Description

Just one hour east of Seattle lies these 10 acres in the beautiful lake region of the central cascades with frontage along Stampede Creek, a tributary to the Yakima River. The property is located just a few minutes off I-90 and accessed via an easement off a forest service road. Bordering the property are over 4 million acres of the Wenatchee National Forest’s vast wilderness and beyond. Finding private land in this area is scarce as this is just one of a small handful of privately owned parcels that are surrounded by national forest.

Access to the outdoors is what really sets this parcel apart. Within walking distance is the Palouse to Cascades trail – offering 350+ miles of hiking, biking, and backcountry exploration. Also within walking distance is the Yakima River, offering rafting, kayaking, and fishing opportunities. Less than two miles away is the Crystal Springs Sno-Park – the largest of it’s kind in the state, offering access to another 50+ miles of groomed snow trails right from your doorstep. In addition to the numerous mountain peaks, the three main lakes of the area: Keechelus Lake, Kachess Lake, and Cle Elum Lake are all short drives away. Elk, deer, black bear are all prevalent in the area.

Most of the neighboring parcels have built off-grid cabins serving as their weekend or seasonal mountain getaway with ski-in/ski-out access during the winter. The survey map for this and the adjacent parcels around it is available. The well logs for the adjacent properties show excellent production without having to go deep. There is no HOA and no covenants! With some clearing of the brush, the offers untapped potential for building along the creek. This property is a black slate, just waiting for someone with an imagination to maximize it’s potential. It’s been many years since a property here has been available to purchase so contact us today so you don’t miss out!
