Kinda agricultural but at the same time still a landscape scene. This is a closer in shot of the farm that is visible right below the Cape Horn viewpoint on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge. Not sure who owns this farm or how long they have owned it but if they ever decide to sell the price tag is going to be astronomical as this has to be one of the most scenic pieces of private property in the whole Gorge Scenic Area. There are tons of restrictions on what can be done with the property since it is within the scenic area boundaries but the farm was probably there almost 100 years before the scenic area was created.

The lawn mowers are at work in the upper pastures....

they're sitting on a gold mine. great photo, i'm glad there's restrictions to preserve the land and keep them from selling off to developers who'll cram as many multi-million dollar houses in as they can.

One of the primary rules for new houses is that they can't be visible from the roadways. The last guy who tried to circumvent the rules by building a two story house with wide open views had to tear it down because it was visible from everywhere. Structures that predate the scenic area designation are exempt but any home improvements have to be within specific guidelines.

Even with all the restrictions I would venture that this piece of property will be well into 8 digits if the owners ever sell.
