Boat-Access Lakefront Cabin on 1.11 Acres at North Tenmile Lake

True lakefront in the Pacific Northwest rarely comes in under $500,000. This one is listed at $119,000 — and the reason the price is where it is turns out to be exactly the reason the right buyer will want it. The cabin at 909 N Tenmile Lake sits on 1.11 acres of genuine lakefront on North Tenmile Lake in Lakeside, Oregon, and the only way in is by boat.

Arrive by water, tie up at the private dock, and walk the ramp straight up to the cabin. The structure sits elevated on pilings above a sheltered cove — lily pads in the foreground, dense Oregon fir on the hillside behind, and open lake views from the dock where a bench already faces the water. That dock is the front door here, and it works. A three-level, 929-square-foot cabin with water, septic, and electric already confirmed on the property. The previous owner completed most of the gutting and made some improvements — the new buyer brings the finish work across the line. A detached outbuilding handles gear, tools, and storage. Sunlake Marina sits nearby for boat service and supply runs.

For a remote worker or anyone who actually wants to unplug from the road, the boat-only access isn't a compromise — it's the whole point. One infrastructure note worth budgeting for: internet connectivity here means Starlink or equivalent satellite service. That's a real line item, but it's also the only missing utility. Water, power, and septic are already in place. In terms of what makes a remote setup genuinely workable, this property has cleared the hard part.

At $119,000 for true Pacific Northwest waterfront with a private dock and a cove to yourself, comparable listings don't exist at this price. Catherine Reiss with Pacific Properties has the listing.
