Property Description
Peaceful 6-Acre Country Retreat | Yacolt, Washington
Rare opportunity to own a private 6-acre country retreat just 35 miles from Portland, Oregon, located near Yacolt, Washington in scenic North Clark County. This peaceful property backs directly to Weyerhaeuser timberland, creating a quiet setting with expansive territorial views across protected forestland where you won’t see neighboring homes in your view corridor. Instead, you’ll look out across rolling timber country, watch wildlife move through the trees, and enjoy sunsets over what feels like endless Pacific Northwest forest.
The property is surrounded by towering Douglas fir and bigleaf maple, creating a classic Southwest Washington landscape with filtered light, open sky, and the calming sounds of nature. On quiet mornings and evenings, you can even hear the East Fork Lewis River moving through the valley below, adding to the peaceful atmosphere that makes this area so special.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the property’s proximity to the East Fork Lewis River, along with quick access to the Lewis River Recreation Area and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, making this location a true gateway to adventure. Hiking, hunting, fishing, and exploring are all nearby, and some of Southwest Washington’s most beautiful waterfalls — Moulton Falls, Lucia Falls, and Sunset Falls — are just a short drive away.
For those who love to explore, trails from the surrounding timberlands connect into nearly 30,000 acres of managed Weyerhaeuser forest, offering incredible opportunities for recreation, wildlife viewing, and miles of backcountry exploration right outside your doorstep.
Inside the home, the vaulted living room features warm woodwork, a striking stone accent, bamboo and laminate flooring, and large windows that bring in abundant natural light while framing the surrounding forest views. The spacious kitchen with pantry flows into a formal dining area, creating a comfortable layout for everyday living and entertaining.
The main level offers convenient living with two bedrooms plus a primary suite, while the upper level includes a sitting area, an additional bedroom, and a second primary suite complete with a walk-in shower, walk-in closet, and private deck overlooking the surrounding landscape.
Recent updates include newer exterior paint and updated tub and shower finishes, while the land itself offers a variety of lifestyle features including fruit and nut trees, berry plants, garden beds, and fenced areas ready for pets or hobby farming.
Additional property highlights include a 3-car garage with workbench, storage shed, generator-ready electrical panel, and RV parking. With privacy, usable acreage, and close proximity to Portland and some of the Pacific Northwest’s best outdoor recreation, this property offers a rare combination of country living, privacy, and adventure at your doorstep.
