Overview of the Sauvie Island property layout

In addition to the homes, the property includes a pole barn with office space and multiple outbuildings that open the door to storage, creative work, workshops, or recreational use.

  • Two homes on one tax lot
  • Expansive usable land in a peaceful island setting
  • Pole barn with office plus multiple outbuildings

Why This Property Stands Out

This is more than a home purchase. It is an opportunity to shape how you live.

Family Compound, Guest Space, Hobby Farm, or Creative Retreat

Few properties offer this level of flexibility in such a scenic setting. With two homes, usable acreage, and multiple support structures, this estate is well-suited for multi-generational living, hosting long-term guests, pursuing hobby farm ambitions, or carving out room for work, storage, fitness, art, or recreation.

Whether your vision is practical, personal, or somewhere in between, this property gives you room to build it.
