Just Listed! BYOV | Bring Your Own Vision | NW Portland | 5 Acres!

By Lauren Hurley, March 26, 2021

17763 NW Emmaus Lane,

Portland, Oregon, 97231


Just beyond the little white church off Germantown Road at NW 185th, is a 5 acre parcel of land at the end of a lane, waiting for a dreamer. Incredibly diverse in its offerings, the acreage is nestled along Rock Creek and truly showcases all of what we love in Portland’s Northwest farm country. Abundant light and open field space, just look and you’ll discover an ideal, level plat to build your dream home. Whether modern or traditional or a mix of the two, you’ll cherish the quiet nature at the very end of NW Emmaus Lane. Listen for the owls, look up for the eagles and hawks, look down for tracks by the local elk. Start sketching. Start brainstorming. Curate your perfect hygge home. (Keep in mind, only 1 dream home is allowed on this acreage) Will you keep the mini apple orchard and prune n’ plant some more? Will there be a meditation grove tucked behind the neighboring pond, maybe a dozen Pinot grapevines across the gentle slope? Will you continue to perfect the trail leading to Rock Creek, just a jaunt below? Will you hang a rope swing–kids and dogs in toe?
A new sturdy shed and generous carport are waiting, to give you cover as you sketch and think and discover. What is your farm life dream, just twenty-some minutes from city center?
