This private contemporary estate on 40 acres above the Klickitat River awaits its next owner! Perched high above the river and canyon near Klickitat, WA, this extraordinary property offers unmatched privacy, natural beauty, and refined finishes. Just 1.5 miles below, the Klickitat River, renowned as a world-class fishery for salmon and steelhead, flows through the canyon, while the estate itself is surrounded by oak, fir, and pine woodlands interspersed with open meadows. The property also borders 1963 additional acres of Columbia Land Trust land holdings on two sides. The home was designed with a sun room/flex room which separates the main living space and the guest quarters. 10-foot glass doors on the south and north and skylights provide natural light year around. Inside the main quarters, elegant details abound: granite and quartz countertops, solid fir doors with classic hardware, beamed ceilings, oak hardwood floors, heated bathroom floors, and on-demand hot water heating. An open-concept layout, southern exposure for passive solar warmth, and a double-sided fireplace serving both the great room and sun room/flex room create inviting living spaces, while a lofted office overlooks the great room. The oversized 2-car garage provides ample storage and workspace, and the heat pump ensures efficient heating and cooling year-round. Wahkiacus Creek bisects the parcel and roars with runoff in the spring - attracting deer, elk, turkeys, and countless birds. Additional features include 400-amp electrical service, two large cisterns for water storage, fencing with a gated entrance, and a garden area. With no CCRs or HOA restrictions, you’ll have complete freedom to enjoy and shape the land as you wish. A rare offering that combines craftsmanship, sustainable features, and Pacific Northwest beauty - this private retreat, built by Darrell Woodruff, perfectly balances comfort, seclusion, and a true connection to nature.
