Own a piece of History - the Mapleton Ranger Station property, circa 1934. This complex was one of twenty three in total built in Oregon as a result of the Civilian Conservation Corp program established in 1933 to provide jobs during the Great Depression. Cornerstones of the construction can still be seen around the property in the two ranger residences, the stone built bench, pathway and fire cache warehouse now known as the studio. Housing rangers until 1973, this one-of-a-kind property includes 2 homes, a two-story day-light basement office building, a 4 bay shop, 4 car garage & studio/tool shed. Several of these buildings are on the national registry of historic places. The main home, formerly known as the Main Ranger Residence remains original in style and character. With it's six-over-one windows, hardwood floors, cornice moulding, widely overhanging eaves and rectangular one and one-half story floor plan, this truly represents the bungalow style popular in the Northwest throughout the 1910's-1930's. Take this property and restore it to it's original presence or make it into your next business venture. The 2 bedroom/1 bath assistant ranger's residence is currently being rented. The daylight basement office building could easily work for your business or convert to rental income as well. The 4 bay shop and 4 car garage give you room to store work vehicles and equipment and the studio/tool shed round out this former forest service ranger station complex. The majority of the acreage stretches up the hillside to the west, where a replant was done in approximately 2005. Just 15 minutes from Florence and less than an hour from Eugene, sitting a short walk from the Siuslaw River, it's the perfect location. Buyer to perform any due diligence.
