Location Advantages:
Little Nestucca River Highway (Hwy 130) does not get the weekend traffic back-up that occurs on Highway 18 to Lincoln City and areas south. Also, the summertime fog zone ends before it reaches the property.
The zoning results in low taxes since timber acreage is taxed mainly when trees are cut.

Water Supply:
Water is supplied from a spring well with a powerful irrigation pump and supplemented by a 32-PSI gravity water system, which is needed from June through September. This system is also useful during power outages or when the home is off-grid. A 7-gallon-per-minute deep well has been drilled, but it still needs a pump and a pressure tank.

The Grounds:
A network of trails has been created throughout the property, including a half mile of grass-paved roads that an ATV or small 4-wheel drive may navigate.
A summer footbridge makes crossing the river easy or dangling your feet in the water. Massive concrete supports remain from a prior vehicle bridge. The Dept. of Water Resources has approved the construction of a new one.

The garden has terraced raised-bed planters, a high-fenced orchard, and built-in planters on the decks.
Optionally, the property may be delivered fully equipped for grounds maintenance. Available is a 35-HP tractor with a flail mower extendable 26″ to the side for trail and road maintenance, a box scraper, a finish mower, landscape rake implements, two chainsaws, three power mowers, three weed whackers, and a portable generator.

The Shop Building:
The second structure on the property consists of a 3200 sq. ft., post-and-beam, two-story shop building, fully wired on the main level, with its electric service. It has a garage on each level. The main shop room and adjacent workroom are insulated, drywalled and have 20-amp and 30-amp heater outlets. The shop has a 10″ radial arm saw, a 10″ table saw, a 10″ band saw, a large multiple-speed drill press, and a 6″ long-bed jointer.

Home Floor Plan:
The main level has an open floor plan with living, dining, and kitchen. Two bedrooms and a full bath occupy an enclosed alcove. A partly-finished master suite with a waterfall view has its exterior entrance. The new owners can finish it with their choice of trim, flooring, bathroom tile or marble, cabinets, and sink faucets. A whirlpool tub is installed, and a Kohler toilet and two sinks are on site. These fixtures are all light grey.

The kitchen has oak flooring, hickory shaker-style cabinets, and tiled counters. On the main floor, a room is plumbed for a washer, dryer, and sink. It may also serve as an office. The owner, a home designer, and a furniture maker created several hand-crafted built-ins.

An L-shaped staircase leads to a lower level with a den, laundry room, future sauna space, basement, bonus room, and a second master suite with a tiled bathroom and cherry cabinets.
The third story consists of a partly-finished grand master suite with a waterfall view. This space has finished electric. The vaulted ceiling is ready for the owner’s choice of wood planking. The bathroom includes a two-person soaking tub (almond color). The matching toilet is on-site. It is also framed for an enclosed separate shower.

All three master suites have private decks, which were built recently.

There are four water heaters. (1) For the lower-level bath and main-level laundry and kitchen. (2) For the main-level bath and lower-level laundry. (3) For the main-level master suite. (4) For the upper-level master suite.

Expansion and Remodeling:
Over the past 34 years, the designer/builder owner has expanded the original 2-story, 2800 sq.ft. building into a 3-story, architecturally unique, 4500+ sq.ft.home, with all bedrooms as wings, creating ideal privacy.

To complete the two unfinished master suites, paint, trim, flooring, plumbing, cabinetry, tile work, and some lights will be needed.
Since the expansion was done in several stages over the years, some remedial work will be required on siding, roofing, and decking. Also, some windows and the garage door will need to be replaced.
