Own your own fishing hole on the South Santiam River. This 4.79 forested acres sitting on the banks of the South Santiam with its great fishing features a unique one-owner 2225 SF 3 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath home just waiting for your updates to restore it to its original beauty. The octagonal design of the living area was planned to provide lovely views to the river from the dining room and living room. The kitchen with room for lots of cooks, plentiful counter space, an eat-in area, and access to the deck also shares the octagonal end of the home. Built-in storage abounds, and there is a two-car garage and separate 24 x 28 cement-floored shop for lots of projects. Decks with views of the river and woods, as well as striking stone work inside & out, enhance the homes natural surroundings. There is also some marketable timber and a guest house. Privacy, quiet, the natural setting, and the river combine to make this property an excellent choice for that get-away retreat.

The spacious entry leads you into the uniquely designed octagonal space designed to allow the living spaces to share vaulted, open-beam ceilings, wonderful views of the South Santiam River, and the peaceful natural areas of the yard that borders it. The centerpiece of the 17 x 60 living room is a massive floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace. The dining room, with its lovely views of the river, has a pellet stove and is open to the living room and spacious kitchen. The kitchen also features two long counter tops each with its own sink and workspace, a built-in oven with a built-in microwave garage above, a Jenn-Air downdraft range, and a roomy pantry. The eat-in area has access to the deck and views across the native scenery of the yard. The bedrooms are roomy, and the master suite and 2nd bedroom have deck access. Well-planned storage is abundant throughout the entire home.

Nestled into its wooded setting, surrounded by big decks, this retreat-like home has beautiful stone work inside and out. Featuring a tile roof and wood siding, the house fits in with the native plantings and surrounding it and extending to the river bank. A sturdy 24 x 48 cement-floored shop sits in the woods a short distance away from the house and is a perfect place for storage and projects. There is more than enough room to park boats, RVs, and lots of other outdoor equipment. A guest house sits in its own yard away from the house and adjacent to the country lane that serves both.

This country retreat with its South Santiam River views and access is only minutes away from Foster Lake and Green Peter Lake, as well as all the other recreational opportunities provided by its close proximity to Oregon's Cascade Mountains. While it sits down a quiet country lane in its own woods along the South Santiam River, it is also not far from the Mid-Willamette cities of Albany, Lebanon, Sweet Home, Eugene, and Corvallis with their access to shopping, business, universities and community colleges. Bring your updates for this opportunity to own your own retreat along Oregon's beautiful South Santiam River.
