Just Listed: A Hillside Sanctuary in Southwest Portland

There’s something distinct about Southwest Portland.

The streets wind instead of grid. The homes settle into hillsides instead of lining sidewalks. Trees don’t decorate the landscape, they define it.

At 10151 SW Lancaster Rd, that Southwest Portland character is fully expressed. Perched above the trees on more than half an acre in Marshall Park, this custom-built residence offers nearly 4,000 square feet of living space wrapped in privacy, filtered light, and territorial views.

You feel the elevation immediately. The quiet. The separation from the pace of the city. And yet, you are minutes from Lake Oswego, OHSU, downtown Portland, and some of the area’s most loved trail systems.

This is the rare balance that makes SW Portland so enduringly desirable.

Why Southwest Portland Continues to Draw Discerning Buyers

Unlike Portland’s denser eastside neighborhoods, Southwest Portland is known for:

• Larger parcels and wooded surroundings

• Architectural individuality

• Proximity to Lake Oswego and Highway 43

• Easy access to OHSU and downtown employment hubs

• Gabriel Park, Marshall Park, and Tryon Creek trail access

Homes here often feel like private retreats without sacrificing convenience. That combination is increasingly difficult to find.

Elevated Living with Room to Flex

Natural light pours through expansive windows, drawing the outdoors in and framing eastern views that shift beautifully throughout the day. From sunrise filtering across the treetops to the quiet glow of evening settling into the hills, the home feels connected to its setting at every turn.

The main level was designed with both refinement and function in mind. An executive office with fireplace creates a warm, private workspace with panoramic outlooks, an inspiring backdrop for remote work or creative pursuits. Just beyond, the spacious primary suite captures similar views and offers a spa-inspired bath and generous walk-in closet, creating a calm retreat at the end of the day.

Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the level, allowing for comfortable separation while keeping daily living cohesive and convenient.

The open-concept living and dining areas anchor the home. Thoughtfully scaled for entertaining yet intimate enough for everyday life, these spaces flow effortlessly to the expansive front deck. Here, mornings begin above the canopy with coffee in hand, and evenings unfold against a backdrop of layered hills and filtered light.

Downstairs, flexibility becomes the defining feature. A fourth bedroom or second office provides options for guests, extended living, or additional work-from-home space. Full and half baths enhance functionality, while the richly detailed bonus room with wood paneling, custom tile flooring, and a second fireplace offers a setting equally suited for media, recreation, hobbies, or gathering.

This is not a layout confined to one lifestyle. It adapts. It expands. It evolves with its owners.

And then, just when you think you’ve seen it all, a discreet bookshelf reveals a concealed French-inspired wine cellar and tasting room. A moment of surprise. A conversation piece. A detail that transforms a beautiful home into something truly memorable.

Thoughtful Improvements, Already Addressed

Between 2024 and 2026, extensive system and exterior improvements were completed, including full sewer line replacement, chimney rebuild, roof repairs and cleaning, installation of a new AC compressor, exterior repainting, and patio resurfacing.

These are not surface updates. They represent meaningful investment and proactive care, offering long-term confidence for the next owner.

A Setting That Feels Removed, Yet Connected

The backyard offers a paved patio, hot tub, fountain pond, play space, and storage shed. Evenings here are quiet. Mornings begin with filtered light through mature trees.

And yet within minutes you can be dining in Lake Oswego, commuting to OHSU, or accessing downtown Portland.

That duality is what defines this property. Seclusion without isolation. Space without sacrificing access.
