About this property

The Castle House

In 1972, an eccentric dreamer set out to build a Tudor/Castle-inspired home in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, and by 1979 the original dream was complete. After his passing, in 1999 another creative mind took the torch with a vision to expand that dream, developing the property as a unique recording studio destination, furthering its reputation as a gem of artistic passion.

While the recording studio facility is not being rented at this time, the home is finally available to the public!

The Castle House is loaded with unique features including the 6” thick creaking castle door, and amazing three-story stone turret with spiral staircase connecting the levels of the home. The main floor boasts vaulted ceilings and open-kitchen feel connected to an outdoor living space overlooking a multi-level waterfall and pond. Take the turret staircase down to "The Dungeon” and you’ll find the perfect indoor playground with surround sound theater, pool table area, large in-wall aquarium, and bar. Take the turret steps up to the third floor and you’ll find a cozy loft with library and desk, and access to another outdoor covered seating area with views. Large master suite includes walk-in closet and master bath with double shower and vanities.

Outdoors you’ll have access to an open-sky fire pit and many other sitting areas with beautiful sunrise and sunset views. Located just a short drive from Foster/Green Peter Reservoirs, Santiam River, and countless hiking trails in the Cascade foothills, The Castle House provides all the amenities one could want for an extended stay-cation, with loads of nearby options for recreation, dining, and outdoor adventure.

Cool castle!
Super unique place to stay! We had a great time at the Castle House! Movie/pool table dungeon was fun, loved the fish tank! Plenty of room for our family of six. House could use a deep cleaning. Property is beautiful, lots of places to hang out.

Fun, large
Bottom floor (dungeon) is awesome for someone who can’t:/shouldn’t do stairs, walk right in. 1 bedroom downstairs with firm double, bar fridge and recliners with great lumbar support. Only a half bath, but doable for those with walkers or cane and maybe even wheelchair, although there is avlip at threshold to outside.

OSU Graduation Weekend
We chose this house for our son’s OSU graduation party. It’s a great, unique house for a large party. 7 of us stayed there comfortably and had a great time celebrating with friends. That being said - the following items need to be addressed: Front door latch needs to be fixed. Every time we tried to open the door after the electronic lock opened, the manual latch would not allow the door to open without a struggle. The cupboard door under the sink is broken. Many lightbulbs on the first floor were burnt out or non existent- we bought some to replace so we could have good light for our party.The air fresheners can be a bit strong. The hot/cold in showers are switched. Not all the windows open as they should and some don’t have screens. First floor bedroom has no window. The entire house could use a deep clean.

Unique house
Very unique house and you certainly get the feel that you have your own castle. Photos are accurate. The furniture is very nice and keeps with the feel of the house. Could use a good cleaning and dusting. Other houses nearby though very quiet at night and the outside sitting areas were nice. The movie area in the basement is a highlight. Very comfortable seating, large TV with surround sound. Showers could be improved. Upstairs one seems to only have very hot water on one side. No screens in windows so couldn't leave open as we would have preferred. Overall we enjoyed our stay here. It is a one of a kind house

Wedding stay
We stayed at the property for our son's wedding, then stayed a couple days more because it was so pleasant. The place is an actual Swiss Chalet dropped in the middle of Oregon farm country. You're surrounded by beautiful trees, and there are SO MANY places to sit and hang out, both inside and out. Many extra touches from the owner make any kitchen work effortless, and the very nice washer and dryer are awesome. It's an older building in the country and it needs love to make it work well for you, but a little thoughtfulness makes the home one in which you can truly get comfortable.
