Just 12 miles outside of SmallTown USA on privately maintained dead end road, Goldendale, Washington During this age of modern technology with all of the wonderful things that simplify our lives, something magnificent has been lost...and not quite missed.
The pride of craftsmanship. You recognize it when you see it.
Doesn't everyone dream of a log home? People are fascinated with the warmth and appeal ofa log home and are eager to be part of the rich pioneer tradition of high quality, custom built American products.
Log homes have a mystical aura and a quiet dignity that brings a sparkle to your eyes, and lets your imagination soar with the realization that pride, respect and craftsmanship still exist in the American market place.
Log home building is indeed such a tradition appropriately refelcted in the pioneer spirit and American heritage of log homes.
This trade and tradition practiced meticlously for centuries nearly died in the beginning of the 20th century, with the mass production psychology that replaced art and refined craft of quality home construction.
Thankfully a certain core of our population is rebelling against mass production, plastication, cheap housing and the sterilization of the American environment.
This remnant core of people are slowly being rewarded for their patience and preserverance. Log homes define a commitment to all of you who are simply not willing to settle for anything but the finest.
This uncompromising tradition of quality and craftsmanship creates homes of distinction and offers a most satisfying protest against mediocrity.
Is This Your Dream? Boasting an impressive 20 acre site, all usable, forested with pines in the front and back for privacy with breathtaking views of Mt Hood, Mt Adams, The Simcoes, Western sunsets, fantastic sunrises.
The property is designed to be self sufficient. Off Grid, the 4,300 +/- sq ft hand crafted log home offers every amenity required in a dream home of dignified proportions and rural surroundings. Truly the ultimate for the discriminating home owner near unlimited recreational opportunities.
The property is fenced and cross fenced for security and located near the end of a dead end, maintained, gravel road, just 1.5 miles to a well maintained paved county road.
No pesticides or toxic chemicals have been used on the property for at least 10 years, Organic Certifications would not be difficult.
About The Area People still wave at you, and still no traffic signals.
The work ethic is strong and cowboys still show up at local restaurants wearing their spurs.
The twice yearly traffic jams may inconvenience you 15 minutes or so while families herd their cattle, on horses with herding dogs, to the lush high country spring grass and another 15 minute traffic jam as they are rounded up and herded home in the fall.
It's very common on our street to meet a neighbor while driving, stop the car, kill the engine and talk, there is no traffic. Remote feeling yet as friendly as you want to be.
One thing great about a small town is everyone soon know you and you can run into just about everyone at the Post Office, gas station or the feed store.
Goldendale, Wa is in the Columbia River Gorge area at the base of the Simcoe mountains, where the wet, rainy west meets the moderate, sunny (300 days yearly) central part of the state. Goldendale is a town with less than 4,000 population and may not have everything you want, but it has everything you need, not the least of which is tranquility!
We enjoy the undulating fields of alfalfa, rodeos, grass fed cattle and bison ranches, nearby wineries, mouth-watering fruit, outdoor concerts, world-class fishing, birding, hiking, a noted observatory, horse trails, rock climbing, petroglyphs, wind surfing, skiing, snow-mobiling, golf, organic foods and more horses than people!
About midway in the driveway facing South West 5' No Climb Horse Fence lines both side of driveway terminating at gated pastures on each side. Driveway continues to circle around apple orchard to shop/barn, toward house before completing the circle.
Plenty of room and easy access for an indoor riding arena to enjoy out-the-driveway-and-to-the-hills-riding or create an equine breeding or training facility.

Garden In Summer
Lifestyle Changes
I've finally started listening to my body and realize that it's been screaming at me for sometime.
I have been so busy with other things and our Non Profit Rescue/Sanctuary that I've not taken the time to tune into my own body and the broadcast that it's been repeating over and over.
Now is the time for me to make some dynamic life style changes, to slow down the pace, stop burning that candle and look more at the quality of life in connection to my body than to look at how much work I can push through in a day. Even computers have their limits on how much they can multiprocss.
Garden In Winter
Dreams change as lives change, so rather than spend my sacred energy to finish this project I'd like to be wiggling my toes in the sand this time next year and be sitting around a Shamanic Healing Circle.
And so my dream will pass to someone else to be their dream and for their completion.
Suggested Improvements
* underground Wine Cellar * 16'x 48' Gazebo Garden Structure & Greenhouse south of home * Indoor horse arena * Continue deck & porch North side * Outdoor Jacuzzi * Outdoor Log Sauna * Exterior balcony & stairs for separate upstairs access North side * Meandering slate or stone paths to arbor pastures
Completion Needs
The main portion of home needs some finishing such as interior touches, flooring, counter tops, professional kitchen range, some paint, closet furniture/doors, baseboard, window trim. Nothing beyond the average ability of any handy homeowner. Exterior needs some 2nd story siding, fascia, some window trim.
Attached, but potentially separate, conference/rec room & upstairs suite needs to be finished, it is to the dried in stage. Handy folks could easily finsih project.
Property would benefit from expanded photovoltaics & batteries storage. Hooking to the grid at the street is another option.
Terms And Conditions For Sale below replacement cost and assessed value: $495,000.

Cash is a great motivator, will also consider foreign or domestic, improved or unimproved property as partial exchange plus cash.

No chemical pesticides, insecticides or other chemicals have touched this ground for the last 10 years, only natural herbal remedies and chemical free compost from goats, chickens, llamas, horses.. Would easily qualify for the most stringent organic or Biodynamic certifications.
Many herbs quickly grow to 4'. I've been growing a dozen types of organic garlic.
