Cox Rd

Description

Unique, private, dividable parcel on the cusp of town. Are you looking for a one of a kind White Salmon property? Views but wooded, close to town but totally private? This lot has that rare mix; no car required, but the sense that you are a world away. Build your dream on a south facing slope, hemmed in by conifers and oaks, with views in three directions for the taking. As the first driveway on the road, it feels like your own private drive begins as soon as you turn onto Cox Rd. Follow a seasonal stream to your entrance, then climb up to a beautiful upper lot with views of Mt hood as well as spectacular sunsets and sunrises to the east and west. The Mt. Hood view has been established, leaving you the choice to open it up further, or leave it framed by mature trees. The home site has been excavated, set high on the lot to maximize privacy and views. Don't miss the native boulder retaining wall and stone steps! The abundance of native oaks provide excellent shade and wind protection in the summer, then color in the fall, before shedding their leaves to allow sun to beam through, warming the perfectly south facing slope. The heavy work of setting the driveway is done, but a bit more work will be needed to meet county specs. Geotech study is complete and the property is approved for a standard septic system. Water could come up from Cox Road or it may be more cost effective to drill a well, giving a self-reliant feel to this close-in hideaway. Interested in other options? Take advantage of divisability by building a main house on the upper lot and a rental or guest home on the lower lot, or build at road level and save the upper site for "someday." Confirm divisibility and check your plans with County Planning.
