Four Land Properties Worth Looking at on the Oregon Coast

For buyers considering buying land on the Oregon Coast, maybe your dream is waking up to the sound of the ocean; maybe it is having enough acreage for horses, gardens, trails, or simply room to breathe. Or perhaps the dream is smaller and more specific: a cleared lot in Gearhart where someday you can build a beach house just a short walk from town and the sand.

Buying land is different from buying an existing home. Before falling in love with a view, a piece of forest, or a particular building site, buyers need to understand access, utilities, septic, zoning, easements, wetlands, development restrictions, and the practical realities of building near the coast.

The following four properties we currently represent offer a glimpse into the many ways your Oregon Coast dream could take shape.

1. 88 Acres Along the Lewis & Clark River Near AstoriaLewis and Clark Rd TL 1600, Astoria

88 acres | $475,000 | Learn More

For buyers dreaming about space, privacy, and a genuine connection to the landscape, this 88-acre property south of Astoria stands apart. The property features extensive, meandering Lewis & Clark River frontage and is currently used for cattle grazing. The remains of a hay cover structure remain.

Located approximately 10 miles south of downtown Astoria, the property offers an appealing balance: substantial acreage and a rural setting. The property includes an easement that provides access to the southernmost portion of the land via Lot 1602. As with any large rural property, buyers should carefully investigate zoning, development potential, access, environmental considerations, water, and other site-specific requirements before assuming how the property can be used.

2. A Multi-Tax-Lot Opportunity in Svensen92269 Svensen Market Rd, Astoria

15.67 acres | $365,000 | Learn More

Just east of Astoria in the community of Svensen, this property encompasses more than 15 acres across three tax lots and has KS-RCR zoning. One of the lots includes the Svensen Mobile Home Park.

An important distinction for prospective buyers: the mobile home structures are owned by the tenants and are not included in the sale. Behind the park, two additional large  tax lots provide wooded, vacant acreage accessed by easement. 

3. Build Your Gearhart Beach House

0 B St, Gearhart

4,791 square feet | $185,000 | Learn More

This vacant lot in West Gearhart's coveted Alphabet Streets is just three blocks from town and approximately five blocks from the beach. The lot is flat-ish, recently cleared, and surrounded by established homes.

For someone dreaming of building a custom Gearhart Oregon beach house, a vacant lot like this offers an opportunity an existing home cannot: starting with a blank canvas.

We specifically advise buyers to perform their own due diligence, which is an important reminder when purchasing Oregon Coast vacant land.

4. Two Acres With River Access Near Astoria

36655 King Kong Ln, Astoria

2.01 acres | $149,900 | Learn more

For buyers who want a smaller piece of land without giving up the feeling of being surrounded by nature, this 2.01-acre parcel near Highway 202 offers another compelling option.

Positioned on high ground in rural Astoria, the property has access to the Wallooskee River, creating opportunities to enjoy the outdoors close to home. Even better for a future builder, septic approval is already in place, with a drain field easement benefiting the parcel. Electricity and a water meter are also on site.
