Property Description

Experience sweeping, unobstructed river views from one of Kelso's most captivating development sites. This 5.6-acre parcel sits directly along the Cowlitz River, offering rare riverfront access, partial sandy-beach frontage, and an elevated vantage point overlooking the water. Behind the site lies the iconic Three Rivers Golf Course, creating a uniquely desirable dual-amenity setting that few properties in Southwest Washington can match. Positioned as Phase II of a proven project Phase I was sold to a national homebuilder and is now the established community known as The Retreat at Rivers Edge. This parcel carries forward the momentum of successful residential development in the area. The property's RMF zoning allows for a wide spectrum of development paths, including apartments, townhomes, cottage clusters/middle housing, sliver-lot configurations, and senior or independent-living concepts. The buyer to verify. Major infrastructure is already in place, including water, sewer, power, fiber, and a Corps-approved access road, helping streamline early-stage timelines and reduce development barriers. With the site engineered to accommodate approximately 90–94 units, builders gain flexibility to design the product best aligned with today's market demands. The surrounding corridor continues to experience reinvestment, with improved access to I-5, enhanced transportation routes, and future planned amenities at the neighboring golf course. Its close proximity to major employment centers, schools, and the expanding Kelso/Longview commercial district makes this location ideal for workforce housing, lifestyle-oriented communities, or modern multifamily and middle-housing solutions. As one of the region's last significant riverfront development opportunities, this parcel combines natural beauty, proven demand, and zoning versatility.
