These 35 acres have been ''home'' to the seller for years, though that feels too small a word for what this place truly is. Tucked along the Oregon coast in South Beach, it's a rare pocket of pristine old-growth forest—Douglas-fir, Sitka spruce, and western hemlock rising like quiet giants. Their canopy is so dense the forest floor stays cool even on the hottest summer days. No clear-cuts, no roads, no structures. Just the land as it's been for centuries. A web of soft, needle-padded trails winds through the trees, inviting slow walks and sudden stillness. Follow any path and you'll hear Lost Creek before you see it—a gentle, constant murmur that grows into a clear ribbon of water slipping over mossy stones and fallen logs. Sit on the bank long enough... and the creek becomes the only clock you'll ever need. The ocean is close enough to taste the salt in the air, yet the forest holds its own weather: fog drifting between trunks, shafts of light breaking through at golden hour, the hush of wind high in the branches. Deer move like shadows at dawn; ravens call from the ridgeline; owls trade shifts at dusk. This is sanctuary in its purest form-serene, self-contained, and alive. The owner is selling because the time feels right to pass it on. If you've ever craved a place where the world quiets to the sound of water and wings, where every step feels like the first ever taken, this is it. There are two access points for this property: one at the end of Chittum Drive, the other off 143rd Street crosses private property. Utilities referenced are on the Chittum Drive side. Both tax lots passed perc tests. No septic has been applied for by the owner. The water company said an owner can tap into the water line for $5,000 (in 2023).
