About this home

Watching the river run.....quiets the mind and opens the heart! This solid single level cabin is just the right size and in the perfect location. True river frontage with front row seats to watch the salmon, otter, beaver, eagle, osprey, ducks, deer and elk. Home has a beautifully remodeled kitchen with maple cabinetry, newer roof/gutters/downspouts, cozy woodstove plus a fireplace, many newer windows and doors, covered porch and deck with incredible views. Generator ready, woodshed and garage all on just under 1 acre, large enough for privacy but not too much to maintain. Property is bordered by the gurgling Lost Lake Creek as it enters the Nehalem River. Water rights to Lost Lake Creek provide domestic and garden water. With over 200 feet of Nehalem River frontage this is a fisherman's paradise. Swim, kayak, paddle-board, its all in your front yard. Easy access to Hwy. 26, 30 minutes to Seaside/Cannon Beach or 1 hour to Portland. River life awaits!

RA-5

Residential Agriculture-5 Zone

The RA-5 zone is intended to accommodate the immediate foreseeable demand for very low density rural residential development in designated outlying areas where commitments to such uses have already been made through existing subdivision, partitioning, or development, or in selected small areas having unique scenic, locational and other suitable site qualities. The RA-5 zone is intended to be applied to land where the anticipated magnitude or density of development will not require more than a very basic level of services, such as single local road access, individual domestic wells and sewage disposal systems. The very low density limitation of the RA-5 zone is also based on prevailing lot sizes, limited or undetermined domestic water sources, or limitations of soil conditions for subsurface sewage disposal.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Agriculture
Greenhouse / nursery
Housing-Single unit
Housing-Multiple units
Infrastructure
