44201 NW Elk Mountain Rd, Banks, OR, 97106

A peaceful setting with mature trees, a babbling creek, and a sunny pasture/garden area providing you with true Oregon tranquility. This large home is well planned, providing multiple options for a dual living arrangement with large guest quarters on the lower level, a main floor primary suite, plus a bonus room upstairs that is pre-plumbed for a bathroom. This custom-built home was crafted by local builder Five Star Builders for the current owner and features a huge kitchen with beautiful hickory cabinets and an eating area opening onto the great room that has high ceilings and a wall of windows to take in the streaming sun and overlooks the property. The primary suite has a private, covered deck, dual closets, and a spacious bathroom. The lower level has both interior and exterior access, a full bathroom, kitchenette, living room, and a bedroom plus high ceilings. The home was built to accommodate mobility needs with an elevator from the lower level to the main floor. There are so many places to enjoy the property, from the large wraparound deck with plenty of covered sitting areas to the magical fire pit area next to the rock-bottom seasonal creek. There is a 36X36 shop/barn with room for animals, equipment storage, and workshop space, plus a greenhouse and chicken coop. This wonderful home with newer roof is well located just a few minutes off of Hwy 26 on paved roads, a congestion-free 20 minutes to Hillsboro, and just 5 minutes to downtown Banks, which offers coffee shops, wine tasting, restaurants, a bank, a post office, library, grocery store and access to the coveted Banks Linear Trail for biking and walking.
