General Overview
A beautiful custom home built in 2020 that sits on 97 acres of ranch including forests and pastures located in the foothills of the coastal mountains. The property includes hiking and is a short drive from many of Oregons treasures. The home includes three levels, four bedrooms, and four and a half bathrooms. A large fully stocked chefs kitchen allows you to bring your own tastes of home while you are here. We do not have cats, but our two border collies come and go in the house so it wouldn’t be a suitable place for those with allergies.
The Space
The floor that you enter when you arrive has all the main living spaces (the kitchen, dining, living room, utility room, and primary bed/bath). Two outdoor dining spaces are on this level. The lower level (basement level) has an additional living space plus two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Above the main living floor is an additional guest suite (above the garage) that features a queen bed, small living space and a half bathroom.
Guest Access
The home sits on a ranch is not generally accessible for those in a wheelchair or walker. There are two steps to get into the house at the front door. In order to access the guest suite inside the home, there is a flight of stairs. Additionally, in order to access the lower level living and bedrooms, there is another flight of stairs. In the primary bathroom, the large walk in wet room/shower has a curb to step over.
Notes
This home is out in the country, but is only a short six minute drive to downtown Monmouth. Monmouth and Independence have full sized grocery stores, many restaurants and bars, tasting rooms, parks, and any other conveniences someone would want.
Unfortunately we cannot have smoking or vaping on the property.
**We recently switched our previous PPLU home from our guest house to our primary house. Any reviews prior to 11/2025 are related to our secondary/guest home which is located on the same property as our primary house.**
We are not against children coming but please keep in mind that this is a working ranch and has hazards one might now expect in a “regular setting”. For example fencing is electrified. Any children will need to be constantly supervised and attended by adults.

Neighbourhood
The neighborhood is spread out enough to not be interacted with. However, we have many great friends that live on our street. Our street is actually a paved county road. The driveway to the home is gravel. A car is necessary for visiting.
Getting to my home
Flights into Portland (PDX) or Eugene (EUG) put you within about an hour from us. We are located an hour south of Portland and an hour north of Eugene. Amtrak runs into Salem.
Nearest airport
PDX (1.25 hrs)
EUG (1.25 hrs)
Getting Around
You will need a car to comfortably stay here. Ubers are available usually but cannot be relied upon. Car rentals are available in Salem and Corvallis as well as the major airports. For aspiring artists or those wishing to be in a quiet setting, Ubers can be hailed, but they cannot be relied upon as a daily commute option.

Micha
Family of four (both kids are in university now, so sometimes we would be two traveling and occasionally we would be four) with extensive travel experience looking to travel more now that the pandemic has simmered down.
Scott is a retired trial lawyer and I retired from the medical device world. We lived at one point in Amsterdam and then later, London before returning to Houston, Texas. We relocated to Oregon in July 2018 to enjoy the stunning PNW. Since we live on a ranch, we generally prefer to swap homes to go to a city or town, and the home be walking distance to shops and restaurants, and public transport if available. But that isn’t 100% of the time! We love exploring new areas. So don’t let that stop anyone from hitting us up for an exchange!
