It’s easy to see how Henry David Thoreau was inspired while living on Walden Pond. This once in a generation property, designed and built as a personal residence by a prominent custom contractor has never before been on the market. Set on 3.68 acres and ten minutes to historic downtown McMinnville, the entrance to the property is a bridge that takes you across Berry Creek and down a streetlamp-lined asphalt driveway. The one-level, NW Custom Home’s kitchen, covered porch, dining, living and primary bedroom overlook the year round pond that provides waterfront vistas and a sustained sense of calm. With a spectacular water feature, the pond has tasteful heron statues, a swim-up dock, paddle boat and is fed by Berry Creek with established water rights. The home is airy, has a broad hallway, wide doors and 9’ ceilings. There is a well lit breezeway that connects the home and it’s first of two attached oversized garages. In addition to these, there is a third detached shop that has a half bath and a lean-to. Both structures have recently cleaned tile roofs and ample power. The home and property were methodically planned. The plot of land was known to produce great water (well log says 125 GPM) and was purchased in the 60s, water rights were established in 1967, the pond was dug out in 1972, landscaping began 30 years ago and construction on the structures began in the early 2000s. The home has the ability to run off of a generator, has a water radiant heating system (electricity bills are lower), wood stove and a gas fireplace. Additionally, there’s a plumbed greenhouse, chicken coop, and a 960sqft deer-fenced garden. This property is a great host for get togethers, summer swim parties, cozy evenings on the covered porch and cups of coffee overlooking the pond with the whisper of the Quaking Aspens in the background. It’s magical, romantic, peaceful and genuinely must-experience property. Buyer to do due diligence on water rights.
