Description

Set in the rolling White Salmon hills with views of Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams and a front-row seat to the Columbia Gorge, this 84-acre estate is as rare as it gets in the Pacific Northwest, and it is dividable, with three additional ~20-acre home sites able to be carved off, ideal for an family compound. The 4,076 sq ft residence is designed in the Japandi tradition. Four bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a 26-ft vaulted great room, and 10-ft ceilings pull in light year-round. Dekton countertops, German Nobilia cabinetry, an induction cooktop, two dishwashers, a wet bar with a Grohe chilled and sparkling water system, and a custom steel pivot entry door define the interior. A 4-zone Mitsubishi cold-climate heat pump system keeps the home comfortable year-round, complemented by a high-output wood stove and a 24kW standby generator on buried propane. RO-equivalent water filtration, whole-house air filtration with ERV, Starlink, and a dedicated EV charger round out a home built for modern, self-sufficient living. A sheltered sunken courtyard provides private outdoor gathering space surrounded by native plantings, while a covered patio off the kitchen opens fully to the outdoors through a sliding glass wall system from Panoramic Doors. Beyond the residence lies a vineyard of equal distinction. The 10 planted acres are farmed to a standard found nowhere else in the region: CCOF Organic, Demeter Biodynamic, and Regenerative Organic Certified, simultaneously. A substantial barn supports the operation. Rolling pastures, a 4-acre food forest of more than 1,700 fruit-bearing plants, a heritage orchard of century-old plum, apple, pear, and cherry trees, and a year-round pond fed by an on-property creek complete the land. With room to divide and build for extended family or future investment, this is a unique convergence of architectural significance, certified agricultural excellence, and breathtaking Gorge beauty, a legacy estate unlike any other in the Pacific Northwest.
