1241 N FORK RD

Escape to your own private 52.5-acre retreat and experience the ultimate off-grid lifestyle, or create the secluded dream estate you've always envisioned. Just two years ago, this remarkable property featured two cleared building sites, an expansive garden, and three miles of trails—many graveled—ready to explore. While nature has begun reclaiming portions of the land, the infrastructure and vision remain in place, offering an incredible opportunity for the next owner to restore and build upon what has already been created.  Sitting above the North Fork Washougal River sits a 40-foot Spartan trailer (approximately 270 square feet) with a spacious covered deck. The property is served by a well, (5 GPM), 400-amp electrical service, and buried water, power, and data lines.  You will appreciate the impressive homestead infrastructure, including a large garden with approximately 40 raised beds, mature fruit trees, composting areas, irrigation sprayers, a 40-foot hoop house with drip irrigation, and a walk-in chicken coop. Although the garden has become overgrown, established plantings remain, ready to be rediscovered and revitalized.  Outdoor amenities include a fire pit, abundant water resources with well water, rainwater collection, spring water collection, and a 5,000-gallon water storage tank. Even the shed is designed to capture rainwater.  Private trails wind throughout the property, including to Vogel Creek and multiple points to the North Fork Washougal River. The river offers excellent fishing opportunities and access to a well-known local swimming hole, while the steep terrain on the other side of the river naturally provides exceptional privacy due to limited access.  The existing trailer site has received perc approval, and the septic system may be expandable (buyer to verify).  There may also be potential to divide the property into 2-3 parcels. Buyers should perform their own due diligence regarding development, subdivision, zoning, and all intended uses.
