Just an hour's drive from Portland, the building site is nestled amongst existing vinyards and fruit orchards in a valley between the Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood, just outside the town of Hood River.
The site gently slopes to the south and has an incredible view of Mt. Hood and the surrounding agricultural bounty. On this site visit, the sky was a little overcast, so the mountain isn't visible.
The pear orchard that populates most of the property is 85 years old. The orchard is completely organic. Always has been.
Because there is an existing clearing, we're going to be able to locate the building in a manner that disturbs very few of the pear trees.
This photo shows more of the existing clearing, plus a cut in the grading that we'll also take advantage of while designing the house.
A surprise feature of the property is a secluded irrigation canal on a forested ridge just above the building site. It feels a lot like the french countryside. This ridge also shelters the building site from the infamous Gorge winds.

There are two ways to do that; one is to rent high quality units at excellent rates to long term tenants and the other is to keep your property manager on their toes. Once you have decided on a property manager, read and add addendums to the management agreement as necessary. You are the owner, the property is your business and you are responsible for the results. Keep an eye on your properties and your manager. Nobody said property management was an easy job. Give both support and direction where needed. Thanks for sharing.
