Description
This is the 'Mile High Five' (5± Acres). Experience a rare opportunity to own a pristine mountain retreat in Joseph, Oregon, directly bordering the Wallowa National Forest. Located on the north face of Mount Howard, this property offers exceptional privacy, seclusion, and immediate access to over 367,000 acres of protected wilderness, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, or anyone seeking a true mountain sanctuary. A major and rare advantage of this property is its Wallowa County Planning Department “Perfected” Zone Permit (#14-03), providing a streamlined, compliant path for future development. This is an increasingly hard-to-obtain approval in this area and a true golden ticket for building your dream home where others cannot. The land features year-round natural water, with Prairie Creek and the Estes Ditch flowing along the eastern and western boundaries. Abundant wildlife—including elk, deer, and native bird species—frequently pass through the property, creating an immersive and authentic wilderness setting. With unmatched forest access, reliable water sources, and breathtaking surroundings, Mile High Five delivers a rare combination of build-ready certainty, beauty, recreation, and tranquility in one of Oregon’s most sought-after mountain regions.
