73 LONG Rd, Wahkiacus, WA 98670

Minutes outside the town of Klickitat, this custom-built contemporary home sits on 40 acres above the Wild and Scenic Klickitat River, bordered on two sides by almost 2,000 acres of Columbia Land Trust land for lasting privacy. The property mixes timber (some marketable timber), open meadow, and a garden area, with Wahkiacus Creek running through and coming alive each spring with runoff.

Natural light was the driving design idea: a sunroom entry separates the main living area from the guest quarters, and ten-foot glass doors and skylights carry that light throughout. Inside, you'll find beamed ceilings, oak hardwood floors, granite and quartz counters, solid fir doors, heated bathroom floors, and a double-sided fireplace shared between the great room and sunroom.

A lofted office overlooks the great room and adds extra storage. An attached oversized two-car garage handles a workshop, gear, or storage, while fencing, a gated entrance, two large cisterns for irrigation, 400-amp service, and automatic generator, round out the important practical side of this beautiful home.

Wildlife moves freely through the surrounding woods and open ground - a hunter's and recreation enthusiast's dream - and the Wild and Scenic Klickitat River, about 1.5 miles off, offers fishing and rafting nearby. This property is a rare combination of thoughtful design and large acreage, close enough to town and river to be away from it all but close to modern conveniences. This is a home and property you will fall in love with the second you come see it!
