Country Living, Without the Long Drive


Some places feel far from everything. This one just feels peaceful.


Red Prairie Rd is a quiet stretch of country road on the edge of Sheridan, where the Coast Range, open farmland, and gentle rolling hills surround the property. Yet getting where you need to go is simple. McMinnville and Salem are each about 30 minutes away, and the Oregon Coast is less than an hour down the road.


Updated Where It Counts


At 1,440 square feet, this single-level ranch keeps life simple, with three bedrooms and one bathroom all on one floor. The big-ticket work is already done: new wiring with a 200 amp breaker panel, new PEX plumbing, fiberglass insulation, fresh drywall throughout the living areas, LED lighting, and a new pressure tank in the well house. A mini split keeps the living area comfortable, and Cadet wall heaters warm the bedrooms.


The finishes bring the warmth. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout, the bathroom has been updated, and the kitchen features new appliances and rustic cherry cabinetry. That cherry carries into the rest of the home, with custom-built wardrobes in the bedrooms and a custom cherry secretary in the dining room. It’s the kind of handcrafted detail you don’t often find.

Fourteen Acres, Working and Quiet

The land is mostly level and highly usable, which is rarer than it sounds out here. Recently planted in grass seed, it’s suited for certain crops, animals, or simply room to roam.


The fruit trees add a little harvest every season, with apple, two kinds of pear, walnut, and cherry. There’s also a pond on the property, currently overgrown with blackberries and waiting for someone to bring it back to life.


Room for the Work, Too


Country living comes with gear, and this property is ready for it. A machine shop, shed, and barn combo gives you space for equipment, tools, hay, and projects, all in one place. The barn is wired for 220 and works well for storage today, with room to upgrade for livestock down the road.

Another nice bonus: property taxes come in very low, a welcome number for this much land.


Sheridan Is Easy to Call Home


If you’re new to the area, here’s what you’re stepping into.


Sheridan is a small, friendly town on the western edge of the Willamette Valley, tucked against the foothills of the Coast Range along the South Yamhill River. Farming and timber built this community, and that steady, hardworking character is still easy to feel today.


It’s well placed for everyday life and weekend plans alike. McMinnville’s historic downtown, tasting rooms, and restaurants are an easy drive up Highway 18. Salem is reachable by Highway 22. Head west, and the same Highway 18 carries you to the coast. Summer brings Sheridan Days, one of the town’s signature community gatherings, and the vineyards rolling across Yamhill County keep wine country right around the corner.

A Few Local Favorites


Settling into a new area is easier with a few go-to spots. Here are some worth knowing.


Riverside Cafe

Right on Bridge Street in downtown Sheridan, this is a classic small-town breakfast stop. Locals point to the biscuits and gravy, crispy hash browns, and the Riverside burger. It’s the kind of place where a weekend breakfast turns into a habit.


Art+Science Cider & Wine


Just outside town, Art+Science makes small-batch natural cider and wine, and the tasting room is a destination in its own right. Picture drought-tolerant gardens, Coast Range views, covered seating, and a summer concert series played from a truck stage. If you love the views from Red Prairie Rd, you’ll feel right at home here.


Fort Yamhill State Heritage Area

A short drive west toward Grand Ronde, this quiet state park offers an easy interpretive trail, picnic spots, and views toward Spirit Mountain. The site tells the history of the 1850s fort and the Grand Ronde people, with exhibits created in partnership with the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. There’s no parking fee, which makes it an easy afternoon outing.


From 7115 Red Prairie Rd, all of it is part of everyday life.
