About this home
There’s something special about a place that invites you to slow down, gather together, and enjoy the simple things in life. Set on just over 1 acre along the river in the charming community of Doty, this unique property offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest where comfort, versatility, and country living come together beautifully. The home features three bedrooms, two offices and a bonus room, along with two complete living spaces—one on each level. Exceptionally well-suited for an in-home business, in-home caretakers, extended household living, or flexible independent living arrangements, each level offers its own full kitchen, laundry, dining area, living room, bedrooms, and bathroom. The layout provides a rare combination of privacy, functionality, and flexibility all under one roof. Outside, there’s room to create the lifestyle you’ve been looking for: a small barn, ample space for a garden and direct river access for fishing, relaxing, and enjoying the fresh PNW air. Nearby recreation is abundant, including Rainbow Falls State Park, the Willapa Hills Trail for biking and horseback riding, hiking, camping, fishing, and swimming. The Washington coast is also within easy reach for scenic drives, beach days, and weekend escapes. Tucked away from the rush of city life yet still accessible to Chehalis and Centralia, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy riverfront living, room to breathe, and a quieter, more intentional way of life.
