Private Wooded Acreage Investment Opportunity Minutes from Portland

While much of my work revolves around creating polished portraits for professionals here in Portland, I’ve also been investing in spaces that capture the same balance of privacy, character, and convenience that my clients often value. My newest project is an exceptional piece of real estate: four contiguous wooded lots totaling roughly 120,000 square feet (about 2.75 acres), all within seven miles of downtown Portland.

This unique property is poised for the right motivated buyer—someone looking to create a private compound, multi-lot retreat, or carefully designed infill project that blends nature with modern living.

Property Highlights

Size & Flexibility

Four connected parcels combined into one expansive 2.75-acre canvas. Enough space to create a single estate home with outbuildings—or explore multi-lot development options, subject to local zoning.

Access & Utilities

The southern edge fronts a developed dead-end street, already served by utilities. The northern edge borders a public right-of-way that can be improved for additional access, while the side boundaries meet private parcels that maintain seclusion.

Wildlife & Woodland

Daily visits from deer, rabbits, and songbirds highlight the site’s quiet, natural setting. Tall evergreens and mature understory vegetation frame the lots, offering built-in privacy and a serene backdrop.

Prime Location

The property sits in a wooded neighborhood that feels worlds away from the city—but in reality, you’re only minutes from Portland amenities, major arterials, and local hubs in Clackamas County.

A Vision for Generational Living

One of the most exciting aspects of this property is its long-term flexibility. While it could serve as a single home with maximum privacy, the fact that it spans four legal lots means there’s potential to plan ahead:

• Infill Housing for Adult Children
  Imagine starting with a central home and later adding thoughtfully designed dwellings for adult children or extended family. Each could have its own pocket of privacy while still staying connected within the larger wooded compound.

• Multi-Generational Retreat
  This land naturally lends itself to a retreat-style design, where family members have their own spaces but gather in shared outdoor areas.

• Future-Proof Investment
  Even if you begin with one home today, the flexibility to build out more later offers both personal and financial upside as Portland’s housing market continues to evolve.

Development Potential

Private Compound

An ideal site for a family compound or lifestyle estate: room for a primary residence, guest quarters, studio, and recreational space—all surrounded by woodland.

Residential Infill

Within Portland’s broader Urban Growth Boundary, properties like this represent rare opportunities for smart infill housing in an increasingly supply-constrained market.

Long-Term Investment

As demand for close-in residential land continues, a buyer with vision could hold and improve the site for significant appreciation.

The Setting

The lots are positioned along a quiet street with limited traffic, ensuring privacy and safety. The atmosphere is tranquil and secluded, yet the property remains only a short drive to restaurants, shopping, and commuter routes. It’s a rare blend of peaceful retreat and city adjacency.

An Opportunity for the Right Buyer

I’m making this property available to the right motivated buyer who shares the vision of creating something extraordinary—whether that’s a nature-forward home base, a generational estate, or a development project that respects the land’s woodland character.
