West Linn is located in Clackamas County and it’s where I was born and raised. I grew up on an old farmhouse, and there is still a barn on the property. West Linn still has a few more old farmhouses and two beautiful wineries. There are some lovely old homes in this rustic area, and if you’ve never been in the area, I recommend you come and take a look.
Holloran Winery and Oswego Hills Vineyard are popular spots for locals. McMenamins is where I’m shooting this video, and this restaurant was the first brew house in West Linn. Their Sunflower IPA is their signature beer, and this is because their beer garden is lined with sunflowers.
If you come here, you need to see the Williamette Falls. There is an intricate lock system built by the pioneers that settled here, and these falls are the 17th widest in the United States!
West Linn was established back in 1913, and in 2011 CNN and Money Magazine ranked West Linn as the 69th best place to live in America. We were also voted as the top place to live in Oregon!
We are also named ‘Tree City USA’ by the Arbor Day foundation for our commitment to urban forestry. Developers like to come to West Linn and renovate old homes into new and beautiful ones. We are actually doing this right now and will be selling 3,000 sq. ft. homes for about $575,000.

SUMMARY
=======
Oregon ( (listen) OR-i-gən) is a state in the Pacific Northwest region on the West Coast of the United States. The Columbia River delineates much of Oregon's northern boundary along Washington state, while the Snake River delineates much of its eastern boundary along Idaho. The parallel 42° north delineates the southern boundary with California and Nevada. Oregon is one of only three states of the contiguous United States to have a coastline on the Pacific Ocean.
Oregon was inhabited by many indigenous tribes before Western traders, explorers, and settlers arrived. An autonomous government was formed in the Oregon Country in 1843 before the Oregon Territory was created in 1848. Oregon became the 33rd state on February 14, 1859. Today, at 98,000 square miles (250,000 km2), Oregon is the ninth largest and, with a population of 4 million, 27th most populous U.S. state. The capital, Salem, is the second most populous city in Oregon, with 164,549 residents. Portland, with 632,309 residents, is the most populous and ranks as the 26th most populous city in the United States. The Portland metropolitan area, which also includes the city of Vancouver, Washington, to the north, ranks the 23rd largest metro area in the nation, with a population of 2,389,228.
Oregon is one of the most geographically diverse states in the U.S., marked by volcanoes, abundant bodies of water, dense evergreen and mixed forests, as well as high deserts and semi-arid shrublands. At 11,249 feet (3,429 m), Mount Hood, a stratovolcano, is the state's highest point. Oregon's only national park, Crater Lake National Park, comprises the caldera surrounding Crater Lake, the deepest lake in the United States. The state is also home to the single largest organism in the world, Armillaria ostoyae, a fungus that runs beneath 2,200 acres (8.9 km2) of the Malheur National Forest.Because of its diverse landscapes and waterways, Oregon's economy is largely powered by various forms of agriculture, fishing, and hydroelectric power. Oregon is also the top timber producer of the contiguous United States, and the timber industry dominated the state's economy in the 20th century. Technology is another one of Oregon's major economic forces, beginning in the 1970s with the establishment of the Silicon Forest and the expansion of Tektronix and Intel. Sportswear company Nike, Inc., headquartered in Beaverton, is the state's largest public corporation with an annual revenue of $30.6 billion.Like its northern neighbor Washington, Oregon is one of the most socially progressive states in the country. Same-sex marriage in Oregon was recognized in 2013 before its full legalization in 2015, cannabis is legal for recreational and medicinal use in the state, and assisted suicide is also permitted by law in Oregon.

