Tiller Town (Oregon) – A Rare Investment & Redevelopment Opportunity
Tiller is a historic small town located in Douglas County, South West of Oregon, USA, nestled within the scenic Umpqua National Forest and adjacent to lands managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
Positioned at an elevation of 1,020 feet, Tiller benefits from a mild, year-round climate and strategic accessibility. The community is directly connected by the historic Tiller Trail Highway (Oregon Route 227), which links to Interstate-5 and Oregon State Highway 62. This convenient access makes Tiller not only a gateway to nature and recreation, but also a highly attractive site for investment, redevelopment, and long-term growth.
After decades of careful land assembly and consolidation, nearly the entire town is now offered for sale (excluding just two tax lots). This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a large, diverse real estate portfolio with multiple zoning designations—rural commercial, industrial, residential, agricultural, timberland, and natural resource parcels.

257.02 contiguous acres (28 tax lots)
Nearly 1 mile of river frontage along the South Umpqua River & Elk Creek

13 commercial lots and 4 industrial lots

Note Offering:
Note Balance: $2,236,990
Security: Trust Deed on property in and near Tiller, Douglas County, Oregon
Equity (Down Payment): $1,613,010
Annual Interest Rate: 8% simple, based on a 365-day year

Equity Investment Offering
As an alternative to the debt-secured Note Offering, investors may also participate via an Equity Investment Model:
Investor contribution: $2,236,990
In return, the investor receives a direct equity ownership stake in the project, benefiting from its long-term upside potential
Equity participation allows for capital appreciation in addition to ongoing income streams from future development, leasing, or operational activities
Specific terms—including shareholding ratios, governance rights, and profit participation—will be presented and negotiated during a private meeting once the investor confirms interest
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This dual-structured investment—Note or Equity—gives investors the flexibility to choose between:
Stable, fixed income returns (via the Note Offering)
Long-term growth and value creation (via the Equity Offering)
With its unique combination of scale, natural beauty, accessibility, and redevelopment potential, Tiller Town represents a rare chance to invest in and revitalize a historic Oregon community.
