Government Camp Land Swap with Feds

Sunday, March 15, 2009
by Liz Warren

I recently found anonline article about the Wyden Wilderness bill and the controversial Mt. Hood Meadows land swap. This involved trading future home developments in the Cooper Spur area for 120 acres of National Forest property near Government Camp. This came to the forefront a while ago with screaming headlines in the Oregonian but not much has been in the news since. Sounds like the the Hood River Valley Residents Committee has completed their task for conserving their side of the mountain.

There is also mention of increased wild and scenic rivers in our area plus an additional 128,000 acres of land to be added to the Mt. Hood Wilderness.

Government Camp Condo Sales

Saturday, January 31, 2009
by Liz Warren

Many condos have hit the market in Government Camp with a total of twenty one currently for sale. This is a lavish amount of inventory to choose from! The majority offered are in the Collins Lake complex. This was the flagship project that spurred the Government Camp revitalization project into orbit and offered a massive amount of pent up demand for Government Camp affordable and "easy to use" units. Prior to this project there was few single family homes for sale and minimal condos on the market in Barlow Pass West, Edelweiss, Golden Poles, Thunderhead and Sno Bird Village. These were all small scale units compared to the newer Collins Lake project.

Multiple listing service of Portland shows one sale over the past three months for Condo units. This one was in Edelweiss in the heart of Government Camp and sold for $310,000.

If a condo is on your to do list this year, it's an excellent time to take advantage of low interest rates!

The snows ripped chimneys off roofs, colapsed decks, caused stresses and strains to many homes and buildings. One which suffered during the snow pack was the Golden Poles Condominiums in Government Camp.

Here is the latest look at exterior upgrades:

Opportunity knocks in this ski mecca of Government Camp. An Alpenglade home just hit the market! Located in one of the most sought after subdivisions in Government Camp, this is a rare opportunity to purchase in the heart of ski country ony 75 minutes from Portland!

This is a great home with a super floor plan for a vacation home. There's three bedrooms, two baths, and a huge family room downstairs.

A laundry room sits off the kitchen and the master is on the main floor! Walk upstairs for two additional bedrooms and a bath. The slider off the main living area takes you to a massive deck for summertime barbeques. What a location! The back side of the property borders Mt. Hood National Forest and the South side of the lot has common area with a creek. Across the street is more common area too.

Fully plowed in the winter time, the roads are easy to navigate and there are parking areas for your guests. The home has an attached oversized single car garage too.

There are three major ski areas close to Government Camp. Forget that weekend drive back and forth from Portland. This is the perfect landing spot for year round recreation!

Charlie's Little Log Cabin in Government Camp

Sunday, June 1, 2008
by Liz Warren

Step back in time with Charlie’s Little Log Cabin in Government Camp. This is a 1926 original that’s been kept up over the years. It has all the basics you’ll need from a wood stove insert to the claw foot tub. A “just right” kitchen with everything you need to get the pancakes going for Sunday morning!

 

You can walk to sledding hills, ski slopes and restaurants from this great location. The cabin sits on a plowed road on a 50 X 100 lot. Buy your cabin now and rebuild when you’re ready for a grand chalet!

 

There are two bedrooms upstairs that are cozy as can be. The snow will slide right off your metal roof. It’s connected to sewer and water and sits next to a road that isn’t currently plowed so there’s plenty of elbow room at this place.

 

This cabin feels like old times of Government Camp when Timberline Lodge was just under construction. It’s truly an original!

$349950

by Liz Warren

Huge amounts of snow has fallen locally and particularly in Government Camp. They received six and a half feet in six days!  The amount of structural damage is just now showing up as the snow melts. Today the roof started to collapse in the Golden Poles Units near Multorpor Meadows. Beams are cracking and chimney damage is occurring.  Once all the snow is gone there will probably be an even greater amount of damage uncovered. Here is the news story and video:

Collins Lake Condos on Fire in Government Camp!

Friday, January 25, 2008
by Liz Warren

Thursday evening there was an explosion in Government Camp at the Collins Lake Condo complex starting in a garage of one of the units. Details and video may be found at this link through KGW:

There is no full time staffed fire department in Government Camp. Units came up from Hoodland (15 minutes away), Sandy, and Boring to fight this fire. It was tough due to a solid sheet of ice.

Government Camp is a vulnerable area for fire protection not only in the summer but winter too.
