Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This wooded recreation land parcel has been carefully managed as a wood lot over the years. It is currently enrolled in the commercial Forest Reserve, which the owner notes keeps property taxes very low, and removal can be arranged if needed. The property was recently surveyed, and it has a natural mix of very high hilltops and rolling terrain.
Access is provided by a private easement from Chief Road. From the easement, a two-track road leads to a natural valley, providing access to the property’s southeastern corner. Seasonal views of Bear Lake through the trees have been indicated by a forester, and the property also presents a large amount of timber value based on that same guidance.
For buyers seeking a heavily wooded parcel for privacy-focused recreation or timber-related ownership, the existing wood lot management, forest reserve enrollment, and surveyed status offer a straightforward starting point. Prospective owners should review the forest reserve terms and the easement access route to confirm plans for how and when they intend to use the land.
