5130 Whale Point Dr, Neskowin, OR 97149 listing details

At the northern tip of the central Oregon coast lies a small beach town known as Neskowin village. Something of a secret, with a year-around population that hasn’t topped 200, this is a cherished place with a 3 mile stretch of sandy beach along dune-land and basalt cliffs south to the curve of the Cascade Headland and north to Pacific City. The village is known for it’s early 1900’s cottages and is surrounded by hillsides with many small estates and family beach hideaways. At the north end of Neskowin is a casually singular enclave called Sahhali Shores, which is sited above the o...ceanfront dunes. On the most westerly-built point of Sahhali is the Whale Point Drive home. A modern sculpture of glass and vertical cedar set into the basalt hillside with 180 degrees unobstructed views up and down the coast.
