"There's a national base of potential buyers for a piece of land like this." While it's not unusual for timber companies to sell off large tracts of timber - Rosboro has decided to divest itself of the Seven Devils tract in favor of acquiring land closer to its other holdings throughout the state, he said - this particular sale stands out because of its views of the ocean and its proximity to cities and recreational facilities. The northernmost parcel of the Seven Devils auction - South Cove - includes more than 253 acres south of Cape Arago State Park. It rises up to 400 feet above Seven Devils Beach, with ridgetop areas reached by logging roads that weave through the area. In addition to the views that make it desirable for seasonal recreation and camping, the tract has 70 acres of spruce and hardwood trees in its southeast portion; much of the remainder has been replanted to Douglas fir Douglas fir: see pine.
