About This Home

Nestled on an incredibly rare eight private acres in Portland’s prestigious Southwest Hills, the historic Merlo Estate is a rare opportunity to enjoy timeless European sophistication in a stunning vineyard setting designed for epic entertaining. Built in 1939, this stately French Provincial residence was home to influential Portlanders whose business, civic and philanthropic legacies shaped the city. This refined sanctuary features grand entertaining spaces indoors and out, boasting breathtaking vineyard views and resort-style amenities—including a saltwater pool, private tennis courts, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Steeped in a rich history with a timeless allure, this extraordinary estate awaits its next chapter. Located in unincorporated Multnomah County. Features include gated entrance, French Provincial architecture with stucco exterior, an attached three-car garage and detached 1070 sq. ft. garage with industrial kitchen, break room, & workshop, saltwater pool, lighted tennis court and vineyards.Behind the grand gates, this estate unfolds like a storybook, blending classic European charm with an entertainer's dream setting. The timeless architecture—tall, steeply pitched hipped roof, a flat stucco façade adorned with painted shutters, copper accents, and an arched entryway—epitomizes the enduring appeal of French Provincial design, a style that was second only to Colonial Revival in popularity at the time of construction.Step inside, where warmth and refinement blend seamlessly throughout the home. The interiors, designed for intimate gatherings and lavish entertaining, offer expansive rooms, exquisite millwork custom-designed for Merlo, and rooms bathed in natural light. The main floor's living room offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Opening directly to the expansive patio, this space provides a stunning backdrop of the pool and vineyard for hosting unforgettable memories.
