Elevated homesite Above the Valley — Starlight Summit. Stand on this lot and the decision gets easier. From its elevated position in Starlight Summit, this 7,831 sq ft homesite looks out over the rooftops below to a panoramic sweep of the valley floor and the timbered foothills beyond — a layered, green-on-green view that runs to the horizon and changes with the light all day. From the right vantage on the lot, the Coast Range rises along the skyline. The grade is the gift here, and the head start is already in the ground. The natural slope is what lifts this lot above its neighbors, and initial excavation for a daylight-basement design has already been completed — the site is shaped for exactly the kind of home this lot was meant to hold, with the main living level and every window positioned above everything in front of it. City water, sewer, electricity, and natural gas are all available at the lot. Surrounded by established, quality custom homes in one of Philomath's proven hillside neighborhoods, this is a finished setting, not a speculative one: the street is built out, the comparables are on record, and homes on Starlight Way have closed at and above asking. Minutes to downtown Philomath, ten to Corvallis and Oregon State, in a school district and housing market that hold their value. In-town view lots in Starlight Summit aren't being made anymore. This is one of the last.
