Custom NW Contemporary Retreat on 3.8 Private Acres in Portland’s Forest Park! Thoughtfully designed by local architect and UofO professor J.M. Cava, this stunning, site-specific home preserves the natural forest setting, minimizing land disturbance and incorporating trees felled during construction. Tucked back off Skyline, this custom one-level blends sustainable luxury and serene seclusion. Vaulted ceilings, radiant hydronic concrete floors, and massive windows with electric blinds invite natural light and forest views throughout. Wood floors and columns milled on-site from Big Leaf Maple and Douglas Fir. Exposed posts and beams, copper gutters and downspouts, and extraordinary details speak to enduring craftsmanship. The expansive living area features a freestanding Malm fireplace with steel hearth and stylish wood built-ins. Big Branch Woodworking added custom closets, shelving, and an office barn door that enrich the home with warmth and function. The sleek chef’s kitchen includes stainless steel counters, a Blue Star range, Vent-a-Hood, walk-in pantry, full wall of windows, and a peninsula island with bar seating, truly a hosting cook’s dream. The main home includes two bedrooms plus dedicated office. The Scandi-modern primary suite bath features a curbless shower, clawfoot tub, dbl-vanity, laundry, and exterior access to hot tub pad. A beautifully crafted guesthouse, connected by covered walkway, offers privacy for guests or an inspiring workspace. Both homes include updated bathrooms, new appliances, and custom upgrades. Enjoy a large patio, outdoor shower, trails to a rustic firepit, rope swing, and your own private forest, backing directly to North Abbey Creek Watershed Natural Area. Casement windows provide airflow, keeping things cool without AC. New water heaters (2020/2021), new septic pump (2025), and thoughtful updates ensure peace of mind. This is more than a home, it’s a curated experience in design, nature, and tranquility. Offers by Mon 5/12 4pm [Home Energy Score = 8.
