You know that feeling when you walk into a home and just exhale? 1760 NW Francis Drive in McMinnville's Michelbook Meadows neighborhood is exactly that, primarily one-level living, a layout that just works, a backyard that's already done, and a neighborhood worth staying in for a long time.

A rare shovel-ready opportunity just off Skyline Boulevard is now even more compelling, over 40 acres of timberland, county-approved custom home plans by Stone Creek Building, and all major infrastructure already in place. Here's everything you need to know about building your dream home on one of NW Portland's most extraordinary pieces of land.

40+ acres of forested sanctuary off prestigious Skyline Boulevard, where nature-lovers and city-lovers can co-exist contentedly! This build-ready land comes with county-approved plans, most infrastructure in place, and territorial sunset views just 30 minutes from downtown Portland. Large acreage parcels here appear once every few years. Build-ready properties with utilities in place and permits approved? It's the whole package.
