17616 Abiqua Rd NE, Silverton, OR 97381

Built on a bluff above Abiqua Creek, this architecturally designed, one-level, South-facing home feels like it’s in a remote section of Colorado. Convenient to population centers yet so far from the madding crowd. With a highly functional layout including an attached ADU with garages near the kitchen, the home flows logically from one space to another. Large windows offer constant views and the sound of two year-round rapids, a gentle reminder of the flow of water and time. You enter the great room through 9’ carved Hickory doors. A gourmet kitchen (2 DWs) with a huge, curved granite counter is designed for easy entertainment. The master B/R has a unique view and deck, as well as a large bathroom with jacuzzi, shower and sauna, while a 2nd B/R is a smaller master with a full bath. An attached, private ADU has equally gorgeous but different river views and private deck, serving as a 3rd bedroom. It’s adjacent to a separate, 3rd garage for private use by a resident if desired. A 20x24 concrete pad/foundation is ready for adding an outbuilding. Directly across the road is a beautiful 100-acre Vineyard and tasting room, which complements the rural but bountiful setting for which this area is becoming famous. Three inside gas fireplaces, and one outside provide auxiliary heat and ambiance while the main deck mimics the finest treetop restaurant setting, surrounded by mature trees lining the river. All provide shelter for many species of birds along with perfect summer shade. In Fall the colors are spectacular. It is truly difficult to find a more pleasant place to be or entertain. During extra hot days of summer, swimming holes below offer cooling, slow-moving water from the river known as Abiqua Creek. The tree house effect simulates a 15-acre private sanctuary. Lots to discover in this home and its spectacular location.
