This property is a remarkable piece of Nehalem's history meticulously transformed into a model for modern living. Situated on the banks of the Nehalem River, less than 2 hours from Portland and 5 minutes to the Pacific Ocean, this historic gem underwent an intensive and exhaustive remodel from 2021 to 2023. Every aspect of the property, inside and out has been completely revitalized.

The interior was taken down to the studs, leaving only the wood floors, which have been professionally refinished, creating a harmonious blend of old-world charm and contemporary elegance. Every detail was considered, from the bathroom’s heated slate floors and custom vanities to marble and stone showers. Each room has a custom kitchenette with waterfall butcherblock countertop, board-and-batten wood detail, and live-edge wood shelves and headboards. The furnishings selected are a combination of new, high-end furniture and beautiful antiques.
