Dive In: Floating Home on Portland’s Multnomah Channel Is a $575K Outdoor Paradise

A unique opportunity to own a bit of floating real estate is up for grabs in Portland, OR.

The three-bedroom, two-bath floating home at 14944 NW Mill Road is situated on the Multnomah Channel and offers postcard views of Sauvie Island Bridge. The place is listed for $575,000.

“This house is uniquely located with a berm in front that creates a bit of a breakwater, as well as a fun and safe swimming hole,” says listing agent Amy Sedgwick. “There are plenty of farm stands just a short jaunt over the bridge, and you’re only 10 miles to downtown Portland.”

Meanwhile, a covered entryway and deck round out the property.

‘Cool vibe’

“It’s truly an outdoor lover’s paradise,” says Sedgwick. “This area—Bridgeview Moorage—also has a uniquely cool vibe.”

The floating-home community also comes with electric-vehicle charging stations, as well as a gardening area, fire pit, and pickleball court—all for a monthly fee of $580, which also includes water, sewer, and garbage.

The home‘s interior is similarly impressive.

“The current owner is a designer, and she redid the entire floor plan, including the upstairs,” Sedgwick says.

The already singular design of the cedar home now includes interior embellishments, including the wood-and-metal railings and shoji panels of the second floor. The light-filled floor plan is nicely appointed, with luxe hardwoods and modern appliances.

“One of the wow factors to this house is the varying ceiling lines, adding architectural interest,” Sedgwick says. “There is also a space for everything—primary bedroom, guest room, office, loft. It really is a very flexible layout.”

Both of the home’s bathrooms have been remodeled to include heated floors, and the laundry room offers plenty of storage and shelving. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a spacious walk-in closet and river views.

Throughout the property, contemporary finishes “make the house modern but keep the sense of character that makes floating homes so wonderful,” Sedgwick notes.
