Tonasket, WA 98855(Okanogan County)

Lots of Ponderosa Pines, Fir, Aspens, and Tamarack, with a number of seasonal springs, plus Bannon Creek meanders along the West line of the property. There is 1.2 miles of National and State Forest lands on north and east lines. Forest fire went thru the property in 2016 and burned some trees that will give the new owner firewood for a lifetime, the land has healed extremely well with many area's looking like a landscaped park. Excellent private year-round access is perfect for a hunting cabins and residential homes if you desire as the property is in 3 separate contiguous tax parcels. There is lots of room where you would not see the other neighbors except for the herds of Deer, Elk, occasional Moose, lots of wild Turkeys. This is a perfect get-away/retirement property where you can bring your motorhome/camper in today and set up, or, build your retirement home as large as you want with the timber that is on the property.

This beautiful snow-capped mountain view property is located in the heart of the Okanogan Highlands with hundreds of thousands of acres of the Okanogan National Forest abutting the property where you and your guests can hike, hunt, ride your horses, snowmobile, cross-country ski, or just about anything you can imagine for recreation. You'll be about 11 miles for a full serviced town and hospital, 33 miles southeast from the Canadian border and Canada's wine country where you can enjoy 5 star restaurants, great wines, 4 world class ski area's, and the Canadian humor which I have always enjoyed.

A little more about the properties location is always important to know.

Okanogan County is the largest county in the Northwest covering over 3,500,000 acres. You, your family and guests will have over 2,500,000 acres of the Okanogan National Forest and State Forest lands to venture in for a lifetime of nature at its best. This is why the Okanogan is one of the most active real estate markets in our beautiful state.

There are many other reasons why as I have listed just a few below:

1. Weather: With 300 days of sunshine, what more could you ask for.

2. Water: Okanogan County has hundreds of lakes, (many of which are alpine fishing lakes) along with the Okanogan and Columbia Rivers, (two of the largest bodies of water west of the Mississippi).

3. Price: Where else can you buy beautiful usable acreage for less, with year-round recreation at your fingertips plus over 2,500,000 acres of the Okanogan National Forest and Washington State Forest lands to use for a lifetime.

4. Location: Okanogan County is nestled in between the Rocky Mountains to the East and North, and the Cascade Mountains to the West. With the mountains surrounding the Okanogan Highlands gives you the most magnificent mountain views one can imagine.

5. The U.S. Okanogan grows great quantities of peaches, apples, pears, grapes, and a wealth of vegetables. If you fancy yourself a wine connoisseur, you will be in some of the finest grape growing country in the Western United States and in minutes, you can be back to the mountains enjoying those peaceful moments we all strive for.

You can enjoy the best of both worlds with the Canadian Okanagan in British Columbia. The Canadian Okanogan is the summer and winter play land for all of Canada offering you added recreation and enjoying five excellent major ski areas.

The Canadian Okanagan is minutes away where you can experience additional year-round recreation with our foreign neighbor. There are over 135 wineries in BC alone starting just north of the Canadian border. You will also find cosmopolitan dining, downhill skiing, fishing, hiking, golfing, water sports, or just sightseeing with our neighbors to the north.
