Inside Three Exceptional $1M+ Oregon Coast Properties
On the Oregon Coast luxury isn't necessarily about a grand entrance or having a lot of rooms. Here, luxury can mean waking up to the Pacific Ocean outside your windows. It can mean four acres of privacy stretching toward the ocean, a private path through the dunes, or a beautifully maintained home where the backyard opens onto a protected butterfly habitat.
For buyers exploring luxury homes for sale on the Oregon Coast, the $1 million-plus market offers something particularly compelling: properties where the setting is as important as the structure itself.
Currently, three Saltaire Coastal Homes listings illustrate three very different expressions of high-end coastal living. Continue reading this blog to learn more about them

Learn more about The Reunion House
The Reunion House is part of Seaside's history.
Located at 1021 S Prom on Seaside's Historic Promenade, this remarkable Arts and Crafts residence was designed in 1926 by Portland architect O. M. Akers for Thomas Autzen, the pioneering industrialist whose name is familiar to generations of Oregonians through Autzen Stadium.
The home extends across two lots from the Promenade to Beach Street, creating a rare combination of scale, history, and proximity to the Pacific.
The Reunion House was designed with large gatherings in mind, and its generous proportions still reflect that original purpose.
Inside, the craftsmanship is difficult to replicate today. Hand-hewn beams, wrought-iron spade hinges, original built-ins, a cobblestone fireplace, antique light fixtures, pocket doors, and carefully preserved architectural details give the house a sense of permanence. The formal dining room looks toward the ocean, while the kitchen retains its original cabinetry, arched doorways, breakfast nook, and built-in storage.
Upstairs, the primary suite captures views of the Pacific and Tillamook Head. And then there is the third level, a vaulted family room with a gas fireplace and sweeping coastal views, along with an additional bedroom.
Outside, additional places to gather include a concrete pebble-stone patio, detached game pavilion, sauna, outdoor shower, gazebo, and hot tub. The property is offered turnkey furnished and has been managed as a vacation property, adding another dimension for buyers interested in a coastal retreat with established use.

Learn more about 89026 Ocean Drive
89026 Ocean Drive represents modern conveniences, privacy, acreage, and true oceanfront living.
Located in the gated Surf Pines community near Warrenton, this property encompasses more than four acres reaching toward the high-tide line. A private beach path leads through the dunes to the Pacific.
Inside, expansive windows bring the Oregon Coast directly into the living spaces. Views stretch toward the dunes, mountains, and Pacific, with Tillamook Head appearing on the horizon.
The home has been extensively remodeled and thoughtfully updated, including a new roof, windows, siding, HVAC ducting, rebuilt fireplace venting and insert, garage improvements, and updated flooring.
The kitchen features custom cabinetry and modern appliances, while the primary bathroom feels like a private coastal spa with heated floors and a stone soaking tub.
Perhaps the most memorable space is upstairs. A crow's-nest loft creates a private perch above the coastline, a place to watch winter storms roll across the Pacific or enjoy the changing light of an Oregon Coast sunset.

View 5295 Drummond Drive listing
Luxury on the Oregon Coast doesn't always mean oceanfront. Sometimes, it means waking up somewhere quiet, surrounded by nature, with the beach a short drive or bike ride away.
At 5295 Drummond Drive, that feeling is found in Gearhart's coveted Reserve neighborhood.
The beautifully maintained home sits beside a protected butterfly habitat, creating an unusually peaceful backdrop of native landscape and wildlife.
Inside, expansive windows bring the outdoors in. A dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the main living space, while the large kitchen and breakfast nook create a natural gathering point for everyday life.
The main-level primary suite overlooks the backyard and includes an updated bathroom with a walk-in tile shower and soaking tub. A finished bonus room above the garage adds flexibility for guests, an office, studio, or hobbies.
Outside, you have a covered patio, fire pit area, and mature landscaping that create an outdoor living environment designed for lingering.
