About this home
Rare development opportunity in sought-after Barnes Heights! Priced to sell at $259,900, this .70-acre R20 homesite offers exciting potential for a custom single-family residence, two-dwelling configuration, or additional middle-housing opportunities, subject to City requirements. Enjoy a beautiful wooded setting with territorial and Cascade Mountain views, including Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Adams and Mt. Hood. Located among high-end and architecturally significant homes, including work by renowned Portland architect Saul Zaik, FAIA, a leading figure in Northwest Regional Modernism celebrated for site-sensitive designs integrating natural materials, light and the surrounding landscape. Seller completed a City of Portland pre-application review in 2017 that included concepts for a single-family residence and two detached dwelling units. Three supporting documents are included with the listing: property survey, proposed NW Hood Ave right-of-way vacation map, and development concepts showing potential home sites and configurations. Water, electricity and cable are available at the road. Septic required; no perc test has been completed. City sewer is believed to be available at Cornell Rd. Platted NW Hood Ave borders the rear of the property but has never been constructed. Seller previously began the process of requesting City vacation of the unused right-of-way. If approved, approximately half of the vacated road area could potentially accrue to this property, increasing the property area. A rare combination of views, privacy, architectural character and development potential in NW Portland at an exceptional price. Buyer to perform due diligence and independently verify all property information and development possibilities.
Forest Park, located between Northwest Portland and the Tualatin Mountains, is a wooded and trail-laced Portland neighborhood with a vast urban forest and ridge-top viewpoints. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Wildwood Trail access near the Lower Macleay Park entrance, where trailheads, map kiosks, and muddy boots set the tone. Nearby pillars include the Pittock Mansion, the Portland Japanese Garden, and the Oregon Zoo, each shaping weekend rhythms. Homes skew toward hillside mid-centuries and Northwest craft traditions, often framed by firs and big-leaf maples. Roads curve along ravines and creeks, and daily life tracks the seasons through canopy shade and rain-slick paths.
