2011 Ending as a Great Time to Purchase Acreage
As 2011 winds down the team at WREDCO wants to remind you of just a few of the great reasons to buy...
As 2011 winds down the team at WREDCO wants to remind you of just a few of the great reasons to buy land right now. Real estate prices have fallen to levels not seen in year/decades in some markets and many commentators are stating that prices have reached the bottom. If you are looking to finance your purchase acreage interest rates have never been as low as they currently are allowing purchasers more buying power. The value of owning timberlands to help diversity portfolios is getting more and more attention nationally and many new generations of timberland owners are reaping the rewards of owning their own tree farm.
WREDCo is thrilled at how many families have chosen to purchase land from us in 2011.
In fact, every 3 days a new family purchases acreage from WREDCO, allowing the new owners the opportunity to own a dual investment in both land and trees. We certainly hope you can join the list of satisfied families who have purchased property from us this year or in the near future!

Why Passing the Template Test is Important for Acreage in Western Oregon
If you are looking to purchase acreage that is zoned forestry in western Oregon and want to build a...
If you are looking to purchase acreage that is zoned forestry in western Oregon and want to build a home then it is very important to understand if the property is buildable through the “template test”. What is the “template test”? Simply put, it is a process which typically uses a 160-acre square centered over your property in which that square touches a specific number of tax parcels and residential dwellings created or built before January 1, 1993. The standard “template test” for most counties in western Oregon is 11 lots and 3 residential dwellings.
“Template tests” are just part of the process to build a home on forestry zoned acreage in western Oregon and each county may have other additional requirements. However, the “template test” is one of the chief requirements that all counties are going to require you to pass to start the process of being able to build a home on rural acreage.
For more information on template tests and land for sale in Oregon by WREDCO please contact Bradley Johnson at (253) 924-2122 or bradley.johnson@weyerhaeuser.com.

Many of our customers aren't familiar with acreage and really have a difficult time understanding how large an acre is? An acre is 43,560 square feet and was approximately the amount of land tillable by one person behind an ox in one day. A good way to visual acreage is using football fields and one football field (57,600 square feet with end zones) covers 1.32-acres. So if you are looking to purchase 5-acres you can visualize about 3.75 football fields. 10-acres is roughly 7.5 football fields, 20-acres is approximately 15 football fields and 40-acres would be the size of 30.25 football fields. Regardless of what size acreage property you are looking to purchase, it is good to remember that acreage really is larger than most of us realize!
