The homes are built to a model home standard

Hunter Ridge Estates was developed on Prune Hill along NW Valley Street — a gated enclave that sits alongside Columbia Summit Estates, Grand Ridge, Crown Pointe, and Sun Dance as one of the hill's most respected addresses. Homes here range from 2,876 to 5,786 square feet with an overall RMLS average of 3,982 square feet — a figure that puts the typical Hunter Ridge Estates home well above the Camas luxury market's general average and reflects the caliber of construction throughout the community.

The former model home at 1619 NW Valley Street — a 4,017 square foot five-bedroom, four-bath — is the reference point that defines what Hunter Ridge Estates delivers and what the market will pay for it. It closed at $1,310,000 in July 2023. Inside: 10-foot ceilings throughout the main floor, 8-foot solid doors, distressed hardwood and tumbled travertine floors, a welcoming entry that opens to a glass-door office and wainscoting-paneled formal dining room, both with large bay windows that draw in natural light and territorial views. A great room with gas fireplace and custom built-ins. A gourmet kitchen anchored by an 8-foot granite slab island with Jenn-Air stainless appliances, a 4-burner gas range with griddle, and a bright eating nook opening to the deck and backyard. Upstairs, a primary suite with a see-through gas fireplace shared with the primary bath — the kind of detail that separates a truly custom home from a production luxury build.

Stone, brick, and fiber cement exteriors carry the quality through to the street presentation. Sprinkler systems, covered patios, and decks are standard throughout the community.

Gated means something here

Hunter Ridge Estates is a gated community — a designation that matters in two concrete ways. First, it controls access, which keeps the neighborhood genuinely private and removes the through-traffic and casual drive-by character that even well-regarded Prune Hill streets sometimes experience. Second, it signals a maintenance and standards expectation that the community has consistently upheld. When buyers in the $1 million-plus range are evaluating addresses on Prune Hill, the gated entry is not a cosmetic feature — it's a statement about how the community manages itself over time.

Views, elevation, and proximity to PDX

Territorial, wooded, and mountain views are the consistent descriptors across Hunter Ridge Estates listings — the natural payoff of a Prune Hill address at this elevation. The Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood are part of the scenic context of daily life here, not features you drive to on weekends.

The PDX proximity is worth noting specifically: less than 20 minutes to Portland International Airport is the confirmed distance for NW Valley Street — a practical advantage for frequent travelers and business commuters that adds genuine daily value beyond the views and the finish level.

Camas schools — the constant

Hunter Ridge Estates feeds into the Camas School District — one of the top-ranked districts in Washington State, with the full pipeline through Prune Hill Elementary, Skyridge Middle School, and Camas High School. Every buyer shopping at the $1 million-plus price point in Camas has run the school research. Hunter Ridge Estates meets that expectation fully and without qualification.

Washington residency means no Oregon income tax. At the household income levels common to buyers in this price range, that annual advantage is a material financial benefit that the Camas address delivers year after year regardless of which luxury subdivision you choose.

Who Hunter Ridge Estates is for

Hunter Ridge Estates draws buyers who have decided that the Camas luxury market is where they want to land and are looking for the combination of gated privacy, superior interior finishes, significant square footage, mountain and territorial views, and PDX proximity that this community delivers as a package. It's a natural fit for buyers relocating from Seattle, the Bay Area, Southern California, and Texas who are making a deliberate quality-of-life move and want to arrive at the upper tier of the Camas market with confidence.

This is not a neighborhood where you compromise on the features that matter most in luxury real estate. It's one where those features — the gate, the ceilings, the finishes, the views, the school pipeline — are all present and accounted for.
