Description

Blackberry Castle, as it's known, offers the Old World charm of a French chateau surrounded by Douglas fir forest and vineyards. The stone and timber castle reveals itself up a private drive. Turrets hint at the interior's magnificent scale, starting with a foyer flanked by a circular staircase and topped by a custom ceiling fresco. Stone, wood, marble, and iron finishes ground the opulent interior, while large arched doors and windows bring in light. The estate's common areas were designed for entertaining. Host a crowd in the expansive kitchen, dining, and great room. Festivities can flow out to a glass-topped atrium containing tropical plants and a stone terrace. A stone fireplace and walls of windows make the living room a perfect spot for casual gatherings, and a whimsical home theater, two-story library, and gym with a climbing wall offer options for relaxation and connection. The expansive property includes a vineyard featuring pinot and chardonnay grapes and an extensive wine cellar to store collections. Property details provided by seller or others; buyer to verify.

Location

This estate is in the Northwest Hills of Portland, on the western edge of Forest Park. Forest Park’s staggering 5,000 acres encompass one of the country’s largest urban greenspaces, with miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails amidst verdant Douglas fir. Several trailheads converge a short walk from the front door. Forest Park is an affluent and nature-loving community with great schools. Despite its suburban feel, this neighborhood offers proximity to some of Portland’s most dynamic enclaves, including Nob Hill and Northwest Portland, where boutiques, coffee shops, and restaurants abound. Washington Park and the Portland Japanese Gardens are only 15 minutes away. Across the St. John’s Bridge is Cathedral Park, home to a celebrated jazz festival. Portland’s Pearl District, with its many shops and restaurants, is just a short drive away. Explore Mt. Hood Natural Forest, 1.5 hours to the east, or touch the sand at Seaside or Cannon Beach, just over an hour away.
