Oregon Wine Country Retreat
From Amy McCormick
Nestled in the foothills of the coastal mountain range, this stunning 11-acre property offers breathtaking panoramic views of a verdant valley, vineyards, and forests, extending all the way to the Cascade Range and Mt. Jefferson. Ancient 200-year-old oak trees dot the landscape, enhancing the peaceful and serene atmosphere of this extraordinary land at the western edge of Oregon's Yamhill-Carlton AVA.
The property features three eco-friendly buildings designed to harmonize with nature, each inviting in views from all four directions. The main residence, an efficient 1,500 square foot passive solar home, boasts floor-to-ceiling 6-foot windows and doors that wrap around a corner, framing the picturesque valley. A curved glass Danish wood stove provides warmth on chilly mornings, while dual sliding doors open to a deck with a post-and-beam pergola, offering unparalleled views. Just steps from the kitchen, organic raised beds are ready for planting, embodying the property’s commitment to sustainability. The home’s European-style design radiates simple elegance and comfort.
The second building is a 950 square foot retreat that captivates visitors with its natural beauty and tranquility. Seven-foot sliders and expansive windows frame views of the valley and horses grazing in the fields below. The space features natural lath and clay walls, a sophisticated galley kitchen, a luxurious bath with a Finlandia sauna, and a tongue-and-groove fir ceiling. This serene space is perfect for work, creativity, small gatherings, or yoga. A large deck with an integrated fire pit fosters connection and community.
The third structure, a charming 12x16 gem, offers a large view through double French doors and corner windows. With solid beams, a tongue-and-groove ceiling, and fir trim, it’s an ideal space for a home office, creative studio, or guest room.
All three buildings are united by their design elements, featuring board-and-batten siding, metal roofs, Sierra-Pacific windows and doors, and Hubbardton Forge lighting fixtures. Additionally, the property includes a 24x35 ft insulated metal shop and garage, perfect for projects or storage.
Located next to the renowned Menefee Vineyards, the land may even have potential for a hobby vineyard. Despite its secluded feel, this exceptional property is just 75 minutes from Portland International Airport and 90 minutes from the Oregon Coast, making it an accessible yet tranquil retreat.
