91755 LEWIS AND CLARK RD

‘Kinney Cott’ Estate, clad in stone, was imagined and built in 1912 by Mary Strong Kinney, (one of Oregon’s first female senators) upon a hundred acre woods overlooking the Lewis and Clark River and its milk-cow pastures. The Prairie Craftsman is the only stone house in Astoria. But now, it’s 5,424 sq.ft. nestle upon 6.28 secluded acres. A circular drive passes over a small waterway that runs beneath the Carriage House’s edge while immense, rare 200 year old firs and the largest White Birch, ever seen, surround it. The woods behind, being a secret escape haven for children, is filled with harvestable firewood, ancient Holly trees and blackberries. The covered front and side porch stretch the entire length in clusters of rhododendrons with a grand view of the entire river and its singing cows.The property features: 6 bedrooms with 2 fireplaces; 4.5 baths (1 in carriage house);dining room with fireplace; kitchen with wood stove; large entry hall; 30’ front room with immense fireplace; large 3rd floor attic; paneled Butler’s eatery; backstairs; finished basement with kitchen, laundry, bath, 4 rooms, larder, tool room and outside entry.Carriage House with Italian wood stove and claw foot tub.The beamed ceiling dining room, the 2’x30’ hardwood trimmed living room and magnificent entry staircase are all treasures from Mary Kinney’s own mill. Adding to the rarity, handsome, immense, working radiators hum in every room. They maintain an authenticity of Kinney Cott’s original character; its unusual sanctuary.Hidden from ‘The Madding Crowd’…
