There is plenty of room here to cash in on the new demand for locally grown produce. Local agriculture includes vineyards, strawberries, blueberries, lavender, nursery stock and Xmas trees. You could start your own CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). There is only one currently in La Center selling shares for $550 ($25/produce for 22 weeks). Or, sell your produce at the nearby Woodland and Battle Ground farmers markets. You could start a tax deductible Alpaca ranch, or raise goats for rent. Currently growing on the front 28 acres are 200 bearing English walnut trees and 100 Black walnut trees. Walnuts are the new health craze. There is also a 36’x 60’ shop with 2000 sq ft living quarters upstairs, irrigation well and an 18’x 38’ in ground swimming pool. The 28 acres can be divided into 5 acre lots. We are also including the adjoining lower 19.41 acres that is heavily timbered with Doug fir, alder, maple, cherry and cedar, enough timber to build a log lodge just from thinning. Our two story shop/living quarters were all built from Doug fir we milled off the land. Property includes three creeks with enough drop to generate your own electricity and two ponds. You could try your hand at fish farming. Low property taxes. Beautiful private setting on dead end road. Just 10 minutes to the friendly, family oriented town of La Center, then easy access to I-5, Exit 16. Forty minutes to Portland, OR and PDX. Small airstrip across road from lower 19.41 acres.
