The story
Emerald Springs Ranch. 54 acres, five natural springs, and a craftsman lodge thirty minutes from downtown Portland. The springs feed the house and the irrigation, so this land makes its own water. A wood-fired boiler, fueled from timber on the property, heats the floors, the domestic hot water, and the pool. Inside: stone and timber, vaulted ceilings, heated tile, butler's pantry, whole-property sound system. Five bedrooms including the main-floor primary with French doors to the patio. Outside: pool, pergola, outdoor kitchen, sport court, spring-fed pond stocked with trout and catfish, sandy beach, hay pasture, miles of trails. The orchard carries Honeycrisp and Golden Delicious apples, pears, cherries, plums, and blueberries alongside a self-irrigating vegetable garden. The 101-foot barn was built from salvaged old-growth timber, five bays below with a full apartment above (kitchen, bedroom, laundry, private deck). Accessible entry, main-floor bath, caregiver quarters.
