RARE ELK RIVER FRONTAGE FISHING RETREAT, NO DRIVEBYS, gated private road, must be accompanied by an agent. Designated a WILD & SCENIC RIVER in 1988 as a salmon stronghold of immense importance, the Elk River is a jewel of southern Oregon’s “Wild Rivers Coast.” Pristine, healthy and cold, the Elk drains the largest block of old-growth forest in the Oregon Coast Range and carves through lush gorges on its 32-mile journey to meet the Pacific, just north of Port Orford. With its emerald water, strong native fish runs and majestic old-growth forests, the Elk River is a true refuge for fish and wildlife of the Oregon coast. Much of the basin remains virtually untouched within two vast wilderness areas, Grassy Knob Wilderness and the adjacent Copper Salmon Wilderness, making it the best-protected watershed on the Oregon Coast.The two story 3 bed 1 1/2 bath home sits right on the rivers edge taking in the breathtaking river views. There are three tax lots included in the sale providing privacy and seclusion, plenty of room for boats and tools in the large oversized garage with utility sink and toilet. Home and structures are in need of repair. This sale includes 3 tax lots R13973, R14457, R14033, totaling 4.99 acres. Septic system has been inspected and is functioning. Well is producing nicely.
