000 Columbia River

Own your very own islands on the Columbia River. Two private islands rise from the water between Cascade Locks and Stevenson, in the shadow of the Bridge of the Gods, where the Gorge opens into some of the most spectacular country in the American West. Basalt cliffs, waterfalls in the folds of the hills, Mount Hood standing over the whole thing, and a river that has been moving through it for longer than anyone has been here to watch.This is a property to be loved rather than a lot to be developed. Camping and morning coffee with the water at your feet and no one else in sight. Boats pulled up on your own shore. Long summer evenings on an island that belongs to you, watching the light go gold on the canyon walls. When the Gorge wind comes up and the river fills with sails, the windsurfing and kiting capital of the world unfolds directly in front of you, and you are watching it from ground no one else can stand on. Waterfowl work the flyway overhead through the seasons. Salmon and steelhead runs pass the shoreline, and anglers know this reach for its trophy catch-and-release sturgeon.Land like this does not come often. It is the kind of property that stays a legacy, gets handed down, and becomes the place everyone wants to visit. Note that the property lies within the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area and carries recorded federal flowage easements that prohibit habitable structures, this is undeveloped recreational land, and that permanence is part of what makes it rare.Boat access only, no public access. The listing agent does not provide boat access. Buyer to perform all due diligence.
