Channel Island Moorage for Floating Homes
Channel Island Floating Home Community is a special moorage on the Multnomah Channel. What makes this moorage special is that it has only 18 homes, and all of them are wonderful. The one pictured at left is listed for $690,000, and was constructed by custom builder, Mark Even Construction. The owners designed this custom home to reflect their life style and the beautiful views and location of this particular home.
Channel Island is located just west of the Sauvie Island Bridge on the mainland. The community if gated, and boast a row of gabled garages (one for each home) with added storage above the parking area. The Moorage also has acres of land, fenced by hedge roses that have a lovely fragrance when in bloom in early summer. This moorage has a on site sewage treatment center, a large meadow and secure parking. The owners also manage the moorage, and have accumulated a fat savings account for moorage repairs or replacements, and great maintenance and upkeep.
This moorage is a great choice for people who love the water and serene, beautiful views of three mountains from the decks of their homes. Although the water is deep, this moorage is fine for power boaters. It is a short distance to the lower Willamette, and then on to the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. Going west, it is a short distance to fine dining on the river at Mark’s on the Channel. The farms of Sauvie’s Island offer a wealth of good local food for the Floating home cook.
The beautiful homes and moorage that make up Channel Island Floating Home Community are a great choice for year around living, a short drive to Portland or Beaverton for work. These homes are more expensive, but they offer some fantastic value for those who can afford a premium home and moorage.
