Einfamilienhaus zu verkaufen, 3015 Lighthouse Keepers Rd, Ilwaco, Washington 98624, USA

There is a hilltop above Ilwaco where the road winds through the trees, the gate closes behind you, and the noise of the day falls away. The house waiting there is built to match the setting. Discovery Heights sits where the Columbia River gives way to the Pacific, looking out over Cape Disappointment, Baker Bay, and the river’s mouth. Trails run directly from the neighborhood into the surrounding headlands and forest, and the fishing port below has worked these waters for well over a century. Boats still leave before daylight from the marina, just as they always have. The house holds its ground. More than 3,300 square feet with a deep covered porch, a broad and balanced front, strong rooflines, and stone-set columns. Five bedrooms, a full three-car garage, and roughly a third of an acre, landscaped, irrigated, and private behind the gate. Perfect coastal living. Past the gate, the setting takes over. Cape Disappointment State Park, with more than two thousand acres of protected shoreline, forest, trails, and two working lighthouses, lies minutes from the door. The Port of Ilwaco, a working fishing village with its 800-slip marina, seafood markets, restaurants, galleries, charter boats, and Saturday Market, sits just below. Long Beach is five minutes north; Astoria, with its bookstores, vintage shops, galleries, restaurants, and Oregon’s tax-free shopping, sits twenty minutes across the bridge. A house of scale and bearing, deserving of the ground it is built on.
