26400 NW St Helens RD, Scappoose, OR 97056

This opportunity does not come along often! Here is your chance to buy into ownership at Wapato Moorage on the front facing row! What makes Wapato so unique is the slips on the front are 80 feet out. Yes, EIGHTY. (As a comparison most moorages are 55-60 feet out.) What also makes Wapato such an outlier is that it is a 32 acre gated property, with garden boxes, fire pit area, fruit trees, and room to toss a ball for your dog. When you first turn off the road onto the property you’ll feel the workday fading away and the vast green grounds bringing a promise of peace and adventure all at the same time. Enjoy sweeping views of the Multnomah Channel and Sauvie Island. Sunrises are spectacular flanked by "3 mountain days" featuring St Helens, Hood, and Adams. The deck space is the real hero of this story. There is a covered section, a hot tub, a recessed area, an enormous swim float, and a space on the side for mooring your boat. The current deck is not taking up the allowed 80’ of space. You could build a new swim float and incorporate a hydrohoist/boat slip and a kayak step down. So many possibilities. The layout is open concept with a warm and cozy propane fireplace and charming bay window. Imagine preparing dinner while looking out at the river or chatting with your guests at the eating bar. The primary bedroom layout is fantastic with vaulted ceilings, a balcony, ensuite bathroom and secret closet in a closet. There is a door in the closet leading to attic space for tons of storage (I can stand up in it). The secondary deck has its own balcony as well. So no matter where the sun is, you have a place to sit outside! Why pay top dollar for someone else's design choices when you can scoop up this house and remodel exactly how you'd like? This is a rare find. Solid float, rated 3 (Sept 2024). Included in the sale is membership in the corporation, Wapato Moorage Association.
