LAND:
As mentioned earlier the home is located on 3.03 acres. The land is longer then wide, and there is a natural division of the current home from the upper piece of land where a fantastic building site awaits. A private drive leads to the upper portion of the property. Over 180 degree mountian views on the front side and Montgomery creek views on the back side. Plenty of mature trees to add a great parklike feeling. The back of the property is bordered by a private timber company so no neighbors there. Also with permission you can walk or ride for miles. The upper homesite and septic have been approved in the past. Fenced and crossed fenced. There is a shed row style barn that has four stalls, 10'x32'. One is used for hay storage and the other three are fully matted and have large paddocks attached. There is an additional building on the upper property 10'x14' that is currently used for storage. All of the out buildings are new. There is an additional adjacent 3.5 acres available by a different owner if your interesed in a bit more land.

MCKENZIE RIVER RECREATION AREA:
You could not ask for a better location. Eugene/Springfield is 20-30 minutes away for an easy commute or shopping. The Mckenzie River is within walking distance for fishing or fun. Skiing, snow and mountains are about an hour east. To the west is the beautiful Oregon coast, again about an hours drive. And to the North you have Portland for the big city entertainments.

The beautiful McKenzie River Valley is a 68 mile long corridor stretching between Sisters on the east and Springfield on the west. Renowned for fishing, the McKenzie River supports spring Chinook salmon, winter steelhead and summer steelhead as well as native rainbow, cutthroat and bull trout. The high lakes have been planted with brown and brook trout, making the McKenzie River Valley a sportsman's paradise.

Take the McKenzie River Highway (Ore. 126) for sightseeing along the valley. The first part of the valley has many nut and fruit orchards (mainly filberts, apples and cherries), berries (such as marionberry, blueberry and raspberry), mint farms and Christmas tree farms. The Leaburg Dam, in the middle part of the valley, is a good place to watch salmon and steelhead climbing a fish ladder. The Leaburg Trout Hatchery is at this location. The McKenzie Salmon Hatchery in Leaburg provides tours by appointment only. The historical Leaburg Fish Hatchery is home to the McKenzie River Chamber of Commerce and Information Center.

The middle McKenzie River is a favorite place for fishermen and drift boaters. Since mild whitewater rafting and driftboat fishing are favorite pasttimes here, there are many outfitters and local guides to help visitors experience their own adventures. The Goodpasture Covered Bridge, 165 feet long, is the second longest covered bridge standing in Oregon. Near Vida, it's easy to get to and photograph. A second and equally scenic covered bridge is the Belknap Bridge, located in the community of Rainbow. Ben & Kay Dorris Park, also near Vida, has great picnic areas and fishing holes.

The Aufderheide Memorial Drive, part of the West Cascades National Scenic Byway, has some of the most spectacular scenery in Oregon, including the popular Terwilliger Hot Springs, the Delta Old Growth Nature Trail, the Willamette River Gorge and the Westfir covered bridge. The McKenzie Pass - Santiam Pass National Scenic Byway loop road is one of the most beautiful drives in Oregon. It winds through some of the most recent volcanic flows in the state past many waterfalls, and is home to the Dee Wright Observatory. This CCC project, built mostly out of lava rock in the 1930s, has breath-taking views of Mt. Washington, Mt. Jefferson, the Three Sisters, and, on clear days, Mt. Hood.

A hiker's paradise, the area features such trails as the 26 mile McKenzie River National Recreation Trail, which is also open to bicyclists, goes through many volcanic formations, the half mile loop Delta Old-Growth Nature trail built for exploring the old growth ecosystem, and the Robinson Lake Trail, which leads to a heart-shaped lake with fishing and swimming.

As if the many recreational opportunities weren't enough, the McKenzie River Area also has golfing, the U.S. Basketball Academy in Blue River and fine dining.
