The High Desert Mediterranean

This expansive custom residence, spanning nearly 6,000 square feet, was thoughtfully designed as a forever home and a year-round gathering place for the client's entire family. Nestled on a large, heavily wooded site on Bend's west side, the home occupies a prime position at the high point of the property, perfectly oriented to capture breathtaking views of the Cascade mountains.
Every detail of this home reflects a balance of luxurious comfort and functionality. The interior is adorned with high-end furnishings, creating inviting spaces that cater to recreation and entertainment. Among the standout features are a fully equipped workout room, a recreation room, a state-of-the-art golf simulator, and an indoor sauna, offering countless opportunities for leisure and wellness. A stunning sky bridge connects the upstairs areas, providing a striking architectural feature while overlooking the open living spaces below. Multiple covered patios and balconies further enhance the home’s charm, offering cozy outdoor gathering spots to enjoy in every season.
The architectural design is a seamless blend of high desert aesthetics and Mediterranean influences. Crisp, dark-mulled windows contrast beautifully with the light stucco exterior, evoking a sophisticated yet welcoming ambiance. Soft arches and fine-line hemlock accents add warmth and elegance, while sections of dry-stacked stone provide a robust, textured detail that integrates harmoniously with the surrounding natural environment.
The outdoor spaces are equally impressive, designed to accommodate both intimate family moments and large-scale entertaining. A covered patio houses a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, complete with heaters for crisp fall evenings and large, elegant fans to keep guests cool during the summer months. The centerpiece of the outdoor area is an in-ground pool and hot tub, strategically positioned to lead to a fire pit carved into the hillside—a serene spot for stargazing or enjoying conversations by the fire.
This home is a testament to thoughtful design, where every detail has been considered to create a harmonious balance between luxury, comfort, and connection with the natural surroundings. It serves as both a sanctuary and a vibrant hub, offering the perfect setting for creating cherished memories with loved ones for years to come.
