Joseph Oregon House For Sale


Looking for
the Million Dollar View Property

Without the Million Dollar Price?


  • You are sitting on your large deck, overlooking your own year-round stream and ponds - the Wallowa Mountains are so close you can almost touch them

  • Your horses graze on your five-acre property while deer graze in the apple orchard and hawks, osprey and even eagles soar overhead

  • You head out on your cross-country skis to feel the crisp air and sunshine on your face - you come home to a crackling fire in one of your two stone fireplaces
  • You load your boat or canoes for the short 15-minute drive to beautiful Wallowa Lake to enjoy the day - or a ride on the tram to hike at the top of Mt. Howard
  • The horses (and you!) need an outing. With the easy access to USFS trails into the Eagle Cap Wilderness, you can ride your horse directly from the house.


Does this sound like your idea of heaven?

Then this top-of-the-line, 1970's architect-designed house

awaits your arrival

This rare, desirable property sits on five fully-fenced acres. In addition to the year round creek and ponds in your backyard, you have a 3-sided horse enclosure, a large garden space just awaiting your green thumb, and a 4 bedroom , 3 1/2 bath, totally custom home. Three of the bedrooms have their own attached view deck and each bedroom has its own en suite full or half bath.

The home is an ideal 3,600 square foot (+/-) family home with large rooms throughout. It could also be a bed and breakfast or a location for small retreats (upon approval). Outdoor recreation abounds at your doorstep, yet the cozy nature of the house and property make you never want to leave. When you do, the upscale town of Joseph awaits your exploration in under 10 minutes. Joseph, known as an arts community, with bronze foundries/artists, sculptors, painters, writers and more, is the best kept secret in the west, emulating what Jackson Hole or Sun Valley were in their early years.

The architectural detail and high-quality craftsmanship are evident throughout the house, from the bountiful pantry, to the extensive storage, to the local Lostine River rock fireplaces, to the soaring floor-to-ceiling two-story windows letting in the Wallowa Mountains view. Additional amenities include:

  • The great room with a conversation/reading nook and fireplace, wet bar, hardwood floors and access to the expansive deck as well as connected to the tile entry and large covered entry porch perfect for morning coffee
  • The formal dining room flows from the great room and is close to the kitchen

  • The kitchen has 36" high butcher block counter tops, tile floors, stainless appliances, a planning desk, and plenty of room for family dining
  • One large bedroom with hardwood floors and en suite bath is located adjacent to the entry. It could also make an ideal home office.
  • Completing the main floor is a large laundry room next to the kitchen and near an additional full bath/mud room.

  • Upstairs, the master bedroom has vaulted ceilings, a deck and en suite bath with double sinks and several large closets.

  • Adjacent to the master bedroom, with access to the bath, is the large office/den/fourth bedroom/sitting room with rock fireplace and attached deck with expansive mountain and sunrise views

  • A third upstairs bedroom with half bath (could easily be converted to a full bath) and large private deck with mountain views completes the upstairs

  • A double car garage with extra storage and an large, attached workshop and a dry, 1,000 square foot basement provide space for every hobby, activity, or craft project. Space for your RV, horse trailer or boat is next to the garage.
