Whether you're looking to unplug, get a little work done, or unleash your wonderlustic, adventurous side, this private hillside home with breathtaking views has loads to offer. Nestled on 20 pristine acres along the Klickitat River, only 1.5 hours from Portland in the spectacular Columbia Gorge, this special place and area will refresh your mind and body.

Nothomb Hill is a 1,200 square-foot home is in a peaceful rural area off the beaten path -- a place to reconnect with friends, family, and nature. The great room is super comfortable and the heart of the house. You'll love the ample natural light and spectacular views from the grand wall of windows, perched high above the river. Vaulted, wood-lined ceilings with exposed beams adds to the airiness and cabin-like feel. In the colder months, make a fire in the wood stove (main heat source) and enjoy the warm glow that washes over the space.

The kitchen is fully outfitted and opens to the dining area and the great room, so you're always connected to what's going on. Enjoy your meals around a century-old, English farm table that seats eight comfortably. Views abound from all directions, so everyone will be happy.

All three bedrooms are cozy in size with either a view of the river or up the hillside. The master has a closet and a great view of the river with a big slider door to let in the fresh air and the sounds of the river below.

The one bathroom has a deep, modern soaking tub with a handheld shower sprayer. The toilet with a bidet is next to the tub and separated by a pocket door so people can use the sink, while others use the toilet/bath at the same time.

Once outside, you'll have multiple areas to enjoy -- all offering spectacular views up and down the river canyon. The main deck just outside the dining area offers expansive views, a couple chairs and a BBQ. Beyond the house is the main outdoor living space, which includes an off-grid, eco-friendly, wood-fired hot tub, as well as a new pavilion with Adirondack chairs, perfect for enjoying an outdoor fire, (not during burn ban season), while you star-gaze.

For a little more action, just below the house, there is a slack line for the kids as well as a great tree swing. Or take an exhilarating hike up the private road to see spring wildflowers and experience some pretty killer views.

Nothomb Hill is in a rural country setting without streetlights, which makes stargazing amazing! Enjoy getting off the grid in this peaceful, private setting.

Please keep in mind that this is a rural setting. There are bugs and wildlife as well as uneven surfaces, including the gravel road up to the house, hammock, tree swing, and slackline down below.

Eco-friendly hot tub is a unique experience, as its wood fired. This requires filling it up with water and getting a fire going to heat up the water. Give yourself time and enjoy the process, which takes approximately three hours.

Here's what to expect during Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter seasons:

Spring: Warming temps, loads of wildflowers, and green as far as the eye can see. It's the perfect time of the year to explore all the hiking the area has to offer.
Summer: Dry, hot, and light out until 9 pm. This is prime river time! An AC window unit keeps the house cool along with Dyson fans in each room. Fill the hot tub with cold water and just chill out on a summer day.
Autumn: Crisp, cooler temps, trees showing their beautiful fall colors with a little rain. We absolutely LOVE this time of year. Warm up the wood-fired hot tub, get the fire pit going, and enjoy the stars above.
Winter: Klickitat, Washington can get a decent amount of snow a few days out of the year. Fire up the wood stove (main heat source), play a board game, or just get cozy and read a book with a warm drink. Firewood is provided along with space heaters and Pendleton blankets. Important wintertime notes:

- Road conditions can be tricky when it snows, especially the gravel road up to the house, which is about 1/3 of a mile past the gate.

- All-wheel drive vehicles are strongly recommended.

- Plan to arrive well before it gets dark, check Highway 142 road conditions, and bring chains just in case.

- Rural areas are susceptible to infrequent power outages due to winter storms. Outages may last up to 8 hours depending on the severity of the problem. Flashlights and candles are provided.
