Set above the charming coastal town of Wheeler, 291 Fir St offered a rare opportunity to enjoy some of the area’s most beautiful views. This modified A-frame home looked out toward the Nehalem River below and the Pacific Ocean beyond, creating a memorable setting surrounded by trees, coastal air, and natural beauty.
Lovingly cared for over the years and thoughtfully updated, the home combined classic coastal character with practical improvements. The modified A-frame design brought warmth and personality, while vaulted ceilings, luxury vinyl plank flooring, a stove fireplace, and comfortable living spaces made the home feel inviting in every season.
The property consisted of two separate lots, giving the home a generous 10,018-square-foot setting. The owners had carefully cultivated a peaceful oasis among the trees, creating a private-feeling retreat where the landscape and views became part of daily life.
One of the home’s standout features was its expansive deck. From here, the setting opened beautifully — river, ocean, trees, cedar-scented air, and even nearby nesting eagles. It was the kind of outdoor space that invites slow mornings, quiet evenings, and a deeper connection to the coastal landscape.
Located just a short distance from Wheeler’s antique shops, seafood restaurants, and public boat launch, this home offered easy access to the simple pleasures that make Wheeler so special. Fishing, boating, exploring town, or simply taking in the view were all close at hand.

A Wheeler View Property With Coastal Character
What made this home especially compelling was its setting. Wheeler is known for its riverfront charm, vintage shops, coastal pace, and beautiful views across the Nehalem River and surrounding landscape. From this property, those elements came together in a way that felt peaceful, distinctive, and deeply connected to place.
The two-lot setting, modified A-frame design, expansive deck, river and ocean views, and access to town and the boat launch created a property with both charm and lifestyle appeal.
Thinking About Selling a Wheeler or Nehalem Bay View Home?
View homes in Wheeler deserve thoughtful marketing that captures the setting as much as the structure. Buyers are often drawn to the feeling of the place — the river, the trees, the quiet, the town, and the sense of retreat.
