Two acres on a quiet private road (shared only with one neighbor at 109 Legacy Dr), with the heavy-lifting site work already done. Approximately three-quarters of an acre has been cleared and graded into level building pads on a south-facing ridge — one for a main home, a second suitable for a shop, ADU, or guest cabin. The remaining ~1.25 acres wraps the pads in a mature Douglas-fir and mixed Pacific Northwest forest with classic fern understory, giving you an instant privacy buffer and a true Cascadia setting — no decades-long wait for trees to grow in.
Infrastructure already in place:
- Electric service connected at pedestal on the property
- Starlink installed
- Approved septic permit on file
- Graded gravel driveway from Legacy Dr
- Site Plan approved
Views & setting. Filtered river/valley views look out toward the Columbia River corridor. Selective view-corridor clearing could expand those sightlines — that design call is yours. Walking paths already wind through the forest.
Note on location. The property sits on a ridge above I-5 — a genuine 10 minutes to the freeway and ~30 minutes to Portland/PDX. Some steady background traffic noise from the valley below is present; many buyers find the mature Douglas-fir canopy softens it into white-noise character. Please visit in person to judge the sound level for yourself.
Best fit for: remote workers who already have a Starlink-tolerant lifestyle and want a PNW forest backdrop, build-your-own-home buyers who value a usable pad plus a wild woodland, and multi-generational or homesteading buyers who want a main dwelling plus an ADU/shop on one parcel.
Zoning: Unzoned (Cowlitz County) — single-family plus ADU permitted. Buyer to verify building plans and septic design with the county.
