Description
Stunning custom-built luxury home in Cascade Head Ranch, a unique, forested community known for its natural beauty, wildlife, and outdoor activities, just north of Lincoln City. Gorgeous finishes include hardwood floors, granite counters, floor-to-ceiling windows, and wrap-around cedar deck. Functional floor plan with primary en suite on main level with walk-in closet & door to hot tub deck. Second living room upstairs with two more bedrooms and a bath. Separate laundry room, EV charging station in garage, and more. This home has been ''over-built'' with special seismic-ready building features include geotechnical engineered foundation with 31 pilings into bedrock, as well as a huge amount of 6000 PSI concrete footings and stem walls. Over 300' in elevation and out of tsunami risk zone. Eligible for STR license (check with county). The HOA includes a beautiful swimming pool beside the Salmon River, a riverside Club House that's available to all members (only 87) and can be scheduled for member's private activities without cost. Less than ten owners actually live in their home full-time, thus there is very little use of the facilities and it's easy to schedule. This also lends itself to a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood, with nothing but the rhythmic sound of the ocean surf in the background. There are two full-time employees that take care of all common maintenance and are available for any emergency where on-site people are needed. They also give a great deal of security and protection to the HOA without the hassle of gates and guards. It has free boat trailer parking, it's own boat launch, and community river frontage. It has it's own potable water supply and has been awarded the highest quality of excellence by the State of Oregon and is free with your HOA dues. Garbage and Recycling are included in your fees. Excellent salmon fishing at your doorstep, good crabbing right in the safety of the Salmon River estuary, and simple boat access to the open ocean for site seeing and limitless fishing opportunities year round. It has the easiest boat access to a mile of a pristine white sand beach, with even a simple row boat, kayak, or canoe, and only available to boaters. The ocean cliffs are spectacular from the view of a sea kayak, with whales spouting, bald eagles, sea otters, and sea lions all around. Hundreds of thousands of sea birds live along the rock cliffs and are a bird watcher's dream. The Cascade Head Conservancy has protected the entire area so there's no chance anything will ever diminish the ecological or esthetic value of the area. Singular ocean view hikes, perhaps one of the very best on the Oregon coast. There's over a hundred Roosevelt Elk, divided into three main herds, that live there and are seen grazing in the open meadows every day, as well as numerous deer that are tame enough to take food out of your hand. This is one of the most beautiful and pristine ocean, mountain, and river locations on the entire west coast. Artists, poets, writers, and musicians come from around the world to seek inspiration through immersion in the solitude and sheer beauty of this rare and unique location; staying at the Sitka Eco Art Center, hiking the quiet mountain trails, barefoot on the white sand beaches, or gazing at the sunset from the spectacular rugged mountain cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. As a side note, for those interested, there are no restrictions on renting your home as a vacation rental, or any other rental accommodation, AirBNB, VRBO, etc. Many rent their homes to the visiting artists and writers. Also of some unique mention, the Cascade Head area has it's own weather pattern that is milder and less windy than the surrounding areas. It's protected from the prevailing northwesterly winds, and it faces primarily south, thus capturing the warmer southeast sunrises and southwest sunsets. It's an area where there is less home turn over and people tend to come and stay for decades.
