MAHOGANY MANSION WITH 1,000 ACRES CENTRAL OREGON LAND FOR SALE
|
|
This house is a jewel, located in the middle of central Oregon. The house construction is solid, and is demonstrated to be secure; not even mice can find a way inside without the invitation of an open door. While the owners lived in the home year-round, it could also be a second home, providing a secluded mountain retreat. The house is constructed with a mixture of hand-hewn charm and European elegance. It sits on 1000 acres at a 4000 foot elevation. The house is approximately 2500 square feet, with a footprint of 50 feet x 37 feet. The house is totally self-sustaining with solar power and water from a well located on the property-all you need to supply is food. The solar panels atop the home provide hot water and electricity, and there is a back-up power generator.
The attention to detail and elegant construction will delight you. The exterior is log and stone construction, and the interior is deeply steeped in European cultural style and tradition with use of dark woods and stone. The stone walls of the foundation are 18 inches thick, with a 2x6 wall construction with outer rock wall covering wall supports and are independent of each other. The owner/builder was a meticulous and detail-oriented structural engineer.
Located in Grant County, our European style home enjoys a great deal of sunshine, with an estimated 300 days of clear sunny to partly sunny days each year. The terrain of the county varies from grassland steppes and rangelands in relatively open or rolling hills and valleys, to steep, rugged, rocky high-alpine landscapes. The geology of Grant County is rich, including one of the largest fossil concentrations in North America in the John Day Fossil Beds, which the U.S. Congress designated as a National Monument in 1974. Valuable metals, including gold, silver, platinum group elements, chrome, copper and cobalt, are found in the region.
