The listing remarks
Recently appraised at $870,000, this immaculate property on 5 secluded acres invites you to start your day with beautiful sunrises and abundant wildlife wandering right past your backdoor. As you arrive home, a gated entry—anchored by historic lamp posts reclaimed from the University of Oregon—welcomes you. Step through the custom black walnut front door into a meticulously kept home featuring a newer 2020 roof, perfectly set up for comfortable rural living. This property is a true haven for hobbyists, mechanics, and aspiring homesteaders. Spend your afternoons cultivating a rich harvest from your own producing orchard, brimming with Asian, Bartlett, and Comice pears; an array of apples including Honey Crisp, Mutzu, Jonathan, and Macintosh; and sweet, thornless marionberries. The upper acreage is even permitted for animals or growing your own Christmas trees. If you love to build or tinker, you will be right at home with two substantial outbuildings: a 40'x35' wood shop and a 29'x25' metal shop.Beyond the quiet country setting—where sections of the perimeter fence are intentionally left down for passing fawns—this property offers unmatched peace of mind. You will be prepared for any type of weather with reliable, heavy-duty infrastructure. Year-round comfort is guaranteed with a 24kW automatic Generac whole-home generator, a new HVAC system, and a fully owned, full 1000-gallon propane tank. Coupled with a dependable newly drilled well feeding a 3,000-gallon concrete holding tank, this turnkey property is ready for you to simply move in and enjoy the lifestyle.
