Reading the comments below the article this guy pretty much nailed it.">Doing the math you're getting 673 acres for what it would cost for FOUR acres in East Wenatchee. Pretty huge price diff. for WAY more land.< Yep, you get way more land, but what can you do with it? You can't develop it. You probably need a special permit just to cut down a single tree after you conduct an environmental impact assessment, lol. In short, Longview Fibre wants out and they're looking for someone to assume their risk. Build a cabin on it? Try obtaining a building permit first. You can't divert a stream for any purpose so maybe you could sink a well--permit required. If you can get 5 GPM for drinking water, then you have to put in a "waste treatment facility"--better known as a septic and drain-field--permit required along with numerous inspections and additional environmental impact assessments, lol. No power drop available so you have to go off-grid and do solar cuz your SO refuses to cut and split wood while you drink beer and belch orders. Most of these parcels are "south slope" offerings which means very hot and very dry for about 8 months out of the year--think fire hazard and associated liability. All things considered, without logging rights, it's virtually worthless unless you can find enough investors willing to put up equal amounts of money to buy one parcel outright and then share in an "undivided interest" that would allow all owners to share equally in the ownership benefits as well as the ownership responsibilities and liabilities--good luck with that, considering all the legal ramifications."I would be surprised if any of this is purchased by any private individual. If any or all of it is bought it will most likely be by a land trust or something. It would be nice to see the USFS buy this land. There has been a lot of former Longview property up for auction over the last few years.
