Helm's Creek
Timberland Investment Opportunity less than 10 miles from the Coast near Yachats
This exceptional ±197.9-acre timberland property, located approximately seven miles from the coastal community of Yachats, offers an investment opportunity for industrial timber operators, small woodland owners, and outdoor enthusiasts alike. In addition to its timber value, the property provides excellent recreational and hunting opportunities in a highly desirable Oregon Coast Range setting. Approximately 125 acres are stocked with a well-established 21-year-old stand comprised primarily of Douglas-fir and western hemlock. This timber stand is exhibiting excellent growth and demonstrates strong long-term investment potential. The terrain across much of this area is suitable for both ground-based and cable logging systems, providing flexibility for future harvest operations. An additional approximate 40 acres consist of approximately 30-year-old Douglas-fir that is growing vigorously and approaching an age where commercial thinning or harvest opportunities may generate near-term income. Approximately seven acres of mature timber were strategically retained during the previous harvest. This volume represents future harvest potential and may become available once adjacent stands satisfy Oregon Forest Practices Act requirements. The property has been successfully reforested following previous harvest activities, resulting in healthy, well-stocked stands that continue to grow at an impressive rate. The overall timber management history reflects thoughtful stewardship and a commitment to long-term productivity. Access is excellent, with paved roads extending to within approximately 1.3 miles of the property. The primary internal road system is in good condition and provides reliable access throughout much of the tract for both forest management and recreational use. Surrounding ownership includes federal timberland, industrial timberland, and private non-industrial forestland, creating a landscape characterized by large contiguous forest holdings and abundant wildlife habitat.
