A gorgeous non-traditional property graced the Portland, Oregon market, for $ 1.8 million. Well, at least non-traditional for those of us who live on earth.
“The market is super strong” Karla Divine of Divine NW Realty told OregonLive. “This is the first time that we regularly see several offers on the floating home market. “
Houseboats seem to be all the rage in the Pacific Northwest and are a wonderful alternative if you are a lover of anything and everything about water. This custom-designed floating house by Marc Even Construction even comes with an additional floating house – known as the tender house – for guests.
The estate sits on a concrete float and the main house is packed with features that are pleasing to the eye including heated cement floors, an open floor plan with 12 foot ceilings, a master bedroom that includes a private office, a separate sleeping area and living room with a gas fireplace, listed on Realtor.com.
There is also a side garden and a front terrace with a garden.
The custom tender house includes a kitchen, a bathroom, a bedroom, an attic and a terrace.
According to Oregon Live, most Portland area houseboats sell for under $ 500,000, but this year has been different.
“Nine houseboats have sold for between $ 600,000 and $ 700,000 this year and 11 have sold for over $ 700,000 and we still have over two months left in the year,” said Graham Marden of Premiere Property Group LLC at Oregon Live. “It breaks any previous year by a wide margin.”
