49164 McKenzie Hwy Vida, OR 97488

This is more than a home—it’s a place to slow down, gather, and truly experience the McKenzie River. Whether as a full-time residence, a second home, or with the option for guest use, it offers a lifestyle that’s becoming harder to find. “Live here and really live… This property adds to your life.”

Built in 2021, this estate is set along approximately 385’ OF RIVER FRONTAGE. Ideal as a FULL-TIME RESIDENCE, MULTI-GENERATIONAL RETREAT, or LUXURY GETAWAY, with the flexibility to host guests when desired. Designed for comfortable living and elevated entertaining, the home features a light-filled Great Room, CHEF’S KITCHEN, wine cellar, and inviting gathering spaces. THREE RIVER-VIEW SUITES with patio access provide privacy for family and guests, while the spacious upper-level FLEX ROOM easily adapts to an office, studio, or additional living area. The grounds offer a peaceful, resort-like setting with a JAPANESE GARDEN, Tea House, JACUZZI, and expansive lawn areas along the river’s edge—perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the natural surroundings. A separate LOG CABIN with full kitchen, 1B/1.5B’s is ideal for extended family, guest quarters, or supplemental rental income.

One of the unique advantages of this property is its exceptional sun exposure and microclimate along the McKenzie River. Unlike many riverfront properties farther upriver from Vida, there is no large butte directly across the river blocking daylight, allowing for noticeably more sunshine throughout the year. Owners describe the weather often changing as you round the corner near Silver Creek Boat Launch, where the river narrows and accelerates through a more confined channel, creating a distinct microclimate in this stretch of the valley.
Located at the end of the historic John West Bar—named after one of the area’s earliest river pioneers—this section of river is known by longtime anglers as one of the premier fishing locations along the McKenzie. History tells us there has never been flooding on this property, including the former three riverfront cabins originally built here in the 1920s, as the homesite was intentionally positioned on higher ground along this stretch of river. The main deep-water channel flows along the far side of the river, while the near side transitions into a shallow riffle with gravel bars and rocky structure that trout favor heavily for feeding. Drift boats typically navigate the deeper far channel, while fishermen often wade directly from the property’s dock area to access excellent casting

Located in the HEART OF MCKENZIE RIVER RECREATION—with fishing, golf, trails, and river access nearby—this is a TRUE LEGACY PROPERTY offering an exceptional lifestyle with the advantage of long-term versatility. Currently approved as a Bed & Breakfast
