Architect-designed modern retreat with attached artist studio (or guest room/home office) on over six wooded acres with 825 feet of Upper Nehalem River frontage in the high valley of Oregon’s Coast Range. Constructed with foot-thick Aerated Autoclaved Concrete for exceptional insulation and durability, this one-of-a-kind 1354 square foot home features American Clay interior finishes, custom sliding barn doors crafted from local wood, and handcrafted maple-root accents throughout. Enjoy a cozy wood stove, a two-person sauna, and a spacious covered deck with tropical hardwood decking and a granite dining table—perfect for entertaining or quiet reflection. The land includes a shaded meadow ideal for gatherings, a fire pit, or relaxing in a hammock. Multiple storage sheds, two RV electrical hookups, and room to park give many options to enjoy the outdoors. Meandering riverfront trail to enjoy river floats and campouts on your private piece of Pacific Northwest beauty. Wildlife abounds with seasonal salmon runs, elk sightings across the river, and the sounds of owls at dusk. Pure drinking water is supplied directly from Oregon rainfall with a drilled well as a second option. All of this is just 40 minutes from Intel, Nike, and other major tech hubs, offering the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. Five minutes to historic Vernonia where all the basic necessities of small town living are available as well as local shops and restaurants, Vernonia Lake, Linear Trails and several community events. Come enjoy your own private piece of nature and small town living today!
