Rare property at the base of Mt. Emily set on just over 10 acres, bordering the eastern side of Mt. Emily Recreational Area (MERA) — Oregon’s largest county park spanning 3,700 acres! MERA’s trail systems are a haven for mountain bikers, horseback riders, hikers, runners and motorcycle, quad and side by side enthusiasts. Located in one of Union County’s most desirable areas, this property offers a peaceful retreat just minutes from town on a private road. The mostly single-level home features vaulted ceilings, a wall of windows, and a wood stove that perfectly frames the natural setting to take in the sweeping mountain, timber, and valley views. A spacious kitchen with granite countertops and large windows invites the outdoors in, complemented by newer wood flooring and fresh interior and exterior paint. Additional features include solar panels, a metal roof, and a generator—ready for all seasons and situations. An attached two-car garage connects to an oversized laundry/mudroom, while a 2,600+ sq ft barn offers horse/livestock accommodations, hay loft with ladder, tack room, walk-in cooler and more! Multiple water spigots are plumbed across the property, and the home is wired for emergency power. A rare blend of privacy, functionality, and natural beauty in a truly special location.
