WHERE THE FOREST MEETS THE SKY
Nestled into a quiet hillside just six miles from downtown Portland, this custom Old World -style estate unfolds across nearly half an acre of elevated land at the edge of Forest Park.
Thoughtfully positioned and surrounded by private property, the home is tucked inside of 11 acres of shared protected conservancy land—offering an unparalleled sense of seclusion and connection to nature. Its stucco and wood façade crowned by a tile roof blends into the surrounding trees and terrain effortlessly.
Inside, grand volumes of space invite quiet luxury, natural light, and uninterrupted views of sky, mountain, and forest canopy.
SHARED SPACES | A HOME MADE TO GATHER
Step through the covered front entry and into a double-height foyer– a sweeping staircase welcomes you upward while abundant sunlight pours in from above.
Rich hardwood floors lead you to the expansive main living spaces—anchored by a chef’s kitchen designed with connection and hosting in mind. Outfitted with sub-zero refrigeration, a gas cooktop, built-in double ovens, a wine cooler, and a generous walk-in pantry, the kitchen is centered by a large island perfect for meal prep, casual mornings, or gathering around with a cup of coffee.
Adjoining the kitchen, the formal living and dining rooms offer a sense of calm sophistication—marked by soaring ceilings, custom built-ins, and French doors that open wide onto the expansive upper deck. Whether you're hosting large-scale dinners or enjoying quiet evenings in, these spaces are built to flow with life’s rhythms.

A POEM FOR THE HOME |
we always have words for love
some are sighs, breath of no form
at the start, arms open
step into a yes of place
forest of whole mistletoe
birds uplift, the best is with
arch doors open of love
where joy is ground
gaze a bell, give eyes
if God does intervene,
it is to help us love each other
in blue warm air
ridge trail wild contain
one wants to hold hands
stairs lift arch ah
a partridge cedar peace
love is better among
trees nod, lift cherish day
oh home, if you ask, yes
home cord round wove trail
stairs through arch halls
pause balcony and feel tree
bloom calm elk, mallard flight
if humans were hummingbirds
here is nectar
intake a flow of room, soft silk air
a good place
is a place that makes it easier to love
and rose trees grow
steps of fern smile joy us grass
wings in hand arch window
trees sing day we hold
flow of flower rooms weave
this description of hope
windows reflect calm
clouds soar hug
our days yearn love
we always have words
some are sighs of no form
at the start arms open
