TREES!

If you're looking for Southern Oregon Real Estate then we know you like trees, and this property aims to please!  Better than 3/4 of the acreage is a mixed evergreen & deciduous forest, featuring mostly fir and pine (many of which are HUGE!) along with several  stately and majestic laurel and oak. An old sugar pine towers to a height of about 150 feet less than 50 feet from the house, dropping magnificent cones from a foot to a foot and a half long. Each is filled with fat and delicious pine nuts, and if you get to them before the squirrels do you can make your own pesto, also using your own wild opal basil that grows in thick patches all about.

Our forest management strategy has been to promote conifer growth while slowly yet persistently thinning the oak and madrone.  Besides reducing the leaf overburden (saving us a lot of raking!) it also provides plenty of firewood, a supply which should never run out as long as the hardwoods aren't tackled too aggressively.

Above are the twin tops of one of our largest Madrone trees. Through a hole in the canopy to its left can be seen one of our next-door neighbor's sugar pines in the distance, a close-up of which is shown below.

And here (below) is the top of our own aforementioned sugar pine as it is seen looking up from right outside the front door. If you look close you can count 8 or 9 giant pine cones, maybe more!

And below yet another view from just barely out the front door of the house:
