The Cushman Store was established in 1920 and currently consists of 2650 sq, ft., with the front half historically used for retail and the back half for a variety of uses including living quarters and a restaurant. The Rural Commercial Zoning allows a multitude of uses including
most retail trade, bars/nightclubs/taverns, financial and professional services, restaurants, boat rental and charter, etc. The highest and best use would appear to be a convenience store with some food service to cater to the tourist traffic as well as the onsite RV park and fishing trade.

The seller is offering excellent owner terms to qualified buyers. With a sufficient down, a monthly payment can be negotiated which would be serviced from the existing rental incomes from the RV park and marina, giving the new owner time to establish a new business out of the existing store. There is an additional vacant building (1662 sq. ft.) which can be used for additional ventures.
UMPQUA RIDGE
Address: 2841 DEL RIO ROAD
Location: ROSEBURG, OREGONThe road and power are in, from the riverside entry to the rugged bluff overlooking the legend-
ary stream. This unique site favorably compares with the elite Northwest planned communities, and awaits a prominent and distinctive builder/
developer with the vision and experience to do this project justice and bring it to fruition.
Description: UMPUA RIDGE IS A PREMIER FUTURE COMMUNITY JUST MINUTES FROM INTERSTATE 5 AND CITY OF ROSEBURG WITH STUNNING RIVER VIEW HOME SITES, DEVELOPED HEADQUARTERS AND COMMON AREA RIVERSIDE PARK (OVER 1/2 MILE NORTH UMPQUA FRONTAGE).
THE PROPERTY: 82.53 acres located at 2841 Del Rio Road, Roseburg, Douglas County, Oregon. It's described on the assessor maps as T 26 S, R 6 WWM, S 22 & 23, Tax Lots 101, 103, 104 & 1000. The location is 1.75 mile West of Interstate 5 and Winchester, 3.5 miles Northeast of the North Umpqua River's confluence with the South Umpqua and 5.5 miles North of Downtown Roseburg. Elevation's approximately 400-410 feet above sea level along the river, 420-440' in pasture on west side of road, 540-550' at existing home/shop site and 750-800' along upper bench with commanding river views. The land includes approximately 15 acres of level to gently sloped pasture along river and on the south portion west of the road. Balance is moderately sloped to steep oak covered hillside, with several gentle benches along the ridge ideal for river view home sites. Taxes for 2008 are $1474.18.
THE HEADQUARTERS:Ranch compound consists of a well rocked one acre site with home, carport, arena and shop. The dwelling is a 1990 Fleetwood Manufactured Home, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1620 sq. ft., with a large attached wraparound deck overlooking river and lower pasture. There's an adjacent 24x70 carport with an attached 48x70 arena and a nearby 2400 sq. ft. shop on slab with a split face block stemwall, 2x6 construction and fully wired. The shop features an attached north eave (18x30) and west eave (20x 72), an additional 1980 sq. ft. out of the weather. These improvements are well-suited to future development with possibilities including conversions to sales office, game room, club house, community center and/or a storage facility for boats, trailers, RV's, etc. There is also a metal clad 44x48 horse barn in the upper elevation of the pasture.
THE WATER:With an average mean temperature of 42 degrees in January/February and 70 degrees in July/ August, and an annual rainfall of 33.67", Roseburg's moderate dry climate makes water a premium. Besides the 1/2 mile of river frontage, UMPQUA RIDGE also has metered water available from the Umpqua Basin Water Association, as well as a spring fed pond (12-14' deep) ideal for recreation and a 50 GPM irrigation well and holding tank, suitable for additional fire suppression and community gardening.
THE COMMON AREA PARK:The North Umpqua River is reknowned for its legendary salmon and summer steelhead runs, as well as coho and small mouth bass, and UMPQUA RIDGE includes a 3.73 acre strip of land on the east side of Del Rio Road with over 1/2 mile of river frontage. With holes in the 70-80' range, this valuable resource offers an exceptional opportunity for private recreation to the residents of the development.
THE CELL PHONE TOWER:The parcel includes a 70' cell phone tower disguised as an old growth pine snag located on a 50'x50' fenced lot at the north end of the parcel, well removed from the hilltop development area. The escalating 5 year lease (w/4-5 year options) has been sold, but the 15% contract bonus as additional carriers are added on will pass on to the purchaser of the property.
THE WILDLIFE: There's an abundant diversity of wildlife roaming the hills of UMPQUA RIDGE, including deer
(both white and black-tailed), red and gray fox, wild turkey and racoon. The pond is a natural draw for Canadian geese, wood duck and mallard, while pygmy and barn owl, heron, osprey, quail, bald eagle and red- tailed hawk are also visitors. The brushy draws, rugged mountains, water features and oak savanna provide excellent habitat for the numerous native species.
THE PROJECT:Subject consists of 82.53 acres, which includes 2 one acre tracts already approved for septics and home sites, with the balance soon to be rezoned to 5 acre density, or an additional 16 units. While the final project design will rest with the purchaser, a Planned Unit Development (PUD) would seem to be an ideal fit at UMPQUA RIDGE. Small clusters of one acre home sites maximizing the spectacular river views would provide for the highest value and most desirable lots, and allow over 50 acres of common area for residents. Besides the riverside park and developed headquarters, other open space along the gently sloped upper bench could be used for spectacular river view hiking trails, community gardens, putting greens and/or a small golf course, etc.
The existing oversized circular access has been used historically as fire truck/emergency vehicle turnaround and would adapt well as in/out approach at gated entrance. By limiting the initial plat to 70 acres and 14 lots (plus the two already created), 10 acres could be retained for future development in the level to gently sloped lower pasture west of the road. Subsequent application for zone change to higher density (common in areas along county roads) could alllow for possibility of additional 10 lots (for a total of 26). Even the lower elevations provide possibility of river view.
The road and power are in, from the riverside entry to the rugged bluff overlooking the legendary stream. This unique site favorably compares with the elite Northwest planned communities, and awaits a prominent and distinctive builder/developer with the vision and experience to do this project justice and bring it to fruition.
