The Barrett/Walker House: A Masterclass in Thoughtful Living

In the heart of Oregon’s stunning Pine Valley, the Barrett/Walker House is a masterclass in thoughtful living where historic heritage, sustainable design, and pastoral beauty meet. Set on 10.58 acres of fertile land with year-round water and views in every direction, this unique offering is more than a home,its a place to root, grow, and create a life in rhythm with the land.

Originally constructed in 2007 and artfully incorporating an 1870s hand-hewn log cabin, the home blends rustic authenticity with modern comfort. At the heart of the open-concept floor plan is a light-filled living and dining area, grounded by reclaimed old-growth Douglas Fir floors and warmed by a Hearthstone wood stove. Clear Pine flooring and trim, locally sourced, flows throughout the home, enhanced by hand-plastered walls and post-and-beam log timbers.

A gourmet cooks dream, the kitchen features a French Lacanche range, artisan tile, custom wood cabinetry, and a peninsula topped with a repurposed butcher block once used in a Seattle bakery. Marvin windows frame panoramic views of the Wallowa Mountains, valley pastures, and Pine Creekyour own private stretch of riparian corridor at the rear of the property.

Step outside to expansive covered porches, a south-facing terrace overlooking the creek, and the sounds of running water and bird song. Gardeners will delight in fenced raised beds, fruit trees, and mature berry bushes. With both upper and lower pastures, accessible by vehicle and foot bridges, this property is well-suited for livestock, hobby farming, or simply a serene retreat.
