Private 0.5-Acre Ranch with Energy Upgrades and Covered Patio
This is a home defined by its lot: a level, half-acre parcel off SW Jaquith Road that delivers rare privacy with no immediate neighbors and room to spread out. The two-story ranch sits comfortably on the property, with a covered patio that opens to mature landscaping and plenty of space for a garden, play area, or future outdoor amenities. Practical updates — a new heat pump (2025) and a new water heater (2026) — make the property an attractive, lower-maintenance option right now.
Step inside to 2,200 square feet of well-maintained living space where vinyl plank flooring, tile and carpet create a comfortable, modern palette. The main rooms offer flexible arrangements for family life and entertaining: a generous living area, separate dining space, and four bedrooms that accommodate both home office and guest needs. Central AC and the recently installed heat pump improve year-round comfort, while composition shingle roofing is standard construction for the era (roof inspection recommended).
Sited in Yamhill County’s AF-20 zoning, the property supports single-family residential use and some agricultural or forestry activities — a feature that will appeal to buyers who value space and the possibility of hobby farming or additional outbuildings (confirm specifics with county planning). Utilities are municipal for water and sewer, with NW Natural gas and PGE electric service. The driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles; there is no attached garage.
Location adds practical appeal: Chehalem Glenn Golf Course, George Fox University and Downtown Newberg are all a short drive away, with medical care at Providence Newberg within roughly five miles. Local schools in the Newberg School District receive strong marks, supporting the family-friendly character of this area. Recent comparable sales nearby range from $550K–$600K, and the valuation analysis places this property around a $575,000 midpoint, reflecting both the sizeable lot and recent mechanical upgrades. Buyers should verify roof condition and zoning details as part of routine due diligence.
Thoughtful updates, a generous lot, and a quiet setting combine to make 23355 SW Jaquith Road a compelling option for buyers seeking space close to Newberg’s amenities. Whether you’re planning to settle in, expand outdoor living, or hold as a rental (strong local demand), the home balances immediate livability with future possibilities.

Newberg’s market currently favors sellers: inventory sits near 2.5 months and the area records an average of roughly 71 days on market, with homes frequently receiving multiple offers. Median sale prices for the broader area are reported around $504,000, with one-year appreciation near 5% and five-year appreciation about 25%.

Single-family homes on larger lots — like this 0.5-acre ranch — perform well in Newberg, attracting families and buyers seeking privacy and outdoor space. Limited inventory and steady demand from buyers relocating from both Portland and surrounding communities mean well-priced, updated properties tend to move faster than average. For investors, estimated monthly rent for comparable 4BR homes is around $2,400–$2,600, yielding a gross rental rate near 5.2%.
For prospective buyers, now is a favorable window to secure a larger-lot property before inventory increases and competition grows. Key considerations include verifying AF-20 zoning implications, confirming roof condition, and locking in financing terms in a market where offers can be competitive.
