About this home
Picturesque land features fertile pasture and tall timber with a present "net" value of $70,000 as per an offer from timber co. Wonderful hilltop building site views toward Mt. Rainier. Good portion of the site fenced for livestock that are watered from a gravity flow spring. Decrepit old barn and power service is installed along Independence Rd. Zoning is 1per20, no division possible. Former owner had built a long driveway and set up a hilltop home/camp site including a septic (tank only, no permit) Located just minutes out of Rochester & only about a 40 min drive to Olympia. Superb building site in gorgeous rural valley. Giant old bulldozer can be thrown in to the deal. (was running a couple years ago) Nice property, great area!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

RDD-20
Rural Development District
The Rural Development District is the portion of land in Lewis County not otherwise designated. While the Rural Development District has an overall density designation of one unit per 20 acres, the combinations of steep slopes, tight soils, flood plains, and unbuildable critical areas will provide a wide variety of rural residential densities, and will preserve the rural character of the county while providing reasonable opportunity for any low density development. The purpose of this chapter is to achieve a variety of lot sizes, protect rural character, and protect small rural business which have historically served the citizens of Lewis County.
Directions: From Hwy 12 in Rochester, South at Stoplight on Albany, Right at Swede Hall to Independence Rd, cross Chehalis River bridge and go another 4 miles to property on the right.
