Tuck away the idea of a quaint beach cottage. Plenty of Oregon's oceanfront abodes for sale are as high-end as they are high priced. One Gold Beach waterfront log home spans 10,000 square feet and is listed at just under $10 million.

Who's buying? All age groups, adds Risley.
Cannon Beach and nearby Arch Cape account for five of the top 10 most expensive Oregon coastal properties (#11, #15, #18, #20 and #23 are also in Cannon Beach), according to Zillow.
