Context

This project is located on 22 acres of private land without an HOA, near Awbrey Falls, along the Deschutes River. Heritage estates like this are rare in the Tumalo area making this project extra special for this family and generations to come. Trails for hiking and equestrian use run through the area and connect to public lands. Kayaking and river rafting are accessible directly from the property. Many acres are protected by conservation easements meaning views to the River and Mountains will be protected from development. Nearby access to the Deschutes River and 32,000 acres of public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management are to the North opening up this property to a breathtaking bucolic landscape.
