Timberline Rim Home Sales are Up in 2014

Monday, June 30, 2014
by Liz Warren

One of the more popular areas in the Mt. Hood area is Timberline Rim a subdivision that wraps around the Sandy River in Rhododendron and Brightwood. After going through many foreclosures after the last couple of years, the area has stabilized and equities increased allowing the foreclosures to diminish to a trickle and owners who have been waiting to sell have seized their opportunities. The low HOA of $200 per year make Timberline Rim an attractive alternative to other options in the area. Amenities include a swimming pool open during summer months, tennis court, hoops for basketball, a lodge for meetings and movies, foosball table and pool table too. Common areas bring access to all residents for easy access to the Sandy River. 

The proximity to hiking in the Mt. Hood National Forest, mountain biking at the Sandy Basin Park located just down the road are excellent easy access recreational opportunities. Near by is a 27 hole golf course at the Resort at the Mountain and don't forget year round skiing about a half hour away at Timberline Lodge!

Twelve sales since the beginning of the year in Timberline Rim are the most we have seen in years. Buyers are purchasing full time homes and recreational homes. Here are the most recent sales:

Ragging River On Mt. Hood

Thursday, November 9, 2006
by Liz Warren

Ragging rivers and flooding hit the mountain on Monday, 11/06/06, with lots of damage to area homes and plenty of erosion. Sources say at the higher elevations 30 inches of rain hit within a 24 hour period. Lower elevations in Welches had 8 inches of rain in the same time. Eight foot waves carried huge trees and boulders down rivers. 

On Monday night the Sandy River was running at 4,000 cubic feet per second which is high and on Tuesday morning, it was running at 17,000 cubic feet per second. This was a much worse mountain event than the 1996 flooding.

 

Pictured below is a home located on Riverside Drive in Timberline Rim. The shot is taken from the Sandy River Lane side of Timberline Rim. Half of this home went in to the river during the night. A couple of homes down from where this shot was taken a home was evacuated on the bluff due to river erosion below taking out their deck. The force of the river is eating away at their bank.

 

This home below is located on LoLo Pass Road between the first two bridges. Luckily a log jam helped divert water away from the house. Many log jams formed along the Sandy River.

 

One nearly million dollar  home at the upper Barlow Trail Road area had the entire second floor taken out by the river. Unfortunately, their Lexus was in the river too. The owners were away at the time it hit.

LoLo Pass Road was shut down all day as the river ate away part of the road. It's now open again but only one lane at this time.

To top this all off, both roads in to Mt. Hood Meadows ski area are out of commission.  Highway 35 at the Robin Hood Camp ground area is totally out.... shades of 1980 flooding when the entire highway was taken out from flooding and closed for the season. The White River Canyon side, Portland side access, let loose with debris and water. I'm sure the pressure is on for this area to get roads open for their pending ski season!

We are all hoping the weather calms down so damage can be assessed and life returns to normal.
