Acreage Description:
This property sets back nicely from the road and the southern property line runs along an active railroad bridge. The driveway into the property is allowed via recorded easement across the west adjacent property. The land is in the flood plain and Seller is unable to find an elevation certificate that he thinks was done during placement of the manufactured home. Approximately 50 of Willamette riverfront could be accessible with some clearing. This is an impressive location on the river that includes islands, several slough inlets, and active railroad bridges.
Soils and Production:
USDA soil map shows approximately 30 acres in Class 2 Newberg soils and 6.5 acres in Camas gravelly sandy loam. The gravelly loam section was dug out and used for road base and this area was replaced with soil from the slightly higher topography locations of the farm. This project was permitted through Lane County.

EPUD has notified Seller that theyre in process of upgrading powerlines to the property. There are multiple meters on the property. 1 for each irrigation well, 2 that serve the breezeway barn & greenhouses, and one for the house. Propane 100 gallon tank is owned by the Seller and he fills the tank in Junction City. Usually once a year as it serves only the kitchen range.
