About this home
Calling all dreamers! Rare opportunity to buy a prime 1.8 acre property, with fixer and outbuildings with loads of potential, conveniently situated on Boones Ferry Rd. Plenty of room, and privacy, to build your dream estate. No need to choose between a pool or sport court, there's room for both. Guest house? no problem. ADU to rent out? Room for that as well. Zoned R10, the city will allow up to 16 (!) residences, so you could even have a multi-generational compound for your entire family tree. The trees provide a screen from Boones Ferry and neighbors. Excellent location near shopping, downtown Lake Oswego, Tryon Creek, Lewis & Clark, OHSU, I-5, Hwy 217, downtown Portland, and on the TriMet #38 busline. When walking the property, which was once part of a farm, you would never guess how close you are to the city and services. Buyer to confirm with city what will allow if home is torn down. Value is in the lot, as home is a heavy fixer, with water, electric and septic. A sewer line was installed for the adjacent newer development on SW 18th, (buyer to verify ability to connect to the line.) Currently, there is a barn with 3 bays for equipment/cars, attached to a small studio space, as well as a workshop close by. Workshop has electric running to it. The home has a dirt floor basement/crawlspace that houses a 30-foot well that is not currently being used. Buyer to do all their own due diligence, and confirm with city what can be built if current dwelling is torn down. Shown by appointment only. Also listed under Lots/Land MLS #753100490 [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10250963]
Arnold Creek, located between Tryon Creek State Natural Area and the Tualatin River corridor, is a wooded and residential Portland neighborhood with steep ravines and winding lanes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Arnold Creek Trailhead area, where gravel paths, birdsong, and trail traffic set the daily rhythm. Homes lean toward mid-century and late-20th-century builds tucked into firs and big-leaf maples, with decks and picture windows oriented to the canopy. The terrain shapes a quiet, outdoors-forward lifestyle, with pocket views and frequent creek crossings. Nearby pillars include Lake Theater & Cafe for a low-key night out, Grand Central Bakery for a ritual stop, and Live Wire Radio for a dose of local culture.
