Sixty buildable acres inside thirty acres of mature oak groves, walking trails, and natural slopes. Cascade School District. Corban University adjacent. Sunset views over the Willamette Valley.
Salem has never had a master-planned community of this character. There are subdivisions. There are view lots. There are school districts. There is no single parcel that stacks all three at this scale, inside city limits, with entitlements nearly in hand.
Ninety acres along Turner Road SE, part of the 388-acre Herren Crossing assemblage. Sixty buildable acres of gently rolling, south-facing ground — supportable at three to four units per acre in current RS configuration, with missing-middle flexibility available under HB 2001.
The remaining thirty acres are the product. Mature oak groves that would cost a developer half a million dollars to plant and fifty years to grow. Natural slopes that produce genuine view lots. Walking trails that define the community before a single home is framed. These are not constraints being designed around. They are the reason every home on the buildable sixty sells at a premium.
Tentative plat is complete. Partition recording is imminent. City water, sewer, and PGE distribution sit at the property line. The site is — for all practical purposes — shovel-ready for the right buyer with the right product vision.

Drive times approximate. Salem is Oregon's state capital, third-largest city (pop. 178,865), and the economic center of the mid-Willamette Valley.
We are seller, developer, and long-time Salem principals. Twenty-five-plus years in the Willamette Valley, twenty-six properties, over one million rentable square feet. This parcel is part of our 388-acre Herren Crossing site. We are selling it to fund our own adjacent build.
We are open to monthly lease-option with purchase right, rolling takedown, or structured JV — whatever reflects the value of amenity-anchored residential land inside Salem city limits, in Oregon's top-tier school district, in 97302's move-up demographic, with the entitlement timeline three years ahead of anything comparable.
We're not looking for a production national paying production pricing. We are looking for a builder who understands premium positioning — and wants first look before the broader process opens.
