There are homes you tour and homes that change you. This is the second kind. Tucked into 4.34 acres of old-growth Douglas fir on the elevated bluffs of Stafford, by Portland registered architect Mel Kroker — the visionary behind Wilsonville's Town Center master plan, this one-of-a-kind passive solar earth-sheltered estate was designed not just to shelter life — but to elevate it. Built in 1985 and held by the same family for over four decades, it is offered now for the first time. The approach alone tells you this is different. A rhododendron-lined drive winds through towering conifers before revealing a sculptural cantilevered porte-cochère suspending over a cobblestone courtyard like something between architecture and art. Inside, the entire south elevation is a dramatic angled glass curtain wall framed in walnut timber, flooding every room with light while the Tualatin Valley stretches endlessly below. Recent updates include new carpet and fresh electrical. The reimagined kitchen features a butcher block island, double wall ovens, and warm hardwood floors flowing into the dining room. The primary suite is on the main level. Just off the dining room, a stunning solarium captures light and valley views in every season. Outside, facing South, the winding garden paths lead past blooming rhododendrons, azaleas, Japanese maples, and specimen conifers. A detached 2-car garage, a large barn with attached greenhouse, mature landscaping plus sweeping territorial views complete this irreplaceable estate. West Linn schools. One owner. Offered for the first time. A home this rare doesn't come twice.
