Property Highlights

With a total of nearly 400 acres, Bradwood is a unique property located near Highway 30. Of these 400 acres, 50 acres are zoned for marine industrial use and have the potential for a zoning change/expansion if desired. It is estimated that the flat waterfront land could be doubled to about 100 acres, with the remaining roughly 300 acres mostly sloped forest land. The site is served by an existing mill pond that can be filled with existing dredge sand that is already on site. This dredge sand could also be used to raise the entire 50 acres by a foot. Hunt Creek flows through the property and once provided power to Oregon's first commercial sawmill founded in 1843. By 1930 the area had grown and was established as the town of Bradwood. Though the mill eventually closed in 1962, in Bradwood's heyday, it boasted over 50 homes, as well as a post office. Located at River Mile 38, Bradwood is 22 miles upstream from Astoria and is above the saltwater line. The existing pilings represent a dock area of 150 +/- feet deep by 500 +/- feet wide located at the Clifton Channel, with a water depth of 35ft to 40ft at the last row of piling. The rail connection from Bradwood to Wauna could be brought up to operational condition but is not in service today.
