Set above the enchanting sands of Neahkahnie Beach, 8455 San Dune Rd offered a rare combination of privacy, modern coastal design, and breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Located along a quiet private road with only a handful of nearby homes, this thoughtfully designed retreat felt tucked away from the world while remaining just a short walk from the beach.
The home was carefully sited to capture sweeping views of the coastline, village, jetties, dunes, mountains, and ocean beyond. Inside, the open living, kitchen, and dining area created a bright and connected gathering space, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace for cozy winter days and storm-watching evenings. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, modern finishes, and a well-outfitted gourmet kitchen brought together comfort, simplicity, and understated coastal style.
The home included three bedrooms, each with beautiful Neahkahnie and ocean views, along with two full bathrooms and an airy den or yoga studio with a half bath. A laundry room, roomy storage/half garage area, and thoughtful interior finishes added to the home’s function and livability.
Outdoor living was one of the property’s defining features. More than 1,000 square feet of mahogany decking wrapped around the home, creating generous space for dining, lounging, gathering, and soaking in the view. The decks also led to a detached sauna, storage building, and sheltered outdoor shower — the kind of details that make coastal living feel both luxurious and wonderfully relaxed.
Protected from summer’s northwest winds, the setting allowed life to flow easily outdoors during warmer months. In winter, the home offered a cozy interior retreat with the fireplace, ocean views, and all the quiet drama of the Oregon Coast.

Thinking About Selling a Manzanita or Neahkahnie View Home?
Ocean-view properties in Manzanita and Neahkahnie deserve thoughtful, highly specific marketing. Buyers need to understand not only the square footage and features, but also the rarity of the view, the privacy of the setting, the beach access, and the feeling of living above the coastline.
