I would like to swap my equity for a small house or land near the beach. The price for my house is $350,000. The equity I have for trade is $150,000. If you don't want your place on the coast and would like to have a luxurious house in the sunshine, I'd be happy to take your place as the down payment.

What a great place to live, retire, or vacation.

A custom designed 3 bedroom, 3 bath house overlooking a full view of the Cascade Mountains. The house is designed for entertaining with a gourmet kitchen and 3 eating areas. The great room is a hexagon with a 16 foot high ceiling and has brand new solid oak hardwood flooring. The master bedroom is 500 square feet, is en suite, and has a walk in closet and a sun porch.

There is a wide cedar deck the full length of the house, over-looking a 7 peak mountain view.

The house has a 1600 square foot RV recreational vehicle garage with a concrete floor, roll up doors, and plenty of electric outlets for shop work.

Heat is by heat pump and/or woodstove, so the house is economical to heat and cool.

The house sits on 1.95 acre and is fully fenced with deer-proof fencing. There is a family fruit orchard with young trees in a good assortment, all bearing fruit. There are peach, apricot, apple, European pear, Asian pear, plum, prune, sweet cherry, pie cherry, nectarine, and strawberries.

The house is wired for cable TV and cable internet. Or if you prefer, it is also wired and has the satelite antena for wireless internet.

The roads and the driveway are paved, and the fire department is about 1 mile away, which helps with insurance costs.

Home owner association fees are very low, about $30 per month and pays for road maintenance, free use of the swimming pool and tennis courts, and reduced fee use of the golf course.

The weather is cool, dry, and sunny. Usually about 11 inches of rain per year.

The house is in Crooked River Ranch, Oregon. It is a recreational area with over 30 golf courses within easy traveling distance. There are 3 different ski mountains within a 2 hour drive, and a fourth close enough for a day trip if you need more variety. The area has multiple lakes and rivers for fishing, white water rafting, boating, and water skiing. There is a close-by technical rock climbing park that is world famous (Smith Rocks).

There are many world class sports competitions and festivals for entertainment. Bike road racing, mountain bike racing, snow boarding and skiing, and our famous "pole pedal paddle", which is a race that involves down hill skiing, running, biking, and kayaking all in one race. People come from all over the world to compete and it is free to watch.
