0 Stepien Rd, Gaston, OR 97119

This 39.95 acre view property sits atop a rise affording 360 degree views of the Oregon coast range foot hills and Scoggins Valley Park/Hagg Lake, 7 miles below. Scoggins Valley Park offers fishing, boating and other recreational amenities ( https://www.washcoparks.org/ ). This hilltop home site feels exceedingly remote despite being only 13 miles from Forest Grove Oregon, home of Pacific University, 19 miles from Hillsboro Oregon, home to Intel’s largest research and manufacturing site, 20 miles from Beaverton, home to Nike, and 35 miles from Portland. It’s a short 65 miles from Tillamook Oregon, on the magnificent Pacific Coast, and 100 miles to Mount Hood and its skiing and recreational areas. It sits 12 miles from the Gaston Oregon wine region, adjacent to the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, famous for high-quality Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay wines. (https://americanwineryguide.com/region/gaston-oregon-wineries). The property is planted with Douglas Fir trees and zoned as “Exclusive Forest and Conservation District” with a home site approved by Washington County Oregon. Current property tax is $320 a year (not a typo). Buyers are to do their own due diligence to understand steps to obtain a building permit (Washington County Tax Lot Parcel ID 1N4310000208). This property offers a unique blend of close-in, far-out attributes and invites someone to create an exceptionally sited homestead.
