approval was approved in 2011 for a 5-bedroom home with a shop (expired in 2014), and permitting is currently in progress to reissue site approval, giving buyers a clear path forward when it’s time to build. There’s a private driveway in and a cleared building area, so you’re not starting from scratch. The property is set up well for animals and usable ground, with pasture areas currently used for hay along with cross-fencing and gates already in place. Down by the river, you’ll find a great shaded area with a firepit—perfect for relaxing, hanging out, or enjoying evenings by the water. It’s a peaceful setting with a nice balance of open ground and natural surroundings. Private feel, but still close to Tumwater, schools, and I-5. Great opportunity to build on a waterfront property with much of the groundwork already completed.
