A thousand steps can contain a lot of life. Coffee on the deck. The shop doors open. Time in the garden. A project taking shape. At 8 Windago Lane, "1,000 Steps" is less about distance and more about how much life can unfold within 5 private acres. Set in Columbia Rim Estates just outside White Salmon, this custom chalet-style home offers 2,052 sq ft of warm, character-rich living in the house itself. The vaulted great room pairs blue pine ceilings, Australian cypress floors, custom metalwork and a wood stove, while the kitchen features granite counters, stainless appliances and generous storage. A main-level bedroom and bath, mudroom and covered outdoor living add everyday ease. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a sitting or office area and private deck and a peek of Mt. Adams. But the house is only part of the story. A 30x50 heated shop with 200-amp service offers serious room for projects, equipment and storage. The oversized detached garage adds a dedicated gym/rec room, plus finished heated bunkhouse and office spaces above. RV parking, a woodshed, fenced gardens and established landscaping add even more flexibility. Private path access connects the property to nearby recreation trails, while Columbia Rim Estates' community aquifer-sourced water system adds another distinctive feature. This is not simply a home with outbuildings. It is a property where every space has a purpose, and somehow, a thousand steps can hold an entire morning.
