Pick dinner from the garden and dessert from the orchard, then serve it out on the deck to watch sailboats on the lake and admire Sisters in the distance.  If it's chilly, watch from the kitchen window, the choice is yours.  Situated on a rise above Fern Ridge reservoir, the house provides views over the lake, garden, and orchard.  Irrigated landscaping slopes down to Zumwalt park and the lakeshore with perennial shrubs and trees providing privacy and enchantment.  Direct access to the park and lake is great for either kayaks or dog walking, or just wandering.A greenhouse with water and power provides early starts for the fruit/vegetable garden and winter shelter for delicate plants.  The orchard delivers many varieties of fruit in season and houses chickens, goats or sheep as you see fit.The newly painted house is bright with daylight and open plan.  The kitchen features skylights and views on three sides.  A central quartz-topped island with induction cooktop is surrounded by custom cabinetry and ample workspace.A new heat pump provides forced-air heating and cooling, with 14 solar panels to offset the cost.  New double-pained windows throughout provide additional insulation, but a low-emission Danish stove delivers coziness.  Pick a book from the floor-to-ceiling shelves and settle down.In the master bedroom on the first floor, enjoy a designer bathroom with underfloor heating, a walk-in closet, and access to the private deck. Two upstairs bedrooms share a re-modeled full bathroom and outstanding views.  The laundry room on the first floor includes ample storage and a dog door with private doggy deck, leading to a fenced run.The attached two-car garage is supplemented by an 18'x 30' covered parking shelter with power for boat or RV.  The adjacent workshop is 24'x 24', but relax, there's a full moon over the lake tonight.
