511 Elrod Ave

This well-built and spacious house has hosted only two owners. Each loved the cedar and the fine carpentry throughout the house. There are three large decks for lounging in the sun and listening to the river. Each deck has a breath-taking view of the Deschutes and the surrounding high desert, and the top deck has a built-in telescope to keep an eye on the Osprey nest across the river. The large kitchen is a cook’s dream. Three bedrooms make this a great house for entertaining guests, plus there’s a family room with wet-bar downstairs. Out back is a large Argentine-style outdoor fire pit for cooking over wood. An efficient furnace and heat pump provide warmth and air conditioning year round. The home comes with all appliances including a stand up freezer in the garage ready to stock with locally-raised meat, fruit, and vegetables. If you love to garden, there is ample opportunity. If not, the gardens and fruit trees basically take care of themselves, as they were thoughtfully planted years ago. Above the garage there is a finished 400 square foot art or writing studio, complete with bathroom and storage above. This space could also be rented long term for extra income. Maupin has world class trout and steelhead flyfishing and a vibrant rafting community. Cycling is highly popular along the river and over the scenic byways. Maupin has high-speed fiber optic internet so working remotely is always an option. This is the perfect get-away for spending your summer days on the river and your evenings watching spectacular sunsets. With restaurants & river-side bars within walking distance this home is ideally placed for all your activities.
