About The Property

Some properties are defined by their features. Others are defined by how they make you feel. This one is defined by both. From the moment you arrive, the pace of everyday life feels a little farther away. Quiet without feeling isolated. Private without feeling remote. Connected to nature without giving up convenience. It’s a balance that’s getting harder to find. This custom home was designed for easy living inside and out. Five acres that feel like an escape without functioning like a second job. The area around the home is landscaped, level, and usable with space for RVs or a future shop. The remaining acreage takes care of itself. Wildlife shows up regularly. Neighbors don’t. A gated entry and paved driveway set the tone. Inside, the open layout flows easily from room to room. High ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and a two-story stone fireplace anchor the living area. The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped, functional, and connected to the spaces where people naturally spend their time. With the primary suite, a second bedroom or office, and full bathroom all on the main level, stairs become optional. Outside, the covered patio with built-in gas fireplace is a genuine four-season space. Valley views are the backdrop, whether you’re sipping coffee in the morning or grilling dinner in the evening. Relax under the stars in the swim spa, or get in a workout with the counter-current swim system. For those who want to do more with the land, there’s plenty of room for a garden, greenhouse, chickens, or a hobby farm. With a fully owned solar array powering the entire home and two EV chargers, the savings in utility costs are substantial. The location does its part too. Damascus sits just east of Happy Valley, at a quiet edge of the Portland Metro area with shopping, dining, and everyday essentials nearby. Close enough to easily commute to Portland, catch a flight at PDX, or make a quick trip to Mt. Hood, yet far enough from everything to actually feel like you’ve left.
