Our custom built home sits upon 15 acres of rolling fields which not only provide outstanding mountain views but also local wildlife viewing from the house/deck. Surrounding our property are top-notch mountain biking, hiking, and running trails. 1000+ acres of ranch, trust, and Forest Service lands provide supreme mountain biking, hiking, and running trails, all accessible to our guests, including direct and easy access from the house to the Coyote Wall/ Syncline, one of the great and beautiful geological features in the Gorge area, rated a top ten attraction in the State of Washington by the Oregonian newspaper. Mountain biking trails are beginner to expert levels. Wildlife viewing and bird watching is great, including deer (fawns are birthed in the swale below our home, approx. 150 feet away, in the late spring), coyotes, rabbits, porcupines, occasionally a bobcat wanders along, red-tailed hawks, ospreys, jays, finches, flickers, mountain bluebirds, great horned and pygmy owls, and bald eagles all call Burdoin Mtn and the surrounding area home and are visible or audible from our house. Views from the house are oriented towards Mt. Adams to the north, with east views towards the 5000 ft. Simcoe range in Eastern Washington, the Eastern Columbia River Gorge, and territorial/ sunset views to the west. There is a slight summit view of Mt. Hood to the south, more visible in winter when trees are bare. We have one of the most spectacular Gorge views of the entire Columbia River Gorge area and the Hood River Valley and Mt. Hood , within a 2 minute walk from our property, from 2000 feet above the river. It's a lovely place to check out the wind on the river, take a cup of coffee or tea, or just to indulge in a spectacular view! We are minutes driving to the best windsurfing and kiting sites in the Columbia River. Hood River, Oregon, with its cultural, recreational, social events, and restaurants and movie theatres is a mere 20 minutes drive from the house. The town of White Salmon, WA. offers some of the best coffee and breakfast bagels in the Gorge area, a brew pub, Mexican and fusion dining and cafes, as well as a complete grocery store and health food market, within a 10-15 minute drive. A one-week stay in our house will not allow enough time to explore and cover all the usable mountain biking and hiking trails accessible from the house!
