5 Contemporary Northwest Retreats from Camas to Bend and Newport

Commanding views from its elevated knoll above the shoreline, this Newport beach retreat pairs privacy with sweeping panoramas of the Pacific, surrounding coastal peaks, and even iconic glimpses of Yaquina Head Lighthouse and the Yaquina Bay Bridge. Set at the end of a quiet lane, it feels peaceful and secluded, yet sits less than a mile from shops, restaurants, and groceries, with local beach access leading down to Nye Beach even closer. Inside, the upper level is wrapped in windows—an airy, light-filled space designed to flex as a game room, exercise studio, media room, office, or creative retreat. On the main level, living areas look out to serene greenery, while an open plan connects cooking, dining, and gathering around a bright, updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and an induction range. Three decks extend outdoor living, and a three-bay garage adds room for beach gear, vehicles, or a workshop, complemented by solar panels, ductless heat pumps, a hybrid heat pump water heater, and a Level 2 EV charger. The included adjacent ocean-view lot protects the vistas and invites future possibilities.

A study in contemporary design, this custom Camas residence is defined by soaring two-story ceilings, abundant natural light, and airy engineered hardwoods that keep the main living areas feeling open and calm. At the center, a showpiece kitchen pairs clean lines with a quartz waterfall island—equally suited to weeknight meals and lingering conversation. A main-level bedroom and full bath add welcome flexibility for guests, work-from-home needs, or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite is joined by two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a conveniently placed laundry area that streamlines daily routines. Outside, a terraced backyard and covered patio extend the living space into the fresh air, while an extra-deep 3-car garage brings practicality to the modern layout.

Nearly every window frames treetop views, extending the sense of privacy throughout the home. A spa-inspired primary suite is paired with thoughtfully separated spaces: a dedicated office, a cozy den, a home gym with a custom sauna, and two guest rooms. Outdoors, a mature landscaped backyard sets the scene, while a secluded hillside hot tub invites unhurried evenings under the stars. Quick access to the Deschutes River Trail, Phil’s Trails, Tetherow, Mount Bachelor, downtown Bend, and the Old Mill District keeps adventure and city life close at hand.

A secondary bedroom captures expansive city views—equally suited to guests or a polished office. In the kitchen, function meets connection, opening to a comfortable gathering area that extends onto a deck with mountain views. In-unit laundry, an oversized storage unit, assigned parking with EV charging, and 24-hour concierge service round out daily ease.

Set on 40 private acres above the Klickitat River, this contemporary estate pairs Pacific Northwest quiet with refined, tactile finishes.

A front-to-back entryway organizes the plan, connecting the main living space, guest quarters, and north and south 10-foot glass doors that open directly to the outdoors. Inside, granite and quartz countertops, solid fir doors, oak hardwood floors, and beamed ceilings bring warmth to an open-concept layout with southern exposure and a double-sided fireplace. A lofted office overlooks the great room, and heated bathroom floors add everyday comfort.
