PROPERTY: Dream of owning your own piece of the Pacific Northwest? Look no further than this completely fenced, 40 acre ranch! With flat, clear pasture land and a 985 foot driveway easement to Miles Creston Road, you’ll have easy access to all that you need. Power lines run along the easement and a well has been drilled on-site so this property is just waiting for your creative touch! Whether it’s building a home, bringing in a mobile home, or farming, etc there are lots of possibilities under the County’s easy Agricultural zoning rules. It’s sparsely populated and peaceful here but don’t worry about being too far away from civilization – grocery shopping (like Safeway) and local dining is still easily within reach in Wilbur or Davenport, both within 25 minutes. The Columbia River is even closer – just 13 minutes to the nearest public boat launch in Lincoln – so swim, boat, fish any time you please in one of America’s truly great, majestic waterways! For a full array of retail amenities and some big city action, the charming city of Spokane is less than an hour away. Don’t wait any longer to make this dream yours today, and an unbeatably low Acretown price!

FOR SALE BY OWNER: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you’re welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.
WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT SO CHEAP? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that’s our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly . . . and more of it! In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).
DISCLAIMER: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyer’s responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, build-ability, and approved/allowable use-age for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
