About this home
Calling all nature lovers. 5.25 acres of peace and privacy just 6 minutes from I-205. Imagine quiet morning sipping coffee on your deck while watching deer graze below and eagles soar overhead. Views - from the city skyline to the tree line - abound from the home’s soaring windows. Outside, find trails for walking and contemplation, a huge garden, and dozens of fruit trees. There’s no urban noise, just the sound of bees doing their work. Do your own work or expand your hobbies in the approx. 24’x48’ shop with separate electric meter. Inside, the beautiful hand carved front door and turned walnut stair railing set the tone for rustic sophistication. 3 fireplaces of stone and marble, along with zonal heating and cooling, make any season feel cozy. Are you in need of a literal and figurative breath of fresh air? Welcome home.
Truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a slice of heaven on top of the world! Feel as if you are far away from it all but in reality you are so close to everything you need. 5+ private acres greet you upon arrival via the private treed drive. Towering windows welcome you into the custom built home and morph into endless panes with downtown Portland views in the distance. Soaring vaulted tongue & groove wood ceilings, gorgeous hardwood flooring, natural rock fireplace surrounds and open greatroom give the vibe of contemporary lodge-like living. Perfectly proportioned main floor features open living with entertainer's deck and a luxurious primary suite with fireplace, sitting area, walk-in closet, soaking tub, walls of windows and French doors leading to your own private deck with territorial and city views. Downstairs with formal 2 1/2 story entry, family/media room with wood fireplace, outside entry to patio, wetbar with sink and beverage fridge. Outside you'll fall in love with the bubbling waterfalls in the pond, unique mature landscaping, huge detached workshop/garage with Kubota tractor (includes implements), riding lawnmower and additional covered parking, a true gardener's garden area with cherries, apples, plums, pears, rasp/blue/black berries, hazelnuts, figs and more! Stroll the grounds through hundreds of evergreens (future marketable timber) or soak in the sun while nature gazing from the deck at birds, squirrels, deer and the occasional bald eagles. Newer 80gpm well, newer mechanicals, exterior painted in '22, exterior power window shades in DR and primary suite. This property has the definitive 'Wow Factor'! Welcome home!
