North Fork Nehalem Riverfront oasis! Escape the hustle and enjoy coastal living with easy river access on this serene .78-acre property comfortably sitting outside of the flood zone. Nestled near one of the North Coast’s most popular spots to fish, float, and swim, this home offers the perfect blend of outdoor adventure and peaceful retreat without having to leave your backyard!Inside, cathedral ceilings with exposed wood beams and generous natural light create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Easy main floor living with room for guests on the second floor gives everyone a bright space with a view. With gated entry, the property is surrounded by alders, bamboo, rhododendrons, and mature fruit trees, providing privacy, panoramic natural views, and a sense of seclusion. Some updates include new flooring throughout as well as installation of a 1000-gallon polyethylene septic system in 2015. Underground wiring was installed from the highway to the house with a conduit in place for addition of a generator. The garage has been converted into a woodwork shop, and the carport was enclosed to form an oversized garage—ideal for storing vehicles, kayaks, paddleboards, or other coastal toys. There are new heat pumps inside both the house and the garage! And don’t forget to check out the shed to the south of the property with sliding barn doors, electricity, and a new window.Located just a short drive away from all four charming coastal towns, Nehalem, Manzanita, Seaside, and Cannon Beach, this property puts you close to it all. A rare combination of comfort, privacy, and access to the best of Oregon’s North Coast!
