Set on 5.82 private, wooded acres and backing 520 acres of Department of Natural Resources land, this custom Trout Lake home offers the kind of privacy and direct access to nature that’s increasingly hard to find in the Gorge. Step out your back door onto DNR land for hiking, wildlife watching, and total quiet — with zero neighbors behind you. The 2,572 sq ft home offers exactly the floor plan most of us are looking for: vaulted ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and a cozy pellet stove for those Trout Lake winters. The kitchen is set up to actually cook in — built-in double ovens, a cooktop, solid surface counters, and stainless appliances, all opening to a light-filled dining space with art-glass pendants. The primary suite offers a private bath with a soaking tub, while the second full bath features a glass-and-brass walk-in shower. Car and Gorge toy storage won’t be a problem here: a 3-car garage attached to the home, a detached 36×24 garage with workshop, and a 48×24 shop with RV/boat storage — ideal for gear, a shop, or your hobbies. Zoned RR2 (2-acre minimum), the 5.82-acre parcel offers real potential to subdivide — a compelling option for multi-generational living, with room to build a second home for family while keeping the privacy of the existing residence. Trout Lake is a little town located at the base of Mt. Adams. This organic valley is known for close proximity to recreation, a great school (K-12), and a wonderful community. This is a property that you don’t want to miss.
