DESCRIPTION: This 640± acre timber tract is located in Oregon's central coast range, within the Siuslaw National Forest, along a ridge between the Yachats River and Buck Creek drainages. This investment grade timberland has an estimated 10,544 MBF of primarily 41 to 50 year old Douglas fir with some red alder and white woods also in the 41 to 50 year old age class, providing near-term cash flow from the improving log markets and projected 2011-2012 housing and economic recovery.

Almost two-thirds of the property is estimated as a Douglas fir site class I and the balance a site class II+, providing a highly productive timber growing site. There are 143± acres of well-stocked 16 to 25 year old Douglas fir reproduction located in the northeast portion of the tract. This reproduction will provide long-term growth and additional harvests in the next 20+ years. An estimated 40 acres is classified non-timberland.
