ADDITIONAL PROPERTY INFO:  

  • Russian Fireplace - The home was thoughtfully engineered with long‑term durability and efficiency in mind. The Russian fireplace is not only a unique architectural feature but also an exceptionally efficient heating system designed to retain and radiate warmth for hours. The passive‑cooling tubes were an innovative addition at the time of construction, helping regulate indoor temperatures naturally and reducing reliance on mechanical systems. 
  • The daylight basement, built with a separate entrance and full living accommodations, adds significant functional flexibility - ideal for multigenerational living, guest quarters, or even an income‑producing rental.  This space includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, making it ideal for short‑term or long‑term stays
  • The home sits on more than 21 acres of forested land under a forest deferral, which provides meaningful tax benefits while promoting responsible land stewardship. Approx. 3 level acres surround the house itself. 
  • Overall, the structure reflects a blend of stunning architectural craftsmanship, energy‑conscious design, and practical versatility.
  • The property is equipped with LeafGuard gutters, a low‑maintenance upgrade that keeps debris out and helps protect the home from water‑related issues - a practical benefit that often goes unseen.
  • A large circular driveway provides ample parking for guests, making it easy to accommodate gatherings of any size. Inside the home, the spacious layout and open living areas are well‑suited for entertaining.
  • A 15' x 15' concrete pad with electrical service is situated near the house, ready for a future wood shed, storage building, or workshop.

  •  Overlooking the Sandy River Valley. The valley stretches out below the home like a living landscape painting. Morning fog drifts through as the sun rises over Mt.

  • Twenty Acres of Your Own Private Forest. It’s rare to find this much land so close to the city. Trails, quiet corners, wildlife, and total privacy - it’s like having your own nature preserve.
  • Wildlife Visitors That Feel Like Old Friends. Elk grazing at dawn, deer wandering through, bobcats slipping by, eagles soaring overhead. You don’t have to go looking for nature - it comes to you.
  • A Daylight Basement That Can Do It All. Guest suite, multigenerational living, private retreat, or income‑producing rental - the separate entrance and full setup make it incredibly versatile.
  • The Deck - a Daily Mini‑Vacation. Morning coffee, evening wine, summer dinners, stargazing nights. The deck is where time slows down and the view does all the talking.
  • Adventure in Every Direction. Raft the Sandy River, hike the Gorge, ski Mt. Hood, explore waterfalls, or head into Portland for world‑class dining. Everything fun is within easy reach.
  • Peaceful Country Living, City Convenience. You get the quiet, the space, the stars at night - but you’re still only 25 miles from Portland’s culture, restaurants, and shopping.
  • A Home Built With Heart and Thoughtfulness. From passive‑cooling tubes to handcrafted details, this home was designed with intention, creativity, and care. You can feel it the moment you walk in.
  • A Property That Feels Like a Retreat. Whether you’re relaxing on the deck, wandering the forested acreage, or watching wildlife from the window, the whole place feels like a peaceful escape from the everyday.
