If you are into nature wa...
If you are into nature walks and like a variety of wild life such as: Deer, Elk, bear, cougar, Bobcats, Lynx, Wild Turkey, and many more species, plus over 400 species of birds in the Tonasket Ranger Station of which this property falls in.
The wild flowers and wild strawberries on this land is unbelievable, the land was part of an old homestead over 100 years ago which tells you that if you could get there by horse and buggy, you can make it with modern vehicles with easy year-round access today.
I would also like you to know that the Okanogan Highlands where this acreage is located is one of the most active market areas for acreage in Washington State if not the Northwest.
There are many reasons for this, 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) what more could you ask for.
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, giving you the most magnificent mountain views one can imagine.
5. Not often can you own property and be in a foreign country in just minutes from your home or cabin where you have another world to venture.
The U.S. Okanogan grows the juiciest peaches, apples, pears, and produces a wealth of vegetables. If you fancy yourself a wine connoisseur, you will be in some of the finest grape growing country in the Western United States and in minutes, you can be back to the mountains enjoying those precious moments we all strive for.
You can have the best of both worlds with the Canadian Okanagan in British Columbia which is the winter and summer play land for all of Canada, offering you added recreation and enjoying five excellent ski areas.
The Canadian Okanagan is minutes away where you will be able to enjoy additional year-round recreation with our foreign neighbor. If you are into wine tasting, there are over 135 wineries in BC alone, starting just miles north of the Canadian border. You will also find cosmopolitan dining, downhill skiing, fishing, hiking, golfing, or just relaxing. I would not know where you can go that would meet so many different things for families to do just minutes away better than the Canadian Okanagan country. Do some research for yourself and I think you will see why so many people are retiring and recreating in the American Okanogan year-round. (FYI: The Canadian way to spell the Okanagan is with an A after the N) the U.S. is Okanogan.
[name], my wife and I have been owners in the Okanogan Highlands for 35 years and have yet to find a place that fits our needs for investment, recreation, or retirement more than the Okanogan Highlands; I hope it works for you and your family.
Happy Trails,
