000 Coyote Ridge Rd Weston, OR 97886

Located near the headwaters of Coyote Creek by Tollgate, Oregon, this 30 +/- acre property features mixed conifer stands. Owned and professionally managed by the same family for over 60 years, the land has provided both recreation and return on investment. Timber management, enhancements, and wildlife habitat preservation have improved the forest's long-term health. The area, surrounded by Hancock Forest Management land on three sides and private and United States Forest Service land on the fourth, is managed primarily for timber production. The tract lies on a gentle west-facing slope above the North Fork of Coyote Creek, characterized by low ridges, benches, deep soil, and wet meadows. A natural spring creates an elk wallow, enhancing the wildlife habitat. In 2017, approximately 1/3 of the timber tract was commercially sanitation logged for pest or disease control, while another 1/3 was thinned for health management. The remaining 1/3 has not been logged since just after World War II and has a good stand of merchantable timber. In 2021, approximately 1600 Larch and 700 Douglas Fir trees were replanted, with a management plan in place.
