Dexter’s 1.88 acres pairs outbuildings and greenhouse space with easy access to Dexter Reservoir and Eugene/Springfield, while Canby presents nearly 32 acres of EFU farmland with established agricultural infrastructure and future estate potential.

Set on five usable acres in Cottage Grove, this spacious property balances everyday comfort with room to spread out—plus convenient freeway access for an easy rhythm in and out of town. Inside, a flexible floor plan includes four bedrooms and a dedicated office, creating space for work, downtime, and gathering with friends. Outdoors is where the setting truly opens up: a paved driveway leads to a 2-car garage and a large barn, while mature fruit trees and a creek bring a sense of established calm. The acreage is fenced and cross-fenced, supporting a variety of uses without feeling overmanaged. With views described as peaceful and tranquil, the landscape invites slower mornings, unhurried afternoons, and evenings that feel a little farther from everything.
