Designed during an era of free-spirited thinking, an unconventional beach house on the Pacific Coast is ready for a new owner.<\/p>\n

Known as the Hippie House,<\/a> this angular abode in\u00a0Gleneden Beach, OR<\/a>, is available for $799,000.<\/p>\n

The home\u2019s severe shape makes it a real standout on this skinny stretch of shoreline, about 90 miles west of Portland, OR<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is very unusual with slanted walls\u2014and kind of the nonconforming way it was designed,\u201d explains listing agent Karla Kuhlenbeck<\/strong>, with Windermere, Distinctive Coastal Properties. \u201cIt\u2019s the ultimate treehouse fort. It\u2019s not practical, but it\u2019s everybody\u2019s dream to go in there and see that house.\u201d<\/p>\n

Built in 1970, the 1,440-square-foot wooden house has two small bedrooms and two bathrooms. And suffice it to say, the home wasn\u2019t designed for aging in place.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are little ladders, and the doors are custom made,\u201d Kuhlenbeck says. \u201cThe bathroom is hilarious with funny little sinks going sideways. You kind of have to crawl up a ladder to get to the shower. I call it a piece of art on the sand.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was once featured in a 1979 issue of National Geographic and retains many of its original features\u2014woodwork, floors, and some appliances, including a bespoke gas stove in the main living area.<\/p>\n

The original owner\u2019s estate is ready to part with the home. Kuhlenbeck says the dwelling\u2019s architect saw the listing and called her to explain how the place got its nickname.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said he met the owners and got together and did this freeform design on the sand, and they were all wearing tie-dyed shirts and ponytails,\u201d she recounts. \u201cIt was nonconforming and, back in the 1970s, people were young at heart and free-spirited.\u201d<\/p>\n

The home is in the Salishan area, known for coastal homes along an eight-mile beach.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody knows the house,\u201d Kuhlenbeck says. \u201cThere are probably six or seven very unique homes [here] that people can identify with. Probably the average home out there is between 2,200 and 3,200 square feet, and this one is smaller. It\u2019s the perfect getaway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Short-term vacation rentals<\/a> are not allowed in the area, so the buyer will probably use the property as a second home and will likely keep its charming quirks intact, Kuhlenbeck predicts.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my opinion, I believe anybody can go in certainly change it, but you would have to change it so much, what\u2019s the point of buying it?\u201d she wonders.<\/p>\n