SUMMARY
=======
Portland is the largest city in the U.S. state of Oregon and the seat of Multnomah County. It is a major port in the Willamette Valley region of the Pacific Northwest, at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers. As of 2017, Portland had an estimated population of 647,805, making it the 26th-largest city in the United States, and the second-most populous in the Pacific Northwest (after Seattle). Approximately 2.4 million people live in the Portland metropolitan statistical area (MSA), making it the 25th most populous MSA in the United States. Its Combined Statistical Area (CSA) ranks 18th-largest with a population of around 3.2 million. Approximately 60% of Oregon's population resides within the Portland metropolitan area.Named after Portland, Maine, the Oregon settlement began to be populated in the 1830s near the end of the Oregon Trail. Its water access provided convenient transportation of goods, and the timber industry was a major force in the city's early economy. At the turn of the 20th century, the city had a reputation as one of the most dangerous port cities in the world, a hub for organized crime and racketeering. After the city's economy experienced an industrial boom during World War II, its hard-edged reputation began to dissipate. Beginning in the 1960s, Portland became noted for its growing progressive political values, earning it a reputation as a bastion of counterculture.The city operates with a commission-based government guided by a mayor and four commissioners as well as Metro, the only directly elected metropolitan planning organization in the United States. The city government is notable for its land-use planning and investment in public transportation. Portland is frequently recognized as one of the world's most environmentally conscious cities because of its high walkability, large community of bicyclists, farm-to-table dining, expansive network of public transportation options, and over 10,000 acres (4,000 hectares) of public parks. Its climate is marked by warm, dry summers and cool, rainy winters. This climate is ideal for growing roses, and Portland has been called the City of Roses for over a century.

Viola Farm a 42 Acre Equestrian Estate in Canby Oregon
Viola Farm is a unique professional 42-acre Equestrian Estate. $2.1M. 23 miles south of Portland in the heart of the Equestrian district – 15 minutes to Wilsonville and Oregon City. The gatehouse entrance leads down a fence lined half mile private drive to the secluded main and guest house surrounded by 3 acres of exquisite mature trees and gardens.
THE MAIN HOUSE COMPOUND
You enter this country cottage style home under a lovely iron rose archway and are struck by the rustic cedar roof and old wisteria vines that adorn the wrap around porch. This spacious home has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 2 fireplaces, an entertainer’s kitchen, oversized living room with wood cove ceiling & built-in sound system, a den with custom cherry bookcases and formal dining room with gorgeous views to the pastures below.
The wrap around sandstone porch and patio also has stunning views of the property with built in Barbeque. Enjoy playing tennis on the full-sized court then go for a swim in the heated pool, lunch in the screened gazebo porch, or relax in the pool house sauna.
Set behind the pool area is a charming 2 bedroom guesthouse with wood stove, wood paneling and an attached 2 car garage with storage room and wine cellar. French doors lead to a private landscaped backyard with covered trellis and garden area with iron rose covered archways.
The 3 acres of mature, professionally designed landscaping is a gardener’s delight, including a koi pond with waterfall, outdoor iron gazebo, greenhouse, split rail fencing, fruit trees, walking paths and more; all of which is multi-zone irrigated.
The beautifully finished four car garage has a 1,254 SF unfinished studio/workroom above and a deck off the back.
THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER
Down the hill and separate from the residence lies a fully equipped equestrian center.
You pass horses grazing on a hillside pasture and a lovely pond with aerating fountain – on the left are 4 large turnout paddocks – all paddocks and pastures are natural fencings.
The centerpiece of the equestrian center is the ½ acre covered arena and barn building. Newly constructed in 2016, this batenboard pole building features 12 stalls, hot water wash rack, feed room, grooming area, tack room and shop. The 12-12x14 “Noble” stalls are tongue and groove and fully matted with sliding windows and drop down grilled stall fronts.
The 80x216 riding area has Equiloft footing with auto sprinklers, skylights, LED lighting and two viewing decks. 20’ to the beams allows for a feeling of great expanse compounded by a view to unspoiled fields and forests.
Across the center drive and alongside beautiful winding Bear Creek, you will find the mare barn. This classic barn includes 6 large 15’x15’ matted stalls, a feed room, tack room, grooming, and hot water wash rack room and 20-ton hay storage above. There are also 6 separate all-weather run-ins behind each stall. Additionally, there are 3 all-weather turn outs paddocks (24x36 approx), 3 grass pastures (2.5acres, 1 acre & ¾ acre) and many acres of wooded riding trails.
Across the largest pasture sits the “miners cabin”. It is rustic and very charming with an elevated covered porch, fire pit, wood stove, bedroom and living area with loft. It is off the grid – but a propane stove and outdoor hot shower make it comfortable glamping. This cabin was featured in “Portlandia” and vacationers from Airbnb seem to love it, giving it consistent 5* ratings!
This property literally has it all. If you are looking for an elegant country lifestyle, extraordinary horse facility all in a private natural setting, yet close to the big city, Viola Farm awaits you!
Note: furniture, fixtures, and farm equipment negotiable.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
