There isn't a property like this ANYWHERE! The home couldn't be replicated - it is a custom, all wood constructed home of the highest quality. Natural cedar shake siding and presidential comp roof that will outlive the owners. Wood trim and hardwood floors and tile throughout. 4BR 3.5BA in the main house with a large bonus room and BA over the garage. 2 additional bonus rooms on the third floor of the main house, for a total of 3200 sq. ft. of finished, indoor living space. In addition, there is 2400 sq.ft. of covered porch and deck (360 degree wrap-around). Energy efficient construction and energy efficient heating/cooling. This property has an incredible bonus feature that's better than free energy. PGE PAYs YOU for the energy you generate! The very large capacity solar system on this property (twice the normal residential system) is under a very solar payment contract with PGE. PGE pays you 58cents per kWh for the power you generate! Very few of these contracts were awarded. (The last time the solar option was even available through PGE, it paid 22 cents per kW). This translates into monthly income averaging well over $600 per month. (You receive monthly checks from the power company!) When the PGE contract expires in 2025, it will still be "better than off the grid" - it will become a "net metering system". (Did you know that the Willamette Valley has as good of solar radiation value as Florida?). This is an amazing opportunity to the buyer of this home (the seller is unable to take the system, even though they own it, because the contract is attached to the property. It is transferrable only to the new property owner). The system is very easy to maintain (wash the panels once a year). The house has county approval to be an owner-run B&B (2 miles to The Oregon Garden, 18 miles to Silver Falls State Park, 2 miles to historic downtown Silverton - close to schools, shopping, etc.). There's a newly constructed 1200 sq.ft. pole barn with 350 sq.ft. loft. The 2 car, 600 sq. ft., un-attached garage is connected to the main house by a covered breezeway. The finished mother-in-law or office over the garage has a private bath and separate entrance. A stunning feature of this property are the 7 acres of wetlands that are protected in perpetuity for wildlife habitat and maintained by a non-profit conservation organization. This is a nature lover's paradise. Dozens of species of birds (including bald eagles, hawks, blue heron, numerous songbirds, egrets, hummingbirds, etc.), ducks, muskrats, beavers, and much more. The upland acreage has some of the best soil in the Willamette Valley, with water rights for irrigation and is designated as EFU (Exclusive Farm Use). Because of the special zoning designations for this unique property, the taxes are very low. 2015 taxes $2,187 Solar Income: average $625 per month. Open House July 15, 16, 22, 23. 10am-3pm Will also show to qualified buyers by appointment.
