Custom Home Builder in Pacific City, Oregon

Pacific City is anchored by Cape Kiwanda — one of the most dramatic headlands on the Oregon coast — and surrounded by miles of sandy beach, the Nestucca River estuary, and a community that balances year-round residential life with a thriving visitor economy. For custom home buyers, Pacific City offers coastal living with more character and less congestion than larger beach towns, plus direct access from Yamhill County wine country via the Nestucca River Road.

Building in Pacific City

Pacific City is an unincorporated community in Tillamook County, which means county-level permitting and coastal zone management regulations apply. Building sites range from oceanfront lots near Cape Kiwanda to wooded hillside parcels and riverfront properties along the Nestucca. Each site type brings distinct considerations — ocean exposure, wind loads, and salt corrosion for beachfront; slope stability and tree management for hillside; flood zone and wetland review for riverfront. Our team evaluates these factors before design begins.

Pacific City clients want homes that celebrate the coast: expansive glazing toward the ocean or river, durable exterior materials that weather gracefully, and indoor-outdoor spaces designed for year-round use despite coastal weather. The Pelican Brewing Company, local surf culture, and proximity to Cape Kiwanda give the community an energy that's reflected in the homes people build here — relaxed but intentional, casual but well-crafted.
