Some properties are purchased for what they are. Others are purchased for what they could become. This one is about both.Imagine waking to the sound of the North Santiam River, pouring your morning coffee and watching the water roll past your backyard. Spend the afternoon casting for steelhead, then gather around the fireplace as the sun sets behind the trees. This is the kind of place where weekends become traditions and traditions become a family legacy.Nestled along the river in Mill City, this mid-century home offers something increasingly difficult to recreate: a spectacular waterfront setting, mature trees, original hardwood floors, expansive picture windows and a covered outdoor living area overlooking the water.The home is ready for its next chapter. Restore its vintage character, reimagine it as a modern riverfront retreat or explore its potential as a vacation getaway or short-term rental, subject to local approvals. The possibilities invite creativity, vision and an appreciation for a setting that cannot simply be duplicated.And the adventure extends well beyond your backyard. Explore Detroit Lake for boating and summer recreation, head into the Cascades for hiking and mountain biking, or spend winter weekends skiing and snowboarding at Hoodoo Ski Area on Santiam Pass.With Salem approximately 30 miles away, this could be your escape from the everyday without leaving your everyday life behind.A fishing retreat. A weekend sanctuary. A renovation worth dreaming about. A gathering place for generations.The house is your canvas. The river is the masterpiece. What will you create?
