17616 Abiqua Rd NE, Silverton, OR 97381

Built on a bluff above a river called the Abiqua, this architecturally designed (similar to Frank Lloyd Wright) one-level, South-facing home feels like it’s in a remote section of Colorado. The home flows logically from one space to another while commercial-sized windows offer magnificent views and the pleasing sound of two year-round rapids, a gentle reminder of the flow of water and time. You enter the great room through nine-foot carved Hickory doors. . A gourmet kitchen includes two dishwashers, three sinks and an expansive curved granite workspace and an expansive curved granite workspace. The primary B/R has a unique view and deck, a floor-heated bathroom with jacuzzi, shower and sauna, while the walk-in closet includes a clothes dryer for a quick wrinkle-free clothes refresh. The second B/R also includes 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. An emergency generator protects all desirable circuits during a power outage. The house design is as unique as the wild river below it, often providing a sudden reason to re-appreciate its careful river bluff placement and orientation. Note that the house elevation is way above the FEMA flood zone. A same-level remote 20x24 concrete pad/foundation is ready for adding an additional outbuilding, also with a grand view. Three inside gas fireplaces, and one outside provide auxiliary heat and ambiance while its three decks mimic the finest of treetop lodge settings. Surrounded by mature deciduous trees that provide perfect summer shade, in Fall the colors are spectacular. It is truly difficult to find a more pleasant place to be or entertain no matter the weather. The high tree house feeling simulates a 15-acre private sanctuary rivaling the spectacular, nearby Silver Falls Park. During rare, extra hot days of summer, easily accessible swimming holes offer cooling, slow-moving water from the Abiqua. Directly across the entry is a 100-acre Vineyard and tasting room, which complement the rural but bountiful setting for which this area has become famous. Lots to discover about this rare location and its surrounding environment.
