Gated 3-Acre Forest Sanctuary- Perfect Blend of Privacy, MultigenerationalLiving, and Commuter Convenience. Welcome home to your private Gales Creek retreat! Tucked away behind a secure gate on 2.99 lush, wooded acres, this meticulously maintained daylight ranch offers the ultimate blend of pristine nature immersion and modern convenience. Located just 8 minutes from Highway 26 and a short ~100 yards from public Tillamook State Forest land, your backyard is a gateway to endless outdoor adventure, while keeping downtown Portland just 35 minutes away. Step inside to a bright, open main level defined by vaulted ceilings, skylights, and expansive windows that frame breathtaking, secluded tree views. The chef’s kitchen boasts timeless hickory cabinets, updated appliances, and ample counter space. Retreat to the luxurious main-floor primary suite, featuring its own cozy fireplace, a private covered patio, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like ensuite with a brand-new soaking tub and walk-in shower. A versatile second bedroom on the main floor functions perfectly as a dedicated home office. The fully finished lower level offers exceptional privacy, making it an ideal setup for guests, a rental, or multigenerational living. It features a private entrance and driveway, a large family room, two bedrooms with custom closets, and a full bathroom, all opening to an expansive, paved patio. Live with absolute peace of mind knowing the home’s major systems are completely updated, including a new roof (2018), water filtration system (2022), and a brand-new HVAC and water heater (2023). Outside, the property is an entertainer’s paradise featuring a fire pit, a treehouse, a 12x20 powered shop with plumbing, and full RV hookups. Best of all, enjoy significantly reduced property taxes through the Oregon Forestland Tax Deferral Program. It’s quicker to get here than you think—but once you arrive, you will never want to leave!
