64086 Nehalem Hwy Vernonia, OR 97064

Escape to your own private retreat just 45 minutes from Hillsboro and 1 hour from Portland. This historic farmstead, built by the Johns family in the 1940s and owned by only one other family since, blends timeless charm with thoughtful updates across 14 acres of riverfront land. The cozy farmhouse offers 1069 sqft of living space with original old-growth timber floors, semi-remodeled kitchen and bathroom, and modern upgrades including new roof, septic, windows, and sliding door (2016). The foundation was leveled and stabilized in 2017, and a nearly unused propane forced-air furnace is in place (tank needed). Additional improvements include new water heater, new washer/dryer, and never-connected dishwasher, giving the next owner a strong head start. The beauty of the land cannot be overstated! Over 2,000 feet of Nehalem River frontage, with secluded private beach and multiple walk-up points means you can float the whole property! 7.5 acres of usable pasture/hay field-ideal for livestock, horses, or agriculture. 1000 sq. ft. horse barn with multiple spigots, Edison bulb breaker, chicken coop, and flexible use space for storage, animals, or workshop. Multiple raised bed gardens plus fire pits for year-round gatherings. Covered back patio overlooking peaceful country views. With fast internet, a private well, and just 5 miles to Vernonia, this property offers the perfect balance of convenience and seclusion. Whether you're seeking a turn-key rural homestead, a weekend retreat, or a place to build your dream home while living in the farmhouse, this rare property has the history, setting, and potential to make it your own.
