5 Most Glamorous Pools for Sale in Portland that come with Homes

It’s that time of year in Portland – the rains have (mostly) lifted, temperatures are warming up, and sunny days are on the horizon. If you aren’t convinced that summer’s on its way, you will be by the time we hit our first 90 degree days – and they’re coming! What better time, then, to indulge in dreams of soaking up the sun by the pool?

Perhaps because of the rainy season, you’re more likely to find hot tubs in single family homes than pools. For one thing, yes, pools do require a good deal of maintenance. But if you don’t mind the little extra work (or paying for it), having a private pool has to make the list of top luxury indulgences. Accordingly, when you do find a single family home with a pool, it’s usually on a fabulous luxury property. So in the spirit of hot days to come, let’s take a look at the five amazing luxury homes for sale in Portland right now with the most glamorous pools. By the time we finish, you’ll be reaching for your sunglasses and bathing suit, ready to splash in!

#1 – 2700 NW Monte Vista Ter.

2700 NW MONTE VISTA TER

Let’s get started in covetable Kings Heights. And here you’re sure to live like a king, and with the views to prove it. The design and placement of this home ensure views from nearly every room. Whether you want to gaze on the river and its bridges or the mountains, you won’t be disappointed here, since the huge and plentiful windows keep on giving. Or, take in the sights from the huge, multi-level terraces.

Despite this home’s grandeur, it also seemingly grows organically from the hillside. Thank clever and complex landscaping in part for this, and that includes around the pristine pool. The pool here hugs the hill behind it, and an elegant stone retaining wall gives a layered and intentional feel to the hardscaping.

#2 – 4455 SW Greenhills Way

#2 - 4455 SW Greenhills Way

Next up, let’s take a trip a little further out to Southwest Portland to this stunning Mid-Century oasis. Sleek, clean lines are the name of the game here. True to the period details abound, and gorgeous woodwork keeps the interior feeling cozy and inviting.

The pool is equally stunning, set on a huge patio with plenty of room for al fresco dining while viewing the Southwest hills. Surrounded by lush greenery and a mature privacy hedge, you’re sure to feel you’ve found your own sanctuary. Not done relaxing after your time in the pool? Not to worry, since this home also comes equipped with a private sauna. Imagine yourself unwinding after a long week with a good swim followed by a cleansing sauna session. Sounds pretty nice, doesn’t it?

#3 – 5390 NW Roanoke Ln.

5390 NW ROANOKE LN

This next home is a darling of the design community, and has even been featured in magazines. This one really has all the bells and whistles. Inside you’ll find everything from an infrared to a home gym complete with basketball court. Towering ceilings and tall windows lend an airy, majestic feel to the ambience. This is definitely a home with a point of view

Outside, a meticulously maintained yard makes the perfect home for a beautiful rectangular pool. And that’s not all. Attached to the pool is a smaller spa tub. You can get your exercise on one side and then soak your tired muscles on the other!

#4 – 1600 S Greenwood Rd.

1600 S GREENWOOD RD

Back to Southwest again, and this time for a bona fide mansion in Dunthorpe! But it’s even more than that. This home is historic, built in 1916 in the Colonial Revival style by Elliott Corbett. Corbett was a banker, business leader, and builder of some of Portland’s most iconic buildings. This could mean your chance at owning a home on the National Register of Historic Places.

Just because it’s historic, though, doesn’t mean you won’t be enjoying modern amenities such as a truly spectacular chef’s kitchen. And of course, the pool. Pale blue in color, it’s buttressed by a tiled wall with a waterfall feature. Take a stroll through the immaculate English-style garden before taking a dip!

#5 – 13000 NW Old Germantown Rd.

13000 NW OLD GERMANTOWN RD

And for the big finish, let’s take a peek at this veritable compound just outside of Forest Park. Set on 79 acres of Pacific Northwest flora and fauna, this home is really a work of art. The architect, Pietro Belluschi, holds a place as one of the leaders of the Modernist movement in architecture, and it shows here. Look out on the hills from floor to ceiling windows that abound.

What about outside, though? The views continue from the elegant pool, which is wide open and ready for you to soak up the sights. An adjacent greenhouse and plenty of outdoor space make this a great home for anyone with a green thumb as well.
