Tucked into the scenic hills outside historic Brownsville, this 7.05-acre RR-5 zoned parcel offers an inviting mix of open pasture, mature trees, privacy, and beautiful mountain, territorial, and valley views. A major bonus: septic site evaluation approval in 1999 is still in effect, electricity is already connected, and the property includes a well and pump house, giving you a valuable head start as you explore plans for your future home. The varied landscape features sunny clearings, gently rolling pasture, wooded areas, established paths, towering evergreens, and beautiful mature oaks. Choose a homesite that captures the views or nestle into the trees for added privacy. Wildlife is part of the scenery here, deer have been spotted roaming the property, and the combination of forest, meadow, and golden grasses creates a peaceful, park-like setting. Imagine morning coffee overlooking the valley, gardens or a small pasture in the sunshine, and quiet evenings surrounded by the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Nearby Brownsville is a charming historic community along the Calapooia River, known for its preserved downtown and as a filming location for the classic movie Stand By Me. Outdoor recreation is close at hand with McKercher Park about five miles east of Brownsville, offering swimming, fishing, hiking and picnicking along the Calapooia River. In town, Pioneer Park camping occupies roughly 26 acres along the river and provides a beautiful community gathering place. Whether your vision is a peaceful full-time residence, a private country retreat, or simply more room to enjoy the outdoors, Sheep Head Rd offers the rare combination of acreage, existing utilities, privacy, natural beauty, and expansive Oregon views. Buyer to perform due diligence regarding homesite approval, septic, utilities, zoning, and allowable uses.
Come build your dream home on this beautiful, secluded 5 acre lot just outside of the small town of Brownsville. Septic approval is already done and the power is at the road. The property has a shared well, currently not being used. Come see it yourself!
