Tucked into the sought-after Wilder Community, the Ellis Street Cottage offers a rare blend of modern comfort and coastal tranquility in the heart of South Beach, Oregon. This thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2-bath home spans nearly 1,500 square feet, delivering both style and functionality for everyday living or a serene getaway. Inside, you'll find an inviting open layout enhanced by quality laminate flooring and an abundance of natural light. The kitchen is a standout, featuring high-end appliances that will impress home cooks and entertainers alike, paired with sleek finishes and ample workspace. What truly sets this property apart is its extraordinary outdoor setting. Properties with this level of privacy and adjacency to protected natural land are increasingly hard to find. Set against a backdrop few homes can offer, the backyard oasis opens directly to protected community college forestland—an ever-green expanse of Douglas-fir and Sitka spruce that provides both seclusion and a deep connection to nature. Just beyond the fence line, native understory plants—red elderberry, buckthorn, and salmonberry—root the landscape in its coastal ecosystem. The curated outdoor space flows seamlessly into a custom paver patio with built-in seating and a central fire pit (gas-fed from the home), creating an ideal environment for gathering or quiet reflection. A mature Acer maple shades a river-rock dry stream, while expanded patio areas—both covered and uncovered—offer flexibility for year-round enjoyment, complete with a gas hook-up for your BBQ. Days here are filled with birdsong and the occasional sight and call of osprey gliding overhead; evenings bring the subtle soundtrack of distant surf and sea lions. It's an immersive, peaceful setting—one that feels truly rare. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence or a coastal escape, the Ellis Street Cottage captures the essence of refined living surrounded by nature.
