Nestled into the hill above Little Cape Horn on an acre of tranquil grounds, The Villa offers an opportunity for a full-time residence, event business, or weekend retreat perched above the water's edge. Enjoy 98 feet of beachfront along the Columbia River's widest point, on a serene river setting. Imagine fishing, kayaking, windsurfing, and evening bonfires -- or just relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature and boats on the river. Positioned within a dream setting on the Columbia river with stunning water views that stretch from Little Cape Horn Rock to Jones Beach Oregon, this home enjoys nearly 100 feet of spectacular river beachfront. Boasting an expansive 5,392 square feet of space, the residence was designed by architect Bruce Taylor of Summit Design in Park City Utah, and thoughtfully built into the hill to take advantage of the panoramic views and lush landscaping, with each en-suite bedroom offering stellar views and private spaces. Designed as an Italian Villa, and custom built in 2005, the property offers modern convenience and a thoughtful style. The expansive covered Loggia at the southern end of the great room beckons residents and guests to enjoy the views and river front activity year round. The ornate wrought iron is evident inside and out, offering charm and whimsey. Custom Loewen windows from Canada provide quality style and function. The main level also houses a den that can easily convert to an ADA bedroom and attached bathroom with extra-wide doors, roll-in shower and Murphy bed. An additional bonus room is on the upper level with a washer/dryer hook-up, that can be used as a laundry, office, or work-out space. Expansive storage closets are strategically placed throughout the second level. The exterior is a Hardie Board fiber cement siding with stucco pattern, and the roof tiles are metal, designed to replicate clay tiles. This equates to easy maintenance and a fire-resistant and nearly weatherproof envelope. The home has a private upper guest wing with a wide stairway leading to a sitting area overlooking the main floor, and an expansive hallway with an additional sitting area, bookshelves, and unbelievable storage. The home, with three upper bedrooms, main floor bedroom and six bathrooms boasts strategically placed windows throughout, providing light filled spaces, while ensuring the utmost privacy and accenting the natural river landscape. Designed for entertaining, the open floor plan flows from one room to the next, connecting the kitchen, living and dining areas. The chef's kitchen opens to the dining with beautiful wrought iron doors, that can be closed off if privacy is needed. The grand fireplace offers multiple seating options for cozy gatherings or large entertaining. A grand covered terrace overlooks the river and lush, tranquil grounds. Among the home's four (septic approved) bedrooms is an impressive main floor master suite. A private door leads from the master to the terrace, providing unobstructed river and mountain views as you sip your morning coffee. The Master bath features a soaking tub, creating a spa-like experience, and a large walk-in closet. The home has operated as a Bed and Breakfast and Event location for many years, and many of the furnishings are available to remain with the home. Perfectly situated at the bend of the river at Little Cape Horn -- nearly a mile wide -- the home enjoys views of the ships traveling up the waterway, as well as some of the best fishing, kayaking, and windsurfing on the Columbia River. Located in the heart of Cathlamet in Wahkiakum county, The Villa provides a quiet respite, balanced by easy access to Portland, Tacoma and Seattle.
