500 Westridge Lane

Description

An Exclusive Retreat of Craftsmanship & Design 

An Artisan Masterpiece ~ Perched above the iconic Umpqua Valley in the heart of Southern Oregon wine country, 500 Westridge Lane is a one-of-a-kind estate that exemplifies the finest in custom design, craftsmanship, and timeless materials. Personally designed and built by the owner and builder, the home reflects a deep commitment to quality and vision. The log structure, crafted from Western Red Cedar, was milled and assembled by the world-renowned Pioneer Log Homes of British Columbia. The result is a striking architectural presence with handcrafted log framing, soaring ceilings, and a seamless blend of rustic elegance and modern comfort. Every element—from the stone fireplaces to the reclaimed woodwork and thoughtfully curated spaces—speaks to the care and intention behind its creation.

Set on 5 private acres in Westridge Estates, the property offers a combination of seclusion and scenic beauty, with panoramic views of rolling vineyards and woodlands. The home’s positioning maximizes natural light and sightlines, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether enjoying the expansive covered decks, gathering by the outdoor fire pit, or relaxing in the stunning great room, this residence is designed for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship and an unparalleled living experience.

The log and timber construction reflects old-world Swiss joinery fused with modern luxury, from hand-scraped reclaimed Douglas Fir cabinetry—salvaged from a burning historic lodge—to the loft's hand-charred pine tongue-and-groove walkway. Custom plaster walls and wrought-iron railings crafted by an award-winning welder add character. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered—from the guest bathroom’s hollowed-out log vanity to the hidden grasshopper forged into the staircase railing for good luck.

Main Level ~  As you step inside, you are greeted by powerful architecture and a quartzite-inlaid floor with a precision-cut map of the United States, setting the tone for the home’s attention to craftsmanship and detail. The great room captivates with soaring vaulted ceilings supported by log beams, a flagstone hybrid wood-burning fireplace, wrought-iron railings and a wall of glass doors that open to a large covered patio. The space is finished with a refined mix of Western Red Cedar logs, wood accents, and plaster walls, offering both rustic warmth and elegant contrast.  A built-in entertainment center houses a large TV with integrated surround sound, ideal for both relaxing evenings and lively gatherings.

Step outside to a stone patio, where the east-facing orientation welcomes the morning light. The covered patio includes a built-in outdoor kitchen with a stainless steel BBQ and beverage fridge, plus a custom gas fire pit—creating the perfect setting for outdoor living.  From here, take in breathtaking views of rolling vineyards, the South Umpqua River, and Bar Run Golf Course beyond.

Seamlessly connected to the great room, the gourmet kitchen and dining area are thoughtfully designed to balance everyday comfort, entertaining, and great functionality. Warm hickory wood floors and authentic reclaimed and hand scaped Douglas Fir cabinetry enhance the unique natural character, while granite countertops and high-end GE and Bosch appliances provide both elegance and performance. A spacious cooktop island seats eight, making it the centerpiece for casual meals and conversation. A large walk-in pantry with shelving, plus a Whirlpool Gladiator refrigerator and freezer adds convenience and functionality, while a cozy bonus room offers a flexible space for a 2nd home office, craft nook, or butler’s pantry.  The open layout continues into the expansive dining area, where a wall of windows captures stunning views of the Umpqua Valley and provides direct access to the covered patio, perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining.

The main-level master suite is designed for both comfort and privacy. A large picture window frames the sunrise and views that stretch across the valley, filling the room with natural light. A slate gas fireplace creates a cozy retreat.  The suite features two custom walk-in closets—one accessed from the bedroom and the other from the bathroom—both offering built-in shelving for thoughtful organization and storage. The spa-like en-suite bathroom is beautifully appointed with heated travertine flooring, a jetted tub, a walk-in tile shower, enclosed water closet and a Smart Vanity Mirror with adjustable lighting. 

Just off the main living area, the floor plan includes a office with slate flooring and a built-in closet—perfect for working from home. A nearby guest bathroom features a unique custom vanity made from a hollowed-out log, adding a artistic touch. The main-level laundry room is both functional and spacious, with a utility sink, folding counter, and beautiful built in cabinetry.

Second Level ~  Upstairs, the floor plan is centered around an impressive open walkway crafted from hand-charred pine tongue and groove. This elevated catwalk splits the upstairs floor plan, with a bedroom suite on one side and the living space, along with 2 more guest bedrooms on the other.

The north bedroom is expansive, offering a private bathroom and oversized picture windows that fill the space with natural light and frame beautiful views. On the opposite end of the home, the southeast and southwest bedrooms mirror each other in size and layout, both generously proportioned and full of personality. The southwest bedroom features vaulted ceilings, built-in window seating, and a whimsical kids alcove room that once served as a Lego city, reading nook, and walk-in dollhouse (also serves as a storage space). The southeast bedroom also vaulted ceilings and a charming built-in swing, adding a playful and cozy element.

A spacious upstairs living area sits between the bedrooms, ideal as a family room, TV lounge, homeschool room or play space. The guest bathroom is well-appointed with granite countertops, travertine tile floors, a tub/shower combo, double sinks, and saloon-style doors to the water closet. The second laundry room adds extra convenience, complete with washer and dryer, and a storage closet—great for luggage, or seasonal décor. 

The Ultimate Man Cave ~  One of the most extraordinary features of the estate lies beneath the main level— A 1,400+ Sq. Ft. custom concrete "man cave" that delivers a one-of-a-kind experience. This underground retreat is accessible through a hidden door from the main floor or via an exterior entry modeled after a classic miner’s shaft, offering incredible intrigue. Designed and constructed by tradesmen whose work has been featured on HGTV, MTV Cribs, and Discovery’s Monster House, the space is a true showpiece. At its heart is a full wet bar with granite countertops, a built-in kegerator, custom cabinetry, wine cooler, and three big-screen TVs—ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or hosting game night. An authentic Las Vegas poker table anchors the lounge area, while a half bath features a wine barrel vanity that adds rustic charm and character. A cozy gas fireplace provides warmth and ambiance, and the polished concrete flooring ties the space together. A secure room, accessed through a Graffunder vault door features dual counters and built-in storage is perfect for outdoor gear, firearms, documents, or other valuables. Whether you're entertaining friends or simply seeking a private retreat, this lower-level space brings unmatched personality to the home.

Technology & Conveniences ~  The home is equipped with a full Crestron Smart Home System, offering remote control of lighting, audio, and TVs via tablet or smartphone from anywhere in the world. A Sonos surround sound system delivers high-fidelity audio throughout the interior and exterior living spaces, enabling seamless entertainment at the touch of a button. The home is wired with DFN Fiber internet (up to 1 GB speeds available) and has radiant floor heat in the 4 car garage—where you’ll also find a Tesla 240V charger and extensive built-in storage.

Outdoor Features & Location ~  The grounds are both elegant and functional with mature landscaping, an automatic irrigation and drip system, a fenced garden with raised beds and deer fencing, and a wood-burning fire pit with stone seating. Fruit trees include Asian pear, apple, and plum varieties. The lower platue is leveled and ready for a future shop.
