Description
Exceptional Pacific Northwest Lifestyle: 5,044 SF Estate with Pond, Barn & 5.73 Usable Acres. This luxury home is a true sanctuary with acreage, space, and an unbeatable lifestyle. Positioned in Skamania County--just 1 mile east of the Clark County border--residents benefit from a more favorable tax structure (including lower vehicle taxes) and fewer property restrictions. The climate is remarkably mild: summer days rarely top 85degF, and winter snow is minimal and handled quickly by county plows. The drive home along Washougal River Road leads to a private split paved driveway. One fork goes to the main residence, while the other leads to a 2-story 30' x 48' barn/workshop outfitted for 4 horse stalls and second-floor storage--ideal for equestrian use, hobbyists, or car enthusiasts. Inside the 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home, find details that reflect nature--stone and river rock fireplaces, beamed ceiling, and extensive use of natural wood. The large kitchen showcases an 8' x 8' island, modern stainless appliances, an open wood-burning stove hearth, and a breakfast area overlooking the pond. The main level is completed by a formal dining room, dedicated home office, mud/utility room, half bath, and multi-level living and family rooms. The upper-level primary suite features a sitting area with pond and territorial views. The primary bath showcases a luxurious 6' x 6' 4-head walk-in shower. Three additional 12' x 12' bedrooms and a second full bath sit off the second-floor landing. Down the hall awaits a large 26' x 32' bonus room, perfect for a guest suite, home gym, studio or media center. Privacy, yet only 36 minutes to Portland International Airport and 14 minutes to downtown Washougal and Safeway grocery. Also, a convenience store/ gas station is less than 1 mile from this home. Enjoy the area's fine dining, hiking trails, farmer's markets, fishing and outdoor activities. Welcome home.
