Tucked along a quiet inlet off the COLUMBIA RIVER, this Puget Island waterfront retreat offers the kind of peace people search for but rarely find. Set on 0.7 acres with mature fruit trees, shaded gathering spaces, rare palm trees, and 165ft of waterfront, this property invites you to slow down and enjoy island life at its best. Spend mornings kayaking from your private dock, afternoons fishing or boating on the river, and evenings watching sunsets from the expansive deck while eagles soar overhead. The sound of the water, the river breeze, and the privacy of the setting create a truly calming atmosphere. Inside, the comfortable 2-bedroom home offers a spacious, easy-flow layout with river and garden views throughout. The newly repaired 90ft dock provides deep water moorage and easy access to the water. Peaceful and tucked away, yet just 5 minutes to the Oregon ferry, 45 mins to Astoria, and 90 mins to PDX
