Mile High Five — Build-ready 5± acres with power, septic, well, year-round flowing creeks, RV setup, and direct Wallowa National Forest (USFS) access. A rare opportunity to own a truly buildable mountain property with major infrastructure already in place. Power, septic, and well are installed at the homesite, allowing you to move forward with future construction while enjoying the property immediately. The property includes a freshly updated travel trailer (RV) with new finishes and appliances, protected under a constructed cover, providing comfortable use as a temporary residence, hunting basecamp, or recreational retreat while you plan and build your home or cabin.Located on the north face of Mount Howard, this property directly borders the Wallowa National Forest, offering immediate access to over 367,000 acres of public land for hunting, hiking, horseback riding, and year-round recreation right out your back door. A significant advantage is the Wallowa County Planning Department “Perfected” Zone Permit (#14-03)—an increasingly difficult approval to obtain that provides a compliant streamlined path for future development. Prairie Creek and the Estes Ditch run along the eastern and western boundaries, providing year-round natural water. Elk, deer, and native wildlife frequently travel through the property, enhancing the authentic wilderness experience while still offering established infrastructure—a rare combination in the Joseph area.Mile High Five offers something few properties can: year-round waterways, direct National Forest access, existing utilities, and the ability to enjoy the land immediately while building for the future—making it an exceptional legacy property in one of Northeast Oregon’s most sought-after mountain locations.
