5 Beds | 2.5 Baths | 3,034 Sq Ft | 1.26 Acres
River, Lake & Mountain Views | Daylight Rambler

Perched above the Chelan River Gorge on 1.26 private acres, 404 S Clifford St offers a setting that feels remarkably hidden while still being just minutes from downtown Chelan. With sweeping northwest-facing views over the river gorge, lower Lake Chelan basin, surrounding mountains, and open sky, this is a property defined by perspective, privacy, and presence.

This 3,034-square-foot daylight rambler combines generous indoor living with a deeply connected outdoor experience. From terraced grounds and expansive decks to the private trail leading toward the gorge below, the property invites you to experience Chelan from an entirely different vantage point.

A Home Designed for Views, Warmth, and Everyday Living

Natural light fills the main level, where the great room, kitchen, living area, primary suite, and guest bedroom are all positioned to take in the surrounding landscape. Vaulted ceilings add volume and openness, while the home’s wood detailing brings warmth and a grounded, Northwest feel throughout.

A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space, creating a cozy focal point against the dramatic outdoor backdrop. French doors, generous windows, and multiple access points to the decks help blur the line between indoor comfort and outdoor beauty.

Crafted With Character

One of the home’s most remarkable details is its use of timber and wood milled from Moore Point—a craftsmanship feature that gives the interior a sense of authenticity and story that simply cannot be replicated. The result is a home that feels both substantial and deeply personal.

Throughout the home, thoughtful features support both comfort and function, including:

Vaulted ceilings
Walk-in pantry
Walk-in closet
Bath off the primary
Ceiling fans
Double-pane windows
High-speed internet
Sprinkler system

Flexible Space for Hosting, Guests, and Retreat

With five bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, the layout offers room to spread out without losing connection. The main floor supports easy everyday living, while the lower level expands the home’s flexibility with three additional bedrooms, a rec room with patio access, and a safe room concealed behind a secured sliding door.

Whether used for guests, recreation, hobbies, or multigenerational living, the lower level creates the kind of versatility that’s increasingly valuable in today’s market.

Outdoor Living With a Truly Rare Setting

This property extends far beyond the walls of the home. Expansive decks wrap the residence and create multiple places to take in the extraordinary scenery. Below, terraced lawn and patio areas, designated garden space, a long private driveway, and open land give the property both usability and a sense of escape.

The setting is made even more rare by its direct relationship to the surrounding land. Bordering City of Chelan and Chelan County PUD public lands, the property feels exceptionally private while also offering an owner-built trail leading directly toward the gorge and river access below.

Features That Support the Lifestyle

Beyond its views and architecture, the property also offers practical amenities that are increasingly hard to find this close to town:

Detached 1-car garage
Attached carport with breezeway access
Pole barn shop
RV parking
Irrigation water
City water and sewer
Fire-protection benefit from the 30-foot-rated irrigation system

These are the kinds of features that make the property feel not only beautiful, but highly livable.

What Makes This Property So Special

Properties with this combination of privacy, acreage, public land adjacency, river access, and panoramic views rarely come to market in Chelan. Add in the home’s custom wood character, flexible square footage, and proximity to downtown, and the result is something genuinely difficult to replace.

This is not simply a home with views. It is a property with a sense of discovery—one that unfolds slowly, rewards time spent outdoors, and offers a kind of quiet that feels increasingly rare.
