Applegate River Retreat

A Riverfront Sanctuary in the Heart of Southern Oregon

Introduction ~ Welcome to Applegate River Retreat—a rare opportunity to own one of Southern Oregon’s most distinctive riverfront estates. Nestled on nearly 20 acres along the Applegate River, this property blends comfort, privacy, and purpose in a setting that feels like a private park. With direct riverfrontage, three fully appointed homes, a short-term rental permit, and a collection of thoughtfully designed amenities, the retreat offers an unparalleled lifestyle opportunity. Whether envisioned as a family compound, an income-producing vacation rental, or a peaceful homestead, Applegate River Retreat delivers the flexibility and infrastructure to bring your vision to life.

Riverfront Lifestyle Opportunity ~ The land itself embodies the essence of the Applegate Valley—natural, serene, and deeply connected to the river. With approximately 420 feet of direct Applegate River frontage, this property invites you to swim, raft, fish, or simply sit along the shore and listen to the current. The terrain is generally level, gently sloping toward the river, and opens to a broad bench area ideal for gardening, small-scale agriculture, or raising a few animals. Mature trees and private trails weave throughout the property, creating a tranquil environment for exploration and reflection. Backed by water rights for irrigation and a mild four-season climate, the property lends itself equally to recreation, homesteading, and sustainable living.

Three Homes and Amenities ~ The estate includes three unique, fully furnished residences, designed to host family, guests, or rental visitors with ease.  The Main House (~1,806 sq ft): The largest home on the property, featuring two private bedrooms, a sleeping loft with six beds, and two full bathrooms. Set with great views, it offers wraparound decking, vaulted wood ceilings, and the soothing sound of flowing water nearby.  The Middle House (~964 sq ft): A charming, recently updated two-story home with one main-level suite, loft sleeping area, and two full baths. It features a vaulted great room, wood stove, spiral staircase, and private patio space for outdoor dining.  The Log Cabin (~926 sq ft): Rustic yet refined, this classic cabin includes two king suites, 1.5 baths, and warm wood interiors. A covered front porch, upper balcony deck, and nearby fire pit make it a cozy getaway.  Beyond the homes, the property features a range of additional amenities designed for relaxation and recreation:  world-class cedar sauna with wood-fired stove, shower, and lounge area.  “Good Vibes Only” game room with ping pong, foosball, and media setup.  Private gym/yoga room for fitness and wellness.  Multiple storage and utility buildings, carports, and pump houses supporting a domestic well and water filtration system.  Every structure contributes to the property’s sense of place—functional, inviting, and rooted in the outdoors.

Short-Term Rental Business ~ Applegate River Retreat is more than a home—it’s permitted as a Bed & Breakfast, the property currently operates across three dwellings with flexible hospitality models. The business maintains active listings on Airbnb and Vrbo websites with excellent guest ratings. Revenue sources include nightly rentals, whole-property bookings, and add-on services such as private sauna sessions. With its established infrastructure, the property presents a rare turnkey opportunity for investors or owner-operators seeking a lifestyle income in one of Oregon’s most scenic river valleys.

Applegate Valley and Jacksonville Location ~ Situated in the heart of the Applegate Valley, this property offers the perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility. The property lies just minutes from Red Lily Vineyard and the renowned Applegate Wine Trail, and only 11 miles from the historic town of Jacksonville, Oregon—a nationally designated Historic Landmark District. Jacksonville is known for its preserved 19th-century architecture, boutique shopping, fine dining, and the world-class Britt Music & Arts Festival, which draws celebrated performers every summer.

Despite its private, natural setting, the property is only 20 miles from Rogue Valley International–Medford Airport, providing easy access to Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, and beyond. The region’s mild four-season climate, thriving food and wine culture, and abundant outdoor recreation make it a sought-after destination for travelers and residents alike. Here, you can experience the best of Southern Oregon—rural beauty, cultural richness, and a sense of community that’s both welcoming and enduring.

A Place of Purpose and Possibility ~ Whether envisioned as a family estate, a guest retreat, or an investment in lifestyle hospitality, Applegate River Retreat stands as one of Southern Oregon’s most versatile and inspiring riverfront properties. It’s a place where modern comfort meets timeless natural beauty.
