A 2.88-acre sanctuary at the edge of Newell Creek Canyon, this circa-1907 Oregon City estate has been transformed over eighteen years with a substantial owner investment into a thriving, chemical-free homestead built for intentional living.The main residence balances original character with modern comfort. Remodeled Kitchen with marble countertops and underhung sink. Mini-splits and a central wood stove provide efficient heat throughout. (A gas line remains for future use.) The main level features an updated kitchen and remodeled bathroom. Upstairs, a contractor-built shed dormer adds two skylights, a two-person soaking tub, and a primary bedroom opening onto an elevated sleeping deck. Below, a 400-square-foot walk-out basement with separate entrance, kitchenette, bedroom, and reinforced foundation is ready for multi-generational use for guests. The grounds are designed for both community and solitude. An enclosed outdoor room with sink and outdoor shower has hosted gatherings of fifty. A permitted 180-square-foot cob Kiva with living roof serves as a guest cottage or meditation retreat. At the street, a handcrafted cob wall and wagon-wheel bus bench — built with City Repair and TriMet — create a welcoming neighborhood landmark.The edible landscape is the crown jewel. Terraced with recycled concrete and fed by two 1,500-gallon gravity-fed rainwater tanks, the deer-fenced acre has been cultivated without chemicals for two decades. A heritage Gravenstein apple anchors the orchard, joined by semi-dwarf apples, Asian and European pears, persimmons, figs, pluerries, kiwi berry, grapes, pawpaw, Blueberries, Raspberry and tea plants. A greenhouse and garden shed complete the working homestead.Beyond the gardens, forested canyon acreage descends to a seasonal creek — wild, private, and undisturbed. This home is a sanctuary right in town.
