What will $1.7 Million buy you in Salem, Oregon?

We're about to fill you in on one of the most amazing real estate stories in Salem. This isn't your average property. This is not just a place to live; it's an entire lifestyle.

Where History Meets Harmony (and Some Frogs, Too)

Imagine waking up every day to views so stunning, it's like you're living in a movie. Oregon's mountains are the backdrop, making you feel like a total boss. But Seclusia isn't just about the incredible views of Mount Hood and Mount Bachelor or the fact that it's sitting on 43.15 acres of land. No, this place has stories that would make even the most successful people take notice.

Back in the day, Ann Ruhl's parents built a farmhouse so extravagant, it had an indoor waterfall. But you know how it goes - with more money comes more problems. Those frogs started moving in like they owned the place. The original house got burned down, but Ron Johnson, a real estate mogul, stepped up and turned it into the masterpiece it is now.

Luxury Living That's Tougher Than Nails

Seclusia is like a blank canvas waiting for you to make your mark. The current mansion is so in sync with its surroundings, it's like nature and architecture had a collaboration. The new owners have been adding features that are straight-up awesome. There's a castle rock barn that's like a penthouse for horses, and they're even building a new winery on Pinot Nord Drive. It's about to be as lively as a festival!

Write Your Own Story

This property isn't just a place to rest your head; it's a chance to create your own legendary tale. There's a studio room above the three-bay garage that's perfect for working on your craft, and an ADU that's ideal for having your crew over for an unforgettable weekend.

Oh, and get this - there's a genuine reservoir on the property. It's not just for show - it was actually used by firefighters back in the day. That's some real depth, folks.
