Fabulous 360 degree mountain view/ 20 acre property/very private
Be the first to see this one of kind property located in the Okanogan Highlands of North central Washington State very close to the Canadian border. The 20.38 acres is located in one our states finest year-round recreational valleys. Aeneas Valley is surrounded by the Okanogan National Forest on three sides with over 120,000 acres to recreate in for a life time. If you are an out-doors person and love nature at its best, you will want to view this pristine, Secluded view property.
The property is well treed and has hundred's of new growth created by a forest fire about 8 years ago. (Ponderosa Pines can't reproduce without a forest fire). The fire opened up the view and cleared the land making it look like a park. You have enough firewood on the property for many years to come.
The pictures were taken this summer ...
The pictures were taken this summer 2016, giving you a good idea what the property looks like today!
The acreage is very gently sloping to the south giving you about as good exposure as money can buy with the earliest morning sun and a sunset you have to see to believe. The new owner will have the best sunrise and sunset as you may have seen anywhere. The soils are excellent for as large a garden as you would ever want, with lots of grass for an animal or two. Hike to the National Forest in just minutes and experience all that nature has to offer. There are 7 alpine lakes with-in minutes of the property with some of the best fishing I have experienced.
For the next few months, you will be able to pick all the wild flowers off the property and enjoy the multi-colors nature offers, Meadowlarks are singing and the Deer are plentiful. You will see some of the largest Gaggle's of wild Turkey you may have seen anywhere.
I would also like you to know that the Okanogan Highlands where this acreage is located is one of the most active real estate markets for acreage in Washington State if not the Northwest.
There are many reasons for this, 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.
My wife and I have been owners in the Okanogan Highlands for 37 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.
