About this home

Rare Deschutes Riverfront Retreat with Storybook Charm! Discover the magic of owning approximately 160 feet of frontage on the pristine Deschutes River. Set on a double lot, this charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath cottage offers a peaceful riverside setting with a sliding door opening to a large 10x24 ft covered deck—perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the sounds of the river. The property has an unmistakable storybook personality, including a delightful craft cottage/studio inspired by Alice in Wonderland. The basement adds versatility with an extra finished room, shop/storage space, and plumbing already in place for a future 3/4 bath. A large storage/shop building, 2-car carport, garden and garden shed provide plenty of room for hobbies, projects, tools, and outdoor living. Thoughtful features include generator wiring, a pellet stove, and a newer roof (Jan of '26). Located next to a public access area that is not reasonably usable for access, the adjoining space effectively creates an added privacy buffer. Whether you're looking for a peaceful river getaway, creative retreat, hobby property, or a special place to call home, this one-of-a-kind Deschutes River property offers character, privacy, and plenty of possibilities. Rainier school system. Small subdivision in the country that is close to all conveniences, Yelm & JBLM.
