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 formal office or library with custom woodwork

  • A cozy media room or den for movie nights

  • A stylish powder room

  • Two staircases on either end of the home, connecting all levels

  • Mudroom access to an oversized 2-car garage (with an additional 2-car garage below)

  • A secondary front entrance tucked discreetly to the left of the main door

PRIVATE SPACES | RESTFUL RETREATS ON EVERY LEVEL

The private quarters begin upstairs, where the primary suite spans over an entire wing. Wake up to sunlit treetops and end your day on your private balcony, perched high above the landscape.

The ensuite bath is spa-like in scale, an immersive experience with the freestanding soaking tub. Dual vanities, a steam shower with dual head, and a walk-in closet featuring custom built-ins all lend themselves to the perfect experience.

Additional bedrooms upstairs are spacious and serene, each featuring:

  • High ceilings

  • En suite or adjacent full baths

  • Beautiful natural light

  • On the main level, a private guest suite with a full bathroom provides ease and accessibility–ideal for visiting friends or multi-generational living. An additional main-floor bedroom allows for flexible use as a second office, nursery, or creative space.

BONUS SPACES | DESIGNED TO ADAPT AND INSPIRE

The finished lower level offers a rare combination of light, function, and flexibility. With full-height ceilings, large windows that capture natural light, with walk-out access to the lower deck and gardens, this level can become anything you imagine:

  • Full secondary kitchen and full bathroom

  • Welcoming bonus room for a home theater, gym, or recreation

  • Additional bedrooms or guest quarters

  • New plush wall to wall carpet - is it wool or a natural material we can mention?

  • Private entrance—ideal for long-term guests as an ADU or an au pair suite.

  • Two sprawling decks—one off the main level, and another off the lower level—span the full length of the home, creating seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor living.

THE OUTDOORS | WHERE NATURE MEETS ELEGANCE

Surrounded by terraced gardens, stone paths, and sweeping mountain and territorial views, the outdoor areas offer peaceful privacy and space to breathe. Whether sipping coffee at sunrise or hosting guests under the stars, the home’s setting feels suspended between earth and sky.

  • Terraced grounds landscaped with native plants creates a low-maintenance system

  • Expansive upper and lower decks ideal for entertaining or unwinding

  • Elevated views of forest, mountain, and (on a clear day) river beyond

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
