About Sw Stepien Rd
Portland Metro View Property This stunning 39.95 acre hilltop haven in Washington County Oregon offers sweeping 360° views of the Oregon Coast Range foothills, Scoggins Valley Park, and the shimmering waters of Henry Hagg Lake just three miles below. Scoggins Valley Park offers excellent fishing, boating and other recreational amenities. Despite its secluded, mountain top feel, this property is remarkably short distance to urban conveniences. It sits just 27 miles from downtown Portland; 13 miles from Forest Grove, home of Pacific University; 19 miles from Hillsboro, home to Intel’s largest research and manufacturing campus; and 20 miles from Beaverton, where Nike is headquartered. With a short drive you can reach the magnificent Pacific Coast at Tillamook (65 miles away) and the world class skiing and recreation of Mount Hood (100 miles away). This parcel sits 12 miles from the Gaston Oregon wine region, adjacent to the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, famous for high-quality Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay wines. The land is planted with Douglas fir trees and is zoned “Forest and Conservation District” highlighting its natural, protected character. Washington County has already approved a home site, creating a rare opportunity to build a thoughtfully sited custom residence in this serene setting. Current annual property taxes are just $320 (not a typo). Prospective buyers should conduct their own due diligence to understand home construction permitting and development requirements (Washington County Tax Lot / Parcel ID: 1N4310000208). This parcel offers a unique blend of “close in, far out” appeal—offering privacy, tranquility, and unparalleled views while remaining within a short commute of major employment centers and regional amenities. It’s an inviting canvas for someone looking to build an exceptionally situated, nature immersed home.
