Perched on a ridge above the Salmon River, this 1920 cabin presents a rare opportunity in the heart of Brightwood, positioned near the convergence of the Salmon and Sandy Rivers. The property offers sweeping upstream and downstream views of the Salmon River, complemented by elevated views of the Sandy River, creating a dramatic and ever-changing natural backdrop. While the steep gravel driveway leads to the cabin, it also places the home outside the typical river corridor, delivering the views and setting that define the property.Over the years, the home has seen thoughtful additions, and much of the original charm remains. An expansive deck invites you to take in the surrounding forest, river corridor, and sounds of flowing water, offering a true Pacific Northwest experience. The structure is in need of a full renovation and is being offered as a value-add or redevelopment opportunity. The roof was updated within the last 10 years. Buyers may choose to restore and reimagine the existing cabin or remove it and build new, maximizing the potential of this exceptional river-area lot. Potential creative financing opportunities may be available. Cabin is being sold as-is. Buyer to perform their own due diligence regarding square footage, permitted additions, and use; bedrooms are non-conforming. Ideal for those seeking a project, retreat, or new construction opportunity in a coveted Mt. Hood corridor with immediate access to rivers, hiking, recreation, and year-round outdoor adventure. Value is in the location, views, and land. FEMA Elevation certificate on file. 25.3 Ft above BFE according to report.
