This custom Craftsman was built with purpose: comfortable main-floor living, high-end finishes, and a shop that satisfies serious hobbies. The 3,600 SF home (2018) sits on a private, wooded 3.94-acre parcel and delivers a thoughtful plan — the primary suite is on the main level with French doors to a secluded porch area while the open great room centers around a wood stove and generous sightlines to the surrounding timber.
The kitchen is a chef’s toolset: custom hickory cabinets, quartz counters, built-in double ovens, two dishwashers, an induction cooktop and plenty of island and prep space. Practical touches like double pane vinyl-framed windows, stainless appliances, and durable surfaces make everyday life easy. Mini-split systems in nearly every room supplement the wood stove for efficient year-round comfort; an automatic Generac provides dependable backup power.
Outside, the property is built for living and doing. A covered 1,804 SF wrap-around porch expands your living space and frames glimpses of Mt. Adams. The real standout is the expansive 2,600 SF custom shop with a 1,200 SF loft — ideal for woodworking, vehicle storage, RV maintenance, or a private studio. An oversized 3-car garage (approx. 924 SF) plus generous driveway space provide easy access for toys and equipment.
Located in Trout Lake’s Organic Valley, this property is minutes from trails and forest access in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest and Mount Adams recreation areas. Hood River and the Columbia River Gorge are roughly 30 minutes away for dining, wind sports and river access; Portland is about 1.5 hours. This home is a rare offering for buyers who want modern construction, premium shop capacity and privacy without sacrificing proximity to regional outdoor amenities. Schedule a private showing and tour the shop in person.
Trout Lake is a small, recreation-oriented community set at the eastern edge of the Columbia Gorge beneath Mount Adams. The area features a mix of modern custom homes, older cabins, small farms, and forested parcels. Residents are drawn to year-round outdoor access — hiking, climbing, fishing, winter sports — and enjoy a tight-knit community atmosphere with local events and small businesses clustered in town.
The Trout Lake area attracts buyers seeking recreation-oriented living within reach of the Columbia River Gorge. Inventory for high-end rural homes is limited; properties with substantial shops and finished living command premiums because they are uncommon. Median sales in the broader Gorge market remain below this listing due to abundant smaller cabins and older homes, but newer custom homes with acreage and substantial outbuildings have shown stronger price resilience. Expect a selective pool of buyers — generally owner-occupants, hobbyists and professionals needing shop space — and a marketing period that emphasizes the shop and acreage. Sellers should be prepared to show septic records, shop electrical capacity, and provide strong visual assets highlighting the shop and porch to accelerate buyer interest.
