Tucked among the trees in Manzanita, 850 Knobcone St had the wonderful feeling of a treehouse retreat — private, light-filled, beautifully crafted, and still close enough to walk to both downtown and the beach.
Located in the Classic Ridge Beach neighborhood and listed by Shelley Parker of Home + Sea Realty, the home paired a thoughtful reverse floor plan with unusually warm materials: maple flooring, custom cabinetry, hemlock trim, solid hemlock doors, and vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings.
Custom built in 1998 and remodeled and expanded in 2020, the home offered 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 2,369 square feet on a 6,098-square-foot lot. The two levels created a natural separation between gathering spaces and private retreats, making the house equally comfortable for everyday living and hosting family or friends.
Upstairs, the main living level opened beneath high vaulted ceilings. An abundance of windows brought the surrounding trees and coastal light inside, while a wood-burning stove created a natural gathering place on cool Oregon Coast evenings.
The dining area stepped directly onto a deck overlooking the treetops, while a family room just off the living room offered another place to relax and take in the sunsets.
The roomy primary suite was also upstairs, complete with a walk-in closet and its own private deck — a wonderfully quiet place for morning coffee or the end of the day.
Downstairs, two additional bedrooms, an office or bonus room, ample storage, and a separate entrance with kitchenette created an unusually flexible second living area. The arrangement worked beautifully for guests, extended stays, work-from-home use, hobbies, or simply giving everyone a little more room.
The attached extra-deep garage offered space not only for a vehicle, but also for beach gear, bicycles, a workbench, and additional storage. RV-access parking added even more practicality.
Outside, the home included decks, a porch, garden space, fenced areas, a tool shed, and a wooded setting with territorial and forest views. The lot was gently sloped and private, preserving the feeling of being tucked among the trees.
And despite that sense of seclusion, the home sat on a quiet street outside the tsunami zone with both downtown Manzanita and the beach within easy walking distance.

A Manzanita Home That Really Did Feel Like a Treehouse
What made 850 Knobcone St memorable was the way the architecture worked with the trees rather than against them.
The reverse floor plan elevated the primary living spaces into the canopy, where large windows, vaulted ceilings, and decks made the changing light, treetop views, and evening sunsets part of everyday life.
And the materials mattered. Maple floors, hemlock doors and trim, custom cabinetry, and tongue-and-groove ceilings gave the house warmth and craftsmanship that felt especially appropriate for its wooded coastal setting.
The floor plan was equally thoughtful. The primary suite and gathering spaces occupied the upper level, while the downstairs bedrooms, bonus room, kitchenette, and separate entrance created genuine flexibility for guests and extended stays.
It managed to feel secluded without being remote — a private home among the trees, outside the tsunami zone, yet still close enough to walk to the beach and downtown Manzanita.
That is a difficult combination to reproduce.
Thinking About Selling a Distinctive Home in Manzanita?
Homes with unusual architecture, craftsmanship, flexible floor plans, wooded settings, or other qualities that do not fit neatly into a square-foot comparison need marketing that explains why the property feels different.
The light, materials, privacy, view orientation, outdoor spaces, walkability, and relationship between the home and its surroundings can matter just as much as the numbers.
