World famous Bandon Dunes and Pacific Dunes golf courses are just three minutes away. The Blue Heron House is two miles east of the Coquille River bridge. Bullards beach state park, with the Coquille River Lighthouse, is just three minutes away.
The vacation town of Bandon is just five minutes away. The marine preserve and Oregon institute of Marine Biology is just thirty minutes away. The Coquille riverbank and tidel land is fifty feet away. Two miles of River View from the house! Rocky Point Boat ramp is one minute away. Our location is frequently warm and sunny, when it is windy and foggy in Bandon, due to our forest windbreak from the cool NW summer winds.
Bandon's beaches are just awesome! There are several viewpoints and beach access points along the South Jetty and Beach Loop Drive. When the weather turns windy, cold and cloudy, you can retreat to your warmer and sunnier haven on the Coquille River. These beaches are just a five minute drive from The Blue Heron House.
Wildlife abounds around The Blue Heron House. We have a spotting scope for your viewing enjoyment, whether you are on the front deck, sitting at the dining table or on the living room couch. Osprey bring fish out of the river and perch on a tree over our house. Hawks and buzzards soar on thermals over Randolph Island. Raccoons come out of the woods behind the house and drink at the river.
A dock was just installed in front of the house on our nearly half mile of private river front. You can launch kayaks and canoes from our private dock. Launch your power boats from Rocky Point river access, which is just one minute away. In season you can fish right from the bank or our floating dock.
Just five minutes from The Blue Heron House is the Old Town District of Bandon. Sample locally produced treats or Cranberry Sweet's candies. Stroll the tourist shopping district. Launch your own boat, book a charter fishing trip, or go crabbing. There are several art galleries and gift shops within a five square block district.
The road in front of the house is a designated scenic bike route and winds along the edge of the river to the town of Coquille, which is 17 miles east of The Blue Heron House.
Visit the West Coast Game Park about fifteen minutes south of Bandon. Pet exotic game animals, learn about animal conservation and walk with tame deer, goats, llama and other animals. See lions, tigers, bears and many other animals, oh my! Call them for directions.
Dogs are permitted with a deposit but cats are absolutely not welcome, the owner is very allergic to them.
Please come and enjoy our home..

Why the Owner Chose Bandon
This was a small,older home that needed alot of work, and was a very fair price. We knew we wanted to settle in Oregon on the South Coast,so we bought it and started to work on it. The location on this river is very special.
The Unique Benefits at this House
There is a very comforting and peaceful feeling here on the river. The light is beautiful at all times of the day. The North Bank Road is very rural and there's very little traffic. The slough in front of our house is often busy with otters and and many coastal birds. Fishing in the slough and at many spots just up or down the river is excellent,and crabbing is a great activity also. For us, the best times here are spending the morning on a long beach walk, kayaking the river or going for a bike ride. Then stopping at Ray's market or Mother's health foods to pick up some produce, maybe swinging by the fish market to check out the local catch (if we've been unlucky!). Back to the house to cook, relax, read or just enjoy the the light on the river. It's very restorative for us.
