About this property
The Lily Pad (A Floating Home)
Do you love the water? Watching birds? Fish jump? All manner of boats cruise by?
There is nothing more relaxing and serene than the Lily Pad, a serene floating home located on the Willamette River on a bucolic farming island just 20 minutes from downtown Portland, 25 minutes to Beaverton—have the best of both worlds being close the city but far enough away from the rat race.
Beautifully appointed with antiques, artwork and comfortable furnishings, the Lily Pad has everything you need.
