Building a Legacy: A Family’s Story Behind the Estate on Monnier Road, Hubbard, Oregon

If you’ve ever dreamed of building a home from the ground up—one designed with intention, built with love, and filled with family memories—then the estate on Monnier Road in Hubbard, Oregon will speak to your heart.

This isn’t just a house. It’s a legacy.

A Dream Born in the Oregon Countryside

In the late 1990s, Rob and Jen Miller set out to find a property just outside town—something with open space, natural beauty, and room to grow. The goal? Build a forever home where they could raise their children, host friends, and create a life filled with connection and meaning.

“We wanted a view of Mount Hood, a creek, pasture, woods, and space for a shop and home. It had to feel peaceful, private, and close to nature.”

That vision led them to Monnier Road—a parcel with a rustic 400-square-foot fixer-upper and everything else they’d been searching for. With one child and another on the way, they moved in, remodeled the tiny home, and began building their dream from the ground up—literally.

From 400 to 5,000 Square Feet: A Home Built by Hand

The Millers broke ground in 2000—just three days after welcoming their second child. Every step of the build was a labor of love. From laying the foundation to hand-driving every nail, they poured their hearts and skills into crafting a 5,000+ square foot estate that blends durability with natural beauty.

“We used old-growth wood, sourced local lumber, and focused on high-quality materials throughout. If we had to wait to afford the best—we waited.”

Every material was chosen with longevity in mind. From the slate floors to the tile roof, this home was built to last for generations.

A Place to Grow, Celebrate, and Connect

Beyond the craftsmanship, what makes this estate truly special are the memories created here.

Children chose their bedrooms from the blueprints. They played outside, built forts in the woods, swung on rope swings, and roamed freely across acres of safe, secluded land. As they grew, the property saw FFA projects, celebrations, proms, engagements, and even the announcement of a grandchild—all shared at the beloved family fireplace.

“All the big news happened at the fireplace—scholarships, dates, jobs, baby announcements. It was our family’s storytelling center.”
