Privately nestled on a wooded acre and surrounded by 300 acres of protected forestland, this remarkable 4,425 sq ft NW Contemporary residence is a rare blend of timeless design, sustainability, and craftsmanship. Designed by award-winning Emerick Architects and built by Right Angle Construction, this LEED Gold Certifed home delivers luxurious, eco-conscious living in a setting of unmatched serenity. A covered walkway leads to the front entry, where a solid wood oversized door makes a stunning first impression. Inside, natural materials create an organic, refined aesthetic—Oregon white oak floors, Douglas Fir ceilings & trim, slate tile, and black walnut accents reflect the home's deep connection to its forested surroundings. The main level offers an open-concept layout flooded with natural light from expansive wood-framed windows and accordion glass doors that open to a private, entertainment-ready deck. The chef’s kitchen is a showstopper with a 48” gas range, custom range hood, Sonoma Cast Stone sink, oversized walnut island, and stainless steel appliances. This thoughtfully designed home features 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a dedicated office on the main floor with custom built-ins. Beautiful primary bedroom with private balcony, seasonal Mt. Hood views, walk-in closet and bathroom with double shower. Two additional bedrooms with custom accordian doors, second full bathroom, and a convenient laundry room with storage complete the upper level. Finished basement—with a separate exterior entrance—includes a fourth bedroom, full bath, bonus/living room, gym, and generous storage, offering ideal flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. Finished attic above the detached oversized garage is perfect for projects. New HVAC, EV charger in garage, tankless gas water heater, fencing, landscaping, and home generator. Adjacent vacant .44 acre lot also for sale to add additional privacy. Fabulous location just minutes to Hillsdale and downtown Portland.
