505 Knight RD

Perched on 40 sun-kissed acres, this one-of-a-kind residence is a striking fusion of form, function, and beauty—designed to impress and built to endure. With panoramic Mt. Hood views highlighted through every south-facing window, this custom estate celebrates architectural ingenuity and the stunning landscape that surrounds it. Designed in two phases by AIA award-winning architects - Giulietti Schouten Weber Architects (2008) and Guggenheim Architecture + Design Studio (2012) this 3-bedroom, 2-bath modern retreat is a bold expression of Pacific Northwest style. Originally conceived as a weekend getaway, this Gorge launchpad evolved in 2012 into a full-time residence with an addition that created a protected 2,100 sq ft courtyard. This unique outdoor living space offers stunning views of Mt Hood and the rolling Columbia Gorge hills, features a dramatic Corten steel fireplace, and highlights the exposed beams and board formed concrete exterior that echo the rugged beauty of the landscape. At the heart of the home is a 1,200 sq ft attached garage - but this is no ordinary garage. Outfitted with 14' tall commercial doors on both ends, it’s ready for RVs, buses, or large-scale projects. And in a move that redefines indoor-outdoor living, a third 9' tall garage door opens directly into the main living space, transforming the home into a bright, open-concept haven during the warmer months. Inside, the design is all about light, flow, and easy living with soaring wood planked ceilings, multi zone radiant heated concrete floors, both a passive solar orientation and a grid tied solar array, custom wood-framed windows, and high-end stainless-steel appliances. Built with long-term accessibility in mind, the home is a creative union of lifestyle and utility for decades to come. Whether you're an artist, adventurer, or remote-working visionary, this property offers rare versatility and inspiration in every direction.
