Mary's River Estates is a rural neighborhood of
approximately 400 residents, located just west of Philomath, OR
on the north side of Oregon highway 20.
Mary's River
Estates Property Owners Association, Ltd (MREPOA) is an
Oregon non-profit corporation. Any property owner whose land
abuts Mary's River Estates Road or is located within Mary's
River Estates or Mary's River Estates First Addition is
eligible for membership. Current membership dues are $10.00
per year. The Property Owners Association was created to
offer the structure of a large, volunteer neighborhood group
to residents interested in safety and land use and other
community issues. The primary focus of the Association has
been to offer education, insight and power for residents
concerned about the process by which they can obtain
broad-based representation. The Association was designed to
be affordable and inclusive, rather than exclusive.
Mary's River
Estates Road District comprises a section of
approximately 5.5 miles of roads that serve a .96 square
mile rural residential area with a population of
approximately 400 residents. This Coast Range land, just
west of Philomath, Oregon off highway 20, was
initially owned by Valley Farms, Inc. It became an approved
Benton County subdivision on July 31, 1967 with “dedicated
streets and park to public use without reservation or
restriction” with each lot one acre or larger.
Mary's River
Estates Road District is not the same body as the
Property Owners Association - the Road District is a legal,
state recognized, tax collection body. The Road District can
spend money on road-related concerns only.
