Fishhawk Lake Real Estate Home Search and Community LIfestyle I am a realtor specializing in a slice of paradise called Fishhawk Lake in Birkenfeld, OR. Having lived here full time for 9+ years, and over 11 altogether, I feel well-equipped to share my enthusiasm about vacation or full time living when it comes to one of Oregon’s Best Kept Secrets!

This breathtaking lake is home to osprey (fishhawks),salmon, trout, elk, deer, cougar, eagles, otters and many other critters that abound in and around the lake. There is hiking, boating, swimming, birdwatching, even mushroom hunting! We have the 2nd tastiest water in the state and some of the freshest air you’ll ever breathe. There are approximately 180 homes and over 300 lots that are on the lake itself or surrounding it.

You can find the rustic weekend getaway or the home with five fireplaces and a theatre that holds about twenty people at a time. The variety of homes and personalities is very eclectic. Many people from all over the states have property or an interest at Fishhawk. And something’s always happening up here in our coastal range community!

My husband and I gave up the urban sprawl, sold our home in five hours in a suburb of Portland and moved out about 90 minutes from Portland, OR. and an hour from the coast into our 2nd home, at Fishhawk. It was a dream come true–literally as we had put this plan on paper a few years before.

It is truly heaven. We are a community that waves at one another even if you don’t recognize the person, watches over each other’s property and have progressive parties like Dock Crawl and Cabin Crawl two times a year, plus many social events for all family members. Check out my blog for all kinds of ideas on what to do out here, what trends there are in real estate–so much information–even where to go to find a local lender or home decor…I’ve shared it all.
