Set in an ideal south Manzanita location for outdoor lovers, 8955 Windward Ln offered easy access to some of the best everyday recreation on the Oregon Coast. Just 400 feet from the beach, two blocks from Nehalem Bay State Park trails, and close to Manzanita Links and the bike path into town, this home placed sand, forest, golf, and village life all within easy reach.
Inside, the home’s reverse floor plan brought the main living spaces upstairs, where a vaulted-ceiling great room and wall of windows looked toward the trees and welcomed in natural light. The wood-burning stove added cozy warmth for cooler coastal days, while the open, light-filled living area created a comfortable place to gather after time on the beach or trails.
The home included 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 1,752 square feet of living space. Downstairs, a flexible bonus space with wet bar offered room for a recreation area, den, office, or guest overflow — a useful feature for full-time living, vacation use, or hosting friends and family.
Outdoor living added to the home’s appeal, with a deck and large backyard offering space for summer evenings, barbecues, gardening, play, or simply enjoying the quiet wooded setting. With a 1-car garage, driveway parking, public water, and a level 4,791-square-foot lot, the property provided practical coastal function in a highly appealing location.

A South Manzanita Home Made for Outdoor Living
What made this property especially appealing was its location. Few things define the Manzanita lifestyle more than being able to walk easily to the beach, trails, golf, and town.

The reverse floor plan, wooded views, flexible lower-level bonus space, deck, and big backyard gave the home both character and practicality. For buyers seeking a beach-close Manzanita home with access to outdoor recreation, 8955 Windward Ln offered a strong coastal opportunity.
