24485 E METSGER ISLAND DR, Welches, OR 97067 US Mt Hood Home

First time offered! This stunning custom built cedar lodge is located in a pristine valley of the Cascade foothills at the end of a gated road. It’s on a private island surrounded by the Salmon River with over 500 feet of prime mountain riverfront Enjoy nearly three acres of treed seclusion with one of Mt. Hood’s premium fishing holes right on the property.

Skamania Lodge was the original inspiration for the architecturally deigned home built by local builder Dave Eldredge featuring a wall of windows facing a towering forest and the Salmon River rushing by.  Log timbers are integrated in the grand room with a spectacular floor to ceiling river rock fireplace. The warmth of wood and natural light makes for a grand setting with cedar walls and ceilings and hardwood floors. Four sets of French doors open to the riverside deck on the main level from three different rooms: the living room, dining room and family room.

Enjoy three river rock fireplaces in this home. The family room is right off the living room with its own fireplace. Open the French doors and a library sits just off the living room area. Three bedrooms are upstairs with two master bedrooms including their own baths. One master bedroom features a river rock fireplace. Both master bedrooms have balcony decks to enjoy the outdoors. A guest bedroom with full bath, complete with jetted tub, nestles between the master bedrooms. Functional extra wide six foot lofts surround the living room area on three sides. Skylights stream natural light down from the wood beamed ceilings.

A  huge wraparound deck surrounds most of the main floor level. As you walk up to the front of the lodge a massive timbered covered porch sets the entry. The current owners sit here after a day’s work to relax and unwind. The riverside deck is perfection for entertaining guests and watching deer who greet your friends.

The lower level of the home has a very fun theatre room complete with seating! Get the popcorn ready and put your feet up. This is major fun for family, friends, and kids LOVE IT. Adjacent to this room is a wine cellar! A bonus storage area with over 500 square feet of space is accessible from this room. Another door leads to the three car garage with nine foot walls which make up the foundation of the home.

This unique home is in a very private one of a kind location with tons of seclusion. Nearly the entire island has been developed with large building sites on acreage making each home site private. A deeded pathway for the lodge owner abuts 600 acres of BLM land. You can take a one mile trail into Mt. Hood’s famed Wildwood Park.

The lodge is only one hour from Portland and even closer to the Portland International Airport. The Mt. Hood area is a recreational paradise and home to several premium ski areas with year round skiing on the Palmer Glacier. Only two minutes away is golfing with 27 holes at the newly renovated five star Resort at the Mountain.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!
