12 Acres w/Stream Off-Grid Remote Hunting Property BLM Land E.WA - Orondo/Badger Mountain

mxitman · May 16, 2024

Selling my off-grid remote hunting land, owned this for 13 years and bought it from a fellow member on here. I go up for fall Mule Deer season mostly, it has a spring fed creek that runs through at the bottom of the valley, I've cleared an area for parking and setting up a tent. The nice part about this is the gated access, don't have random people coming through. Road and gate are maintained by the property owner's association $75 a year. I've left stuff there over the years and never had any problems with theft or anything.

Requires a key for access, and I'm in the process of moving back east so need to find a realtor to give access or possibly meet up when I'm back in June or July.

No restrictions about using a creek as a water source. This creek is fed by a spring and flow depends on the summer sometimes is very small, but The "main water table" is about 100 feet down even less. When and only when creek dries up you can dig a hole at the most 5 feet and you will have water - I did this in a middle of hot summer. We always bring in a 50-gallon drum for potable water, but many others with cabins filter rainwater or have a cistern filled.
Community well is about 1-1/2 to 2 miles back towards entrance.
One of the property owners nearby drilled a well on the top of parcel # 4 or 5 and hit the water table around 120 feet down.
The quickest way to get to the 12 acres is to use the gate right of the highway 2 about 1/2 mile from Orondo, again you need a key to get to it.
