Doing a
Chelan County parcel search
for Geo ID 261509000000 shows that the current owner of the land is Weyerhaeuser. The appraised value for tax purposes is $21,498. In 1990 the timber value was assessed and came back with a number 12,738 (seems too low for value in dollars so maybe that's trees on the property?). The roads are already in place, although it appears the very start of the road off of Highway 2 passes through BNSF land, and then very briefly passes through US National Forest Land, so you would want to make sure there is an easement that would continue to allow access. There is a nice spot at the very southern edge (top) of the property boundary on the way to Arrowhead that is relatively flat and near a water source (although I doubt there are any surface water rights with the property, but may qualify for a permit-exempt domestic well use; may not work for commercial hut). Looks like a good spot for a yurt (or McMansion) whoever gets to it first.
If this idea gains traction and is pursued, I will gladly volunteer to help with any water right assements, hydrologic/hydrogeologic evlauation or well permitting issues.
