Fire Tower Ranch exemplifies a harmonious blend of functionality and environmental stewardship. Where selective logging on 120 acres has mitigated fire risks, the surrounding area has been thoughtfully rejuvenated. Additionally, 40 acres have undergone forestry mulching and seeding of native grasses and foliage, enhancing the natural ecosystem. New road infrastructure includes a freshly graded gravel road with three culverts and drainage, ensuring smooth access throughout the property. An additional access road extending 1.1 miles from the top of the ranch offers ease of movement to the west side. The 379 acres are fully fenced, with significant portions having been recently replaced and improved. Blink security cameras offer peace of mind and convenience when monitoring the ranch from afar, while the availability of Starlink satellite internet with a signal repeater ensures seamless connectivity even in remote surroundings.
