The main house is fully remodeled, spans over 5,200 square feet, and offers a diverse palette of wood species and custom-crafted features. There is expansive decking, patio areas, and outdoor living space overlooking a pond, pasture, and trees. A large barn with a ballroom floor, full bathroom, and outdoor kitchen is next to a greenhouse with a large concrete patio area. The three-bed, two-bath guesthouse is fully remodeled and showcases extensive mountain views. The land is a mixture of forested, cleared, and pasture areas. This storybook estate could serve as a statement homestead, corporate retreat, hunting lodge, vineyard, winery, or strategic venture that taps into the history of the property and the multiple lots/structures. It’s situated just over an hour southwest of Portland and 15 minutes from downtown McMinnville."
