A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity on the Nehalem River...Offered for the very first time this extraordinary estate is a true gem of the Oregon Coast and one that rarely, if ever, comes to market.Encompassing 29 acres magnificent acres along a private three-quarter-mile stretch of the Nehalem River on Highway 53, this stunning retreat sits just inland from Manzanita, one of the most coveted destinations in the Pacific Northwest. Enjoy the best of both worlds with effortless access to a beloved coastal town paired with the warmer, sunnier microclimate upriver; perfect for fishing ("@ the best fishing hole on the Nehalem & probably the NW"), entertaining and savoring the unhurried pace of life that only true seclusion can offer.The 2,700 square-foot custom home was lovingly designed by the original owner and has been treasured by one family ever since; making this its first appearance on the market.Anchored by a grand fireplace and thoughtfully designed with a main-level primary suite, the home flows naturally to a screened porch where sweeping Nehalem river & onion peek views become part of daily life. Whether you're waking up to morning mist on the water or gathering around the fire at dusk every detail invites you to slow down and stay.Beyond the home the property offers two outbuildings, merchantable timber, a 2025 John Deere tractor, a 34 ton log splitter and a spectacular riverside event space; a rare setting for weddings, retreats, family gatherings or simply a private escape of your own. The combination of income potential, natural beauty and sheer scale makes this one of the most compelling riverfront offerings on the Oregon Coast. This is not just a home. It is a legacy.
