For two hundred years, mariners have read the water at the mouth of the Columbia, one of the most storied river entrances on earth. From 1.82 acres on Stringtown Road, that same water becomes the view: across Baker Bay to Cape Disappointment, with the Astoria-Megler Bridge to the south. Cargo ships work the channel, fishing fleets move with the tide, and the light shifts the whole room from one hour to the next. Remodeled top to bottom, this 3,407 sq ft, 4-bed, 4-bath home climbs toward the view, with windows framing water, sky, and shoreline. The main level opens to a covered deck spanning the house. The primary suite is expansive and private. Above it, a top-floor crow's nest makes an ideal office, reading room, or place to watch the coast move. Set apart from the four bedrooms, a large ground-floor room stands ready as private guest quarters or a separate living wing. The garage is wired for EV charging. Outside, the land is the quiet luxury: nearly two private acres with room for gardens, a future shop, or boat and RV storage, and space to hike your own land. This is the estuary edge of the Columbia, with bald eagles year-round, herons in the marsh, world-class salmon runs at the river mouth, and the occasional passing whale. Ilwaco's marina, galleries, dining, charter boats, and Saturday market are minutes away, with Long Beach, Astoria, and Cape Disappointment's lighthouses, forest, and beach all close by. This is a working coast, and this is one of its best seats.
