52 Puzzled Woman Rd – A Once-in-a-Generation Columbia River Cove that you can own. Tucked along the Columbia River, this rare 5-acre seasonal sandy cove offers something almost impossible to find in the Gorge — usable waterfront land with privacy, views, and recreation all in one setting. Originally built in 1909, the cabin on site is a fixer and is being sold as-is. The real value here is the land — five acres of riverfront opportunity with its own sandy shoreline, dramatic Gorge views, and a setting that feels worlds away while being just 30 minutes to PDX and only 15 minutes from downtown Washougal. A natural swimming hole sits below a prominent riverside bluff — the perfect jump spot for summer afternoons. Launch a kayak from your own beach, fish from shore, host unforgettable gatherings, or design your dream waterfront retreat. The cove provides both protection and personality, with panoramic river and cliffside views that change by the hour. Large sandy waterfront parcels like this are extraordinarily rare along the Columbia. Whether you restore the historic cabin, build new (subject to approvals), or hold as a legacy property, this is a chance to own something that simply doesn’t come available often. A true Pacific Northwest riverfront setting; private, scenic, and irreplaceable.
