RIVER FRONT PROPERTY

FISH out your back door year-round for salmon, trout and small-mouth bass.  This property commands 100 ft. of cleared frontage on the pristine Lower Umpqua River with steps down to the water with room to moor your boat on this crystal clear river.  Property has water rights and new sprinkler system (2006) connected to pump in the river which waters the new lawn (2007). 

Before you enter the house, treat yourself to a walk-around of this simply gorgeous half-acre property located on a dead end street.  The landscaping will wow you.  Two huge evergreen trees in the front yard invite you to well over 1000 bulbs of many varieties, plus azaleas, lilac, calle & canka lillies, forsythia, rhododendrons, lilac and numerous other varieties of foliage, including a small orchard boasting three apple, one cherry, two pear (one asian), and an apricot tree; and not to be forgotten, very productive  marion berry vines with their own watering system.  

The property sells itself even before you enter this beautiful 25 year old home.    

Oregon law forbids subdividing property on a river, and across the river is a ranch so large one cannot see the borders from either direction.  Wildlife abounds, as you can imagine!  Sunsets are awe-inspiring.  Ask me, Ive got lots of photos!  Step back in time 30 years when you threw an inner-tube in the river and floated down-stream on a Sunday afternoon.  It is not an uncommon site!

We sadly/gladly share two wonderful neighbors on either side.  One is a master gardener always willing and ready to help, and on the other, a fastidious homeowner, in a brand new home.  All three of us boast new lawns.

Oh yes, the house!  Enter this unique 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 2692 sq. ft. home, solidly built on a cinder-block foundation with wood siding (second floor).  All new appliances in the last three years except  dishwasher; new hardwood flooring in huge eat-in kitchen; new corian counter tops kitchen and main bath; upgraded sinks in kitchen and bath, new vanity cabinets bath, and dry bar in kitchen; numerous cupboards and storage throughout; including large pantry in kitchen.  New $6,000 walk-in double shower with floor to ceiling tile added in 2007.

Below the deck is a full concrete patio added in 2004. Formal dining room seconds as office, and has new floor to ceiling built-in bookcases.
