Perched on a high bluff overlooking the Washougal River, this extraordinary property offers breathtaking views, exceptional privacy, & a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. Set on over 5 usable acres w/approx. 500ft of river frontage & walking trails 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, Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, & expansive windows that capture the surrounding beauty. The kitchen is beautifully appointed w/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!
