The homes are custom in the actual sense of the word

Country View Estates was built out between 1989 and 1991 — an era of homebuilding in Camas that prioritized lot size, custom design, and quality construction over density. Homes here sit on full one-acre parcels, which in the current Camas market is a legitimate rarity. You're not sharing a fence line with a home twenty feet away. You have room — for RV or boat parking, for a three-car garage, for the kind of outdoor space that makes a property feel like a property rather than just a house on a lot.

Square footage runs from around 3,200 on the smaller end up to over 4,600 square feet on the larger custom builds — daylight ranch and custom two-story styles that were designed with intention and built to last. Inside you'll find hardwood floors, granite kitchens with cook islands, built-in vacuums, jetted tubs, ceiling fans, owned security systems, three and four full bathrooms, and the kind of formal and informal living room separation that modern open-concept construction has mostly abandoned. Several homes have bonus rooms plumbed for wet bars and lower-level configurations that work as in-law suites or separate living quarters.

These homes were built for buyers who wanted more than the standard offer, and that character hasn't faded.

The views are the defining feature

Territorial and valley views, Portland city lights, and coastal mountain vistas from the NE Country View Circle corridor — this is what happens when you put custom homes on one-acre lots at the right elevation in the northeast corner of Camas. The sightlines here aren't incidental. They were part of why these lots were chosen in the first place, and they remain one of the most compelling reasons buyers gravitate toward this community when it comes up.

Schools and location

Country View Estates feeds into Lacamas Lake Elementary — one of the well-regarded elementary schools in the Camas School District, rated A-minus by independent school review platforms. The full Camas School District pipeline runs from there through middle and high school, with Camas High School serving as the district's flagship and one of the primary drivers of sustained relocation demand into the 98607 zip code. That school story holds for Country View Estates exactly as it does for every other address in this zip code, and it protects resale value across market cycles.

The NE Country Drive corridor puts you on the eastern side of Camas, with easy access to Lacamas Lake and the trail network at Lacamas Park — one of the genuine outdoor assets of this area and one that a one-acre property in this community positions you to use regularly. Downtown Camas is a short drive to the west. Portland is 25 to 30 minutes via SR-14. And Washington residency means no Oregon income tax — at the household income levels common to buyers in this price range, that annual differential is worth running the math on before you decide where to live.

Current value picture

Country View Estates homes have traded in the $630K to $730K range on recent closed sales, with current estimated values across the community running well into the $900s to over $1.2 million — a reflection of how much the Camas market has appreciated since these homes last changed hands. For buyers who find a Country View Estates home that comes to market, the price-per-square-foot value on a custom one-acre property with views is almost always compelling relative to what comparable land and construction costs today.

Who this neighborhood is for

Country View Estates is a natural fit for buyers who want genuine acreage, a custom home with real square footage, and territorial views — without the gated community price premium that some of Camas's newer luxury addresses carry. It's particularly well-suited for buyers who value privacy and outdoor space over proximity to commercial amenities, and for buyers relocating from rural or semi-rural markets who want the Camas school story without feeling like they've traded land for a zip code.

One-acre lots in the 98607 zip code don't come along often. When they do, buyers who were already paying attention are the ones who close.
