About this property
This +/- 118 acre property located less than 20 minutes north of Bend, Oregon straddles the rugged Deschutes River canyon for over a half mile. The house is perched on the edge of the river canyon in a prime location to capture river, forest, and unobstructed canyon and cascade mountain views from Mt Bachelor to Mt Jefferson. Built in 1973, the house serves as a place holder for this spectacular homesite as current restrictions would not allow construction perched on the rim today. The song of small rapids below adds to the ambiance. On the north end of the property the sheer canyon walls open, providing access to the river for swimming, fishing, floating or just chilling by the water. Ownership of both sides of the canyon protects the breathtaking view from external encroachment. Redmond Airport is only 18 minutes away. The property may qualify for a land partition and CUP(s) for additional dwellings. Buyer to do all due diligence with Deschutes County and other land use of funds required prior to any showing of the property. Please use OREF forms. Property has hazardous cliff areas please use extreme caution.

Questions to ask before you buy
Good questions for any home near the slopes.
- How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
- Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
- Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
- Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
- What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
- For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
