Perched on a high bluff overlooking the Washougal River, this extraordinary property offers breathtaking views, exceptional privacy, and a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. Set on over 5 usable acres w/approx. 500ft of river frontage, this is more than a home, it’s a private retreat. A high bank trail leads from the property to the Washougal River. Whether your passions include fishing, kayaking, rafting, hunting, hiking, wildlife photography, or simply enjoying the outdoors, this property offers a rare opportunity to live where others come to escape. Located within a private gated community of just 18 homesites w/a community park this is not your typical neighborhood. Residents value privacy, independence, and a shared appreciation for nature. Nearly a mile down a scenic gravel road above the Washougal River, you’ll feel worlds away from everyday life while remaining close to modern conveniences. The nearly 3,000sf home features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, soaring vaulted ceilings, rich Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, and expansive windows that capture the surrounding beauty. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with granite countertops and opens to the main living areas. The main level primary suite offers a private slider to the deck and a spacious ensuite bath with a soaking tub. A pellet stove adds warmth & charm to the living room. Outdoor living is exceptional with a large river-view deck, front deck, and two additional rear decks. The property also includes a greenhouse, garden space, dog run, second garage/pole barn, and plenty of room for animals, hobbies, recreation, or future expansion. This property won’t appeal to everyone & that’s exactly what makes it special. The ideal buyer is someone seeking a true connection to nature, abundant wildlife, & the peace that comes with forest living. Yet despite its secluded setting, downtown Washougal is just 15 mins away, & PDX Airport is approx 45 mins away. Be sure to bring your walking shoes!
