Nature meets modern green design at 961 Snowden Rd in White Salmon. This 20-acre parcel offers alpine meadows, evergreen forest, 180-degree views of nighttime skies, and proximity to hiking, biking, world-class wind and river sports, fishing, and skiing. Great food, breweries and wineries, entertainment, shopping, and excellent services and hospitals are just 20-30 minutes away in White Salmon and Hood River. 961 Snowden includes a custom-built 2-story, 2-bedroom, 2-bath primary residence; a separate finished 2-room, 1-bath studio with an attached workshop; a 24x30 detached garage; multiple finished outbuildings for generous storage; a pump house with 2 two pumps that draw from the on-property 175 ft well; and a custom-built solar greenhouse (close to the primary residence for easy winter access) for year-round hydroponic and/or permaculture growing. The primary home features exposed timber beams, vaulted ceilings, picture windows, polished concrete floors, built-ins, and an abundance of natural light. Nearby, the bright, roomy studio serves as a space for guests, artists, or remote work (buyers can pursue a conditional use permit for commercial or rental use). A 20kW hybrid solar-and-grid-electric system provides all electricity on the property, and internet connectivity includes state-of-the-art fiber optic with satellite failover and a wi-fi mesh. 961 Snowden is enhanced for wildfire safety with upgrades that exceed DNR recommendations, including buildings hardened with Hardiboard, steel siding and roofing, and ember-blocking mesh; 12,500 gallons of water storage, wet firewalls, and gravel firebreaks that serve as everyday pathways; and a well-maintained forest. Outdoor patios and connecting pathways invite you to enjoy the fresh air and magical environment. Live year-round on-or-off-grid in comfort and convenience in this move-in ready, one-of-a-kind property, or enjoy the seasonal delights in your ideal vacation home.
