Forestland for Sale in Mason County WA

For sale, 11 acres of forestland (bound on two sides by the Tahuya State forest Reserve) with five State-owned public access fishing lakes all located less than one mile away: U Lake, Don Lake, Aldrich Lake, Robbins lake, and Lone Duck Pond (all you need is a Discover Pass to boat, swim, or fish in them).

Feel free to make an appointment to walk around the property (you may get lost without a guide).

This property also has a year-round ~ 1/10th of an acre pond that has a maximum depth at one end (depending on time of year) of roughly ten feet, many hundreds of harvestable trees, well-maintained roads, and a seasonal stream passing through the far edge of the Northwest corner.

Year-round Pond

There is a spacious, level, RV turnout on the Southwest corner of the property (RV and hot tub not included). When my kids were young (see above), I'd fill this hot tub from our pond and heat it with a continuous propane water heater that you can buy today on Amazon or even Home Depot for a few hundred dollars (connect it to a propane tank and plug the 12-volt pump into your car’s cigarette lighter).

There was no need to keep the tub warm between trips to the property because it takes less than an hour to go from freezing (literally, ice in the tub) to 104 degrees with a propane heater.

The pump can also be used to vacuum the tub and filter the tub water and also to top it off with fresh water from the year-round pond, which can then be treated with chlorine or bromine like any other hot tub.

Route to property from Bremerton

I live in Seattle, which made it practical to do day trips. We’d start our outings on the Bremerton ferry, which takes about an hour, giving the family time to relax, eat, and enjoy the ride with the occasional seal, sea lion, or whale sighting. Once in Bremerton, it’s only a 50-minute drive along mostly country roads to the property. On the way home, we typically ate dinner on the ferry (with a glass of wine for the grown-ups).

When we bought this property about 25 years ago, it had been used as a wild Christmas tree farm with several large seed trees. There was a mountain view from the south end of the property at that time which gradually disappeared as the Christmas trees grew into harvestable timber. The view might be recaptured if the appropriate trees are harvested.
