Architecturally designed and completely rebuilt from the foundation up, this distinctive Heceta Beach home was finished in 2025 with a focus on minimalist design, thoughtful function, and connection to its coastal setting. Just a five-minute walk to the beach, the 1,440 sq ft home offers 2 bedrooms, 2 beautifully finished bathrooms, and a spacious upper-level living area designed to capture sweeping ocean views. Ocean views are also enjoyed from multiple windows throughout the home and from the deck. The light-filled interior features high ceilings, large-scale tile flooring throughout, a streamlined kitchen with integrated refrigerator, abundant concealed storage, and clean, modern finishes. Luxury bathrooms feature extensive tile work, including a soaking tub, while a skylight and thoughtfully placed windows bring natural light throughout. Two mini-split heads provide efficient heating and cooling, and the washer and dryer are included. Outside, the naturalized coastal landscape complements the home's modern architecture and offers an easy-care approach to beach living. The exterior siding is no maintenance aluminum and the custom windows are aluminum clad. A large deck provides generous outdoor living space, with additional storage possibilities beneath the home and deck. With no HOA, the property offers a level of flexibility that can be hard to find this close to the coast, including potential for short-term rental use. Off-street and RV parking with EV electrical hookup add further versatility. A rare combination of unique architectural design, ocean views, and easy beach access in sought-after Heceta Beach.

About Heceta
Beach
Heceta Beach, located between Florence and Yachats, is a coastal and residential Florence neighborhood with broad sandy shoreline and wind-shaped dunes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the pullouts and trailheads along US-101 near Heceta Beach County Park, where beach walkers, surfers, and day-trippers cluster by picnic tables and dune paths. Homes lean toward low-slung beach cottages and contemporary retreats set back behind shore pines. The rhythm here follows tide charts, fog lines, and long walks toward the Siuslaw River mouth. Nearby, the Heceta Head Lighthouse and Sea Lion Caves add a distinctly Oregon Coast sense of place. Cape Creek Bridge and the headland viewpoints frame daily drives with ocean panoramas.
