Custom home overlooking the beautiful Grays River Valley with the Columbia River & Astoria bridge in distance. The setting has the feeling of looking over the fields below Chartwell, the home of Winston Churchill in Great Britain (been there), with grazing dairy cows in the distance on very green pastures bounded by the Grays River and narrow country roads. At high tide much of the area in sight is like a big lake. The house was specially designed, built by a very high quality builder on 11 + - acres. Features: privacy (you can practice shoot in 180 degree range), oversized attached garage, huge outbuilding, efficient heat pump, separate propane fireplace, wood stove with all the wood you need for rest of your life (you cut & split!), quiet, very dark nights (more stars than you thought imaginable), reliable public water system with hydrant at property corner, very nice neighbors (including elk and deer), 35 minutes from an Oregon Costco, RV and any other parking, all year stream near driveway entrance from paved county road, 300 degree view, complete privacy, driveway winding up hill to house discourages looky-loos or anyone not invited; jetted tub in master bedroom., 3 bedroom, 2 full bath, lots of storage, high quality materials & doors, outdoor barBQ grill outlet, countertop gas kitchen stove with water faucet above, two covered deck areas connecting very large, composite deck on main view side (supported by full exterior foundation). House is in almost new condition. Gourmet kitchen with Kitchen-Kraft cabinets, separate laundry room with deep sink, central vacuum system (including hose in garage), ceiling fans, open, comfortable interior design. In short, everything you might want in a house is here. With hunting, fishing, farming and logging nearby the area is populated with self-reliant, down to earth good people. It's just a wonderful sanctuary, as isolated as you wish it to be, yet with tax-free shopping 35 minutes away in Warrenton and Astoria, Oregon, but living in income-tax free WA. It is always nice to come home to the top of the valley; the landscape treats us to unlimited pictures out of every window. Not one guest or visitor who has seen our place has failed to say how fantastic this location is, and how lucky we must be to be here. One comment I had from a off-road biker visitor was that it has unlimited terrain for such a sport. A series of zip lines is also a good possibility given the length and slope in many locations. But if all you wish to do is gaze at the constellations this is a good place to hide from the light of cities, or during the day watch distant ships that just crossed the Columbia bar, all while enjoying the serenity of a placid river valley filled with a variety of birds, mammals and fields of Holsteins in the near distance, the Columbia River beyond. House sold for $400,000 in 2008.
