Iconic home from ‘The Goonies’ lists for $1.65 million in Oregon. See the coastal home
Sure, the first thing that comes to mind when fans reminisce about the settings in the 1985 adventure comedy “The Goonies” is probably One-Eyed Willy’s famous pirate ship since it was a keystone of the Steven Spielberg classic.
However, the second thing is usually the ravishing four-bedroom, two-bathroom Astoria, Oregon, house that the main characters live in — where the group known as the Goonies discover the treasure map that leads to the show-stopping end.
Now, the 1,935-square-foot residence is on the market for $1.65 million.
According to KOIN 6, real estate agent Jordan Miller has a particular buyer in mind for the home — a film buff.
“It has to be someone who appreciates this movie and the history of this movie and this beautiful town,” Miller told KOIN.
Basically someone who can never forget the scenes shot in the house, which was the home of Mikey Walsh, played by Sean Astin, and his brother Brand, played by Josh Brolin. The same home with the beautiful wrap-around porch and those striking Pacific Ocean views that cascade through the windows.
The house was recently open to foot traffic after being closed to the public since 2015 because fans kept attempting to see the privately owned house despite signs warning people to stay away. The owner reconsidered, however.
“There were so many comments and everything about it,” owner Sandi Preston told Willametee Week. “The people who come seem to be a lot better than what was here before. We were getting such a large amount of people—like, I don’t know, right around 1,500 a day. It was pretty overwhelming to the neighborhood.”
Astoria is about 95 miles northwest of Portland.
