River life at this remarkable 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is a true blessing. At just 20 feet from the McKenzie River, it is the largest home this close to the water. The ever-changing river scene provides endless entertainment, from ducks and ducklings to bald eagles and ospreys.

Whitewater rafters and drift-boat anglers floating past are constant reminders of the surrounding outdoor paradise. Privacy is exceptional, with an automated front gate, cameras, and tall fencing that screens distant homes from view. The river's constant flow creates a cool, refreshing microclimate, perfect for enjoying the riverside hot tub and fire pit.

On summer afternoons, set lawn chairs in the water along the broad gravel bank. Salmon spawn beneath the tree-shaded banks, and with waders, catching dinner is easy along the channel seam. Launch a raft, drift boat, or paddleboard directly from the property's 650 feet of river frontage.

The landscaping and expansive, level lawn were professionally designed. Recent upgrades include kitchen appliances, a water heater, a backup generator, and an HVAC system. Furniture and household items are included. Most guests are repeat visitors who rent by the week, keeping cleaning and maintenance costs low.
