About this property

Retreat to wine country

This two-story round house is located on a hillside overlooking the beautiful Willamette Valley of Oregon. The 1,200 square-foot home is located on over 20 acres of woods below, providing total isolation and sweeping views of rolling hills, farmland, and vineyards. This house is a perfect retreat from the hustle of urban life. The house feels isolated, but is also conveniently located only 5 minutes from the small town of Amity, 10 minutes from the quaint downtown of McMinnville, 30 minutes from Salem, and a little over an hour from Portland. The area is saturated by vineyards and wineries, with the closest literally located within walking distance (our neighbors, the Keeler Estate). The home is fully-furnished and offers a spiritual/peaceful feel, with numerous Eastern spiritual statues and paintings throughout the home. Behind the round house is a small gazebo, which provides the perfect space for yoga, meditation, or artistic endeavors. The house is entered through the top floor, which has an open floor plan and large windows overlooking the valley. This large room is where the full kitchen, living room, dining space, and wood stove are located. A writing desk and chair facing the view are also located here. Down the stairs you will find two small rooms (one master bedroom with a queen sized bed, the other with a full sized bed) and a bathroom with the washer/dryer unit located inside. The master bedroom has a separate entrance leading to a small sitting area and fire pit outside, and the top floor opens up to the larger deck overlooking the valley. The two bedrooms make the property best suited to 2-4 people.

The closest town, Amity, is a quaint village that is slowly transforming into a wine- lover and vacationer's dream. The Coelho tasting room is located downtown, as well as a wine bar and taphouse just down the street. A local coffee shop named the Common Cup offers coffee and waffles for breakfast. The Blue Goat restaurant offers a delicious farm-to-table dinner option. Just 10 minutes away in McMinnville, numerous restaurants, wineries and breweries can be found, as well as bookstores and other shops. Both downtown areas are very walkable and their rooftop bars and restaurants offer breathtaking views of the valley.

We are following a strict disinfecting protocol and have taken every precaution to ensure a safe travel experience for our guests during this time.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Hart

Host profile image
My partner and I are academics in California. We have family in the Pacific Northwest and frequently travel through the Willamette Valley on our road trips to Washington. We fell in love with the area and decided to purchase a home there, where we now spend as much time as possible, and share it with others when we are away.

Why they chose this property

The property is an academic's and wine-lover's dream. The house is located on extensive, isolated woods, making you feel very isolated and at peace. It is an ideal place to write a book or just read a few. The sweeping views of the Willamette Valley are also breathtaking and make you feel in touch with nature without feeling claustrophobic in the woods. The location is also within a 10-15 minute drive of some of our favorite wineries, and even closer to great restaurants, making the location convenient for having a night out as well.

What makes this property unique

The property offers privacy while also being very conveniently located. You won't hear neighbors or city noises here, but if you just drive (or even walk) down the hill, you'll quickly find yourself surrounded by wineries and restaurants.
