Rogue River Real Estate!

Handcrafted Log Home Bordering Thousands of Acres of Public Land
Private Applegate Valley Estate with Development Potential, just five miles from the charming historic town of Jacksonville.

The logs for this exceptional home were harvested, hand-cut, and polished right on the very property where the home proudly stands today. Designed by an architect - no load-bearing walls! - and built by skilled local craftsmen with extraordinary attention to detail-from the antique doorknobs to the handcrafted cabinetry and staircase-this is truly a one-of-a-kind residence. Every beam and stair tread is made from solid wood, reflecting the quality and craftsmanship found throughout the home.

Lovingly maintained by its original owner, who grew up in this beautiful valley and understood how to properly care for a log home, the property remains in remarkable condition. There are no visible cracks in the logs, the chinking is solid, and foam insulation panels between the interior and exterior walls provide additional energy efficiency. The main level features comfortable in-floor radiant heat, while a classic Fisher wood stove creates warmth and ambiance in the living room.

The home's ingenious split-level design feels remarkably open and functional. Although technically four levels, the hillside setting and the split level design makes it feel like two.

As you enter through the attached garage, just a few steps lead to the main living level, where you'll find the kitchen, dining area, den, an oversized pantry, guest bath, and laundry room-all warmed by radiant floor heating.

From there, step up into the spacious living room, which is highlighted by a dramatic triangular window - spanning the width of the home and reaching into the rafters. It is facing southwest, filling the room with natural light and beautiful view of the treed hillsides. This room sits above the garage and also enjoys direct access to the wrap-around deck from both the east and west. The west entrance features a remarkable antique door originally salvaged from a Medford home built in 1923. It was later incorporated into another home before accompanying its owner to this property in 1978, where it became part of this lovingly crafted log home.

A short flight of stairs leads to the bedroom level. The primary bedroom features French doors opening just a few steps down to the well maintained swimming pool- a wonderful private retreat. The bathroom sinks were hand-painted with delicate roses by a talented local artist whose work can no longer be duplicated. The original gold-plated fixtures remain throughout the home, showing only minor wear in places. The primary bath includes a walk-in shower, while the second bathroom offers a double vanity and an almost-unused jetted tub whose surround still looks virtually new. Vintage wallpaper adds warmth and character throughout the upstairs hallway and bedrooms.

One of the home's unique features is the absence of interior load-bearing walls, providing unusual design flexibility.
The setting is wonderfully private. Approximately 48 of the 53.59 acres adjoin thousands of acres of BLM and National Forest land, offering abundant wildlife, endless hiking and riding opportunities, and exceptional privacy. The property would lend itself beautifully to horses or other recreational uses.

Although there is currently no horse barn, the property includes a metal-covered carport in front of the garage as well as a second covered structure downhill to the west with a concrete floor. Originally intended as a dog kennel with adjacent feed storage, it could easily serve a variety of purposes.

The quarter-mile paved driveway leads through an electric security gate on Highway 238, conveniently operated from inside the home. Highway 238 winds through the renowned Applegate Valley, an area celebrated for its award-winning wineries, scenic beauty, and relaxed rural lifestyle.

The property consists of 53.59 acres. With remarkable foresight, the owner subdivided the land into several legal, buildable parcels. Two parcels-10.04 acres and 5.01 acres-have direct frontage and access from Highway 238.

The remaining parcels are situated a quarter mile behind the entrance:

5.78 acres with the log home

14.85 acres with a finished shed featuring a concrete floor, air conditioning, and 220-volt electrical service

17.91 acres with a well-maintained single-wide manufactured home, built in 1961, 470 sft with brand new flooring, cabinets and appliances. The outside is metal and it does have skirting.

This thoughtfully planned property is ideal for multiple homes, a family compound, or multi-generational living.

Water resources are excellent. The well serving the log home produces approximately 12 gallons per minute with a 50 gallon pressure tank. The home is served by an oversized septic system that currently also accommodates the manufactured home. The manufactured home has a brand new floor, appliances and cabinets.

The finished shed on the 14.85-acre parcel does not currently have plumbing. The two highway-front parcels are unimproved, although electrical service is available nearby. The owner presently harvests firewood from these parcels, and several neatly stacked piles of cut firewood remain on the property.

Terms Considered: Cash, Conventional Financing.
