Tucked into 4.5 acres where old-growth fir gives way to pine and oak savannah, this property offers something increasingly rare: real privacy without real isolation. You’re 20 minutes from Lyle and 40 from Hood River and The Dalles—close enough for coffee and groceries, far enough to hear only wind and birdsong.The custom log home was built on site with lodgepole pine milled near Mt. Adams, and it shows in every joint and beam. A two-story stone fireplace with a majestic 30-foot river rock chimney anchors an open floor plan lit by windows on every side; step outside to covered porches front and back, framed for sunset views. Two bedrooms, one bath, vaulted ceilings, a wood stove and heat pump for every season, and Starlink internet if you still need to check in with the world. The attached carport and shop, wired for 110V, could easily become an additional bedroom. A separate one-bedroom guest cabin—full kitchen, full bath, its own gate and Level 2 EV charger—sits hidden among the trees, ideal for family, guests, or rental income.For animal lovers, this land was made for it. Four fenced enclosures, three barns and stalls with frost-free water and power, and pasture suited to alpacas, goats, sheep, or horses. A 27×36 deer-fenced garden is already producing berries, vegetables, and herbs—a true gardener’s oasis. Rock shelves invite you to watch the sunset, and a trail leads down to year-round Silvas Creek and a private swimming hole—the kind of spot that makes you stop scrolling and just sit for a while.Add a 2023 electric hot tub, RV hookup, greenhouse, multiple outbuildings—all with durable metal roofs—and a pad ready for a tiny home, and you have a property that isn’t just a home, it’s a way of life. For anyone dreaming of raising animals, growing their own food, and living close to the land without giving up connection to town, this is worth a serious look.
