    About Erich Degner

    I run a mail order business in Sherwood and Amity is a quick 35 minute escape to the countryside and nature. I wanted to start a vacation rental business where travelers can stay and relax in a spectacular natural setting within walking distance of a downtown and wineries. I found this perfect home on Salt Creek in Amity to start my endeavor. We clean the home with non-toxic cleaners and stock it with recycled paper products. I live 1/2 hour away so email, calling or texting is preferred if you have questions or issues.

    Why Erich Degner chose Amity

    The home has a million dollar view of Salt Creek and countryside. The home is downtown Amity, incorporated in 1880 and still an unspoiled Yamhill County farm town with population of only 1700. There is a mix of old homes, new homes and some manufactured homes in the safe neighborhood with lots of kids. It's 2 blocks to wonderful Amity City Park and 3 blocks to downtown Amity, elevation 162' in the heart of the Yamhill Valley. Downtown Amity has an Espresso drive through, restaurants, antiques, small market, a couple tasting rooms and Chevron. The location is bullseye in the middle of Oregon Wine Country with wineries North, South, East and West. McMinnville (Mac) is 5 minutes North to shopping and only 10 minutes to historic downtown. Salem is 17 miles and you can drive in an hour to Portland, Cascade Mountains or the Coast. The home is in town so very walkable but also private since it is last creek side home on a dead end street, adjacent to Oak Forest.

    What makes this House unique

    The Salt Creek Retreat home is the perfect centrally located home for relaxing in wine country or exploring the Willamette Valley, Oregon Coast, Portland or Cascade Mountains. There are a couple nice country walks from the home. Shortest one is to walk through the City Park and head West on Bellevue Hopewell Hwy, cross the Salt Creek bridge and then take right on SW Lancefield road for a great view of the home from the farm and take as long a walk as you want in the country. The second is cross Hwy 99W, head East on Rice Lane past elementary school then take a left up SW Amity Vineyards Rd or continue straight on Rice Lane as both road eventually dead end up on the Amity Hills. The home has great West facing views of Salt Creek and there are farms, countryside and the Coast Range off in the distance on the other side of the creek. Western Sunsets are spectacular when weather cooperates. There is great wildlife viewing with many song birds, hawks and Blue Herons that live on the creek. There's also fish, ducks and beavers that live in the Salt Creek riparian area and all you can eat blackberries from August to September. There’s a side yard on North Side of the home that stays nice and cool and shaded and from side yard there is a trail down to the part of the property that contains 231 feet of creek front and hidden canoe.
