Walk with me across these 23 acres

belladaze — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 16:35:41 +0000

Some of our lovely Oregon properties beg to show off more than 16 RMLS photos. This gorgeous acreage and home is one that is best portrayed in a still video.

Note: this homes Interior photos begin at 2:08

Come take a walk through the 23+ acres and soak up the private views of this stunning home. Even the cows and horses have wonderful views of Goat Mountain. I was also very impressed with the strong fencing that is well laid out over the land. Next to the home is a combination shop and horse barn. This parcel also boasts a second larger barn which is very well built for cattle and big enough to house large equipment and vehicles. There also is an intriguing rustic building that could make someone like me an exciting studio space. I can imagine starting my work day taking a walk down the private lane, watching the animals drawn to the pond, discovering birds nesting in a patch of growing Christmas trees, singing outloud as I wander to the studio, and getting to do it all over again on my way back to the daily activities of the family house. Ahhhh – sweet sighs!

Virtual Tour of a Lovely Round House in the Oregon Woods

belladaze — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 04:03:04 +0000

Here is a visual tour of the exciting round house in the forest that I photographed a few weeks back. This still photo video lets you tour the home in every season while you enjoy an original tune by RJ Ballard.

For a personal tour contact Deena Kraft, Windermere Broker 503.970.8889.

Note: I am always grateful when a homeowner offers photos of their home. I was able to incorporate many personal pictures into this video. After all, I am generally on the property once, twice, sometimes three times, so I cannot see all the love and moods of every season. This unique carousel home is such a home. I could feel the love even though life changes have led the owner elsewhere . . . thank you dear homeowner for helping me tell more of your homes story.

And this was my favorite of the homeowner’s photos:

Look closely and you can see this is a double rainbow between the round house and Goat Mountain. Nice!!!!

Stunning Mt Hood View Home – PENDING!

belladaze — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 18:18:14 +0000

Mt Hood looms large from many Portland Oregon area homes but this home is really a treat. It was fun to photograph and I found it to be an exciting kid mecca and critter lovers dream. The custom quality is evident from first glance and later inspection just gets better and better. See for yourself!

Something for Animal Lovers – A Tiled Dog Spa Room at Elk Meadow

belladaze — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 16:53:57 +0000

I got very excited when I entered this Animal Spa Room – absolute paradise for anyone who lives with critters and wants them “company fresh” at all times. The homeowner at Oregon’s luxurious Elk Meadow really has thought of everything! ElkMeadow.INFO

Behind me is a great sink area and a separate commode area too. This room with its exterior door would be an excellent place to pre-clean the kids after playing on the 100+ acres or in Eagle Creek. This gives the term “mud room” a fresh meaning!

A Stunning Angel Greets Visitors During The Holiday Season

belladaze — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:11:52 +0000

Don’t be afraid to ask the homeowner if you can move a few things around.

When I arrived to photograph this Oregon home’s portrait, a beautiful angel vigilantly stood near the main fireplace. The living room is very lovely, as is the entire home, yet it was easy to overlook this huge angel because of all the other gorgeous furnishings. I wanted to give this angel a voice and her own audience while continuing to showcase the home itself. I chose the spiral foyer and dramatic massive doors to accent this life-size angel. Both the homeowner and I were very pleased with the results.

A Favorite Living Room Shoot & It Is Sold

belladaze — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:50:44 +0000

This home was lots of fun to photograph. It was such a wonderful surprise to walk in and only need to move 2 or 3 small framed photos from the mantle.

Part of the reason I call this FUN, is because I truly love rural Oregon properties that are located close in with lovely fields and Nature filling my view finder. But this home was just as stunning once you moved inside. More often than not my Realtors and I need to quickly and politely mini-stage a homes interior before I can get down to work. It seems many homeowners still can not grasp how to de-clutter or best arrange their possessions for selling their homes. I know my Realtors speak at length to Sellers about how to stage for photos and showings. Some of them utilize the handouts I have prepared, but others have resigned themselves to rolling up their sleeves and getting after it themselves. In fact, all of the top Realtors I shoot for move hoses, grab a rake and tidy the yards, even as much as shifting clunky recliners out of the viewfinder!

Here I was asked to find a way to convey the beautiful pocket doors and still feature the room and ambiance. In the dark left back corner I used an up light on the floor to draw your eye back to the fireplace and help balance the hot window light. Two small lit tea lights on the coffee table also help keep your eyes from wandering off to the edges.

Below is the more traditional real estate shot. Which one do you think best tells this rooms story?

And here’s an outdoor view too:

Congratulations on selling this luxury rural Oregon estate Deena – Deena Kraft, Broker, Windermere.
