A contemporary mansion with curving rooms and expansive windows designed to capture scenic views from 800 feet above the Columbia River Gorge is for sale at $5 million.
“The most compelling part of this property is the immersive experience from any room in the house,” said listing broker Bill Irving of Copper West Real Estate. “There are spectacular views of the gorge at every hour of the day, in every type of weather, in every season of the year. There is always something to see.”
The architecturally designed house in the unincorporated community of Underwood in Skamania County, Washington, was built in 2012 at 11492 Cook Underwood Road to take in extended views of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, as well as Mount Hood in the Cascade Range and the Hood River Valley.
The 3.43-acre property, called the Arc at Underwood Point, is within walking distance of Underwood’s vineyards and wine tasting rooms.
Inside the house with 6,078 square feet of living space are Peruvian olive wood floors, Venetian plaster walls and African ribboned mahogany cabinetry. There are glass walls in the living and dining areas with doors opening to outdoor living spaces, a gourmet kitchen, home theater and game room as well as six bedrooms and six bathrooms, including separate guest quarters.
The layout of the two-story house and the privacy of the property would make for an inviting full-time residence or vacation home with room for guests and entertaining, said Irving.
The Japanese garden was designed by Toru Tanaka, a former garden director of the Portland Japanese Garden. Three major water features surround the house, including a cascading stream and pond.
Take in the natural setting from decks on two levels or from the clifftop hot tub and outdoor shower, said Irving. The one-of-kind home could not be reproduced at the asking price, he added.
“Everyone falls in love with this property,” Irving told The Oregonian/OregonLive. “The new owner will likely have a devoted appreciation for the inherent beauty of the region with sweeping, year-round protected views and who may enjoy engaging in the gorge’s lifestyle pursuits of wind sports, mountain sports, river sports, hiking, biking plus the wine and food scene, and the (area’s) arts, music and culture.”
