Dating back to 1900, this charming residence is one of the community’s few remaining homes from that era. The main home was extensively remodeled in 1996 —including the addition of a new foundation — thoughtfully preserving its historic character while providing important structural and functional improvements. Situated on a gated nearly 3/4 acre parcel just outside city limits, this property offers an ideal amount of land for a manageable hobby farm, creative retreat or flexible multi-building homestead. In addition to the main residence, you’ll find a separate guesthouse/artist studio, an oversized garage/shop with loft built in 2006 featuring 200-amp electrical service, plus an original one-car garage and several small-animal outbuildings. Whether you envision space for guests, hobbies, animals, storage, a workshop or a potential vacation rental, the possibilities are nearly endless. Enjoy peaceful country surroundings while remaining close enough to town for morning coffee, dining and everyday necessities. Elkton offers a wonderfully balanced Southern Oregon location — approximately 45 minutes from the coast without the persistent coastal overcast, yet far enough west to escape much of the intense inland summer heat. Eugene is approximately an hour away, providing convenient access to shopping, medical services, entertainment and an airport. With two versatile living spaces, multiple garages and artist/workshop capacity, multiple outbuildings and a setting filled with small-town charm, this distinctive property is ready for its next chapter. Don't miss out on this unique, one of a kind property. Call today to schedule your tour.
