The best of all possible worlds--what does that look like? Consider this: a house facing south on a 5.08-acre parcel, with vast Contemporary-style windows looking out to an expansive meadow starry and fragrant with wildflowers, welcoming to deer, rabbits, and an astonishing variety of birds, from the bald eagle to the burrowing owl. From the wraparound deck, you can see the mountains; sunrise and sunset paint the sky. The house is a delightful blend of dramatic and homey, with a huge and stunning vaulted living room that leads to a cozy dining room and well-designed kitchen with a ton of storage. The main level has two sizeable bedrooms in addition to the wonderful primary suite, with its custom built-in shelves and attached bath. The lower level gives you studio or office space, a media room, another bedroom, and direct access to a patio shaded by the deck, a convenient hangout on sunny days. Speaking of sunny days, you'll be so grateful for the state of the art solar panels, installed on the metal roof of the shop. The system is fully owned and works so well that it gives back to the grid--if you're concerned about rising electricity costs, you'll be buying inflation-proof power. Along with the attached double garage, there is a separate drive-through shop, 1471 SF waiting for your projects...it has 15- and 20-amp circuits, and unlike most shops, it also has its own heat pump and is fully insulated, so you can work in complete comfort. All this, plus a magical location; it feels like the countryside, but it's so convenient to Dallas that you can still order DoorDash; and if you feel like cooking, you're in the heart of farm-to-table bounty. Benedetto Winery is down the road, and Eola Hills/Amity 20 min away. You're 3 minutes from the legendary Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge. You're less than an hour from the ocean and a little more than an hour to Portland or Eugene. Still looking for the best of all possible worlds? It's right here.
