Once in a blue moon there's a home designed to be in creative harmony with its natural forest surroundings. This fabulous artistic original is one. The lodge-like Great Room, w/high beams and rock accents, faces south to capture sun's warmth, resulting in net-zero energy use and a PGE bill of $15/month! "Live" trees in the entry, a real madrone tree embedded in a secret door, a natural edged basalt sink, a craftsman's front door are all welcoming, functional and create a strong connection to the outdoors. Every room integrates natural materials in thoughtful design. The Primary Suite expands into what's currently used for exercise. Second bedroom is the Library with bark-edged built-ins, an inlaid murphy bed and no closet. Clustered around the terraced back patio and raised garden beds, there's a 360 sqft heated studio, a fun open clubhouse for partying, a stone pizza oven, a hot-tub, and a jetted swim spa/lap pool. There's also a matching storage shed. The deep 3 car garage includes a handy workshop and half bath. Colorful artistic items embellish the natural setting--a red tree design in the concrete patio, a tall metal animal totem in the garden, earth-toned ceramic potted plants, a cascading rock water feature. Much of the home and property complies to ADA standards. This 5 acre property has an approved and recorded ground lease on a 22 acre property that's in a conservation easement. It sits way back off the road in a popular Oregon City country community. It's one-of-a-kind and very special.
