Waterfront, acreage, deep-water moorage, and a peaceful island setting – opportunities like this are hard to find. Tucked along Jackson Inlet off the COLUMBIA RIVER, this Puget Island retreat offers 165' of waterfront, a 90' private dock, and direct access to the water for boating, fishing, kayaking, or simply watching the ever-changing river. Set on 0.7 acres, the property offers mature fruit trees, a spacious lawn, shaded areas, and room to enjoy the outdoors. The large deck is the perfect place for morning coffee, sunset watching, or simply listening to the water while eagles and other wildlife pass by. Inside, the comfortable 2-bedroom home offers a spacious, easy-flow layout with both river and garden views. Whether you're searching for a full-time home, weekend escape, or your own private Pacific Northwest retreat, this property offers a lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find. Peaceful and tucked away, yet just 5 minutes to the Oregon ferry, 45 minutes to Astoria, and 90 minutes to PDX.
