You will marvel at this Magnificent Custom Craftsman Lodge... with mountain views second to none. A custom quality residence with "in your face" mountain vistas on 2.54 acres. 2700 sqft, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bath, large bonus room, interior timber trusses, log accents and fully landscaped. You'll fall in love with the drama of its unique architecture and the spaciousness it offers. Passive solar, active solar, stained and stamped concrete finished floors with radiant infloor heat, specialty lighting, stained concrete counters, central vacuum system, integrated dog kennel with access to exterior fenced dog run, large shed built to match home, and much more. Recently, 65 Ponderosa Pines and 20 Aspen trees with electronic drip system were planted along the eastern property line and front of the property. Addtionally a 3-rail wood fence was added to the front of the property. There is an abundance of privacy, plenty of room for horses and only a walk/bike-ride/horse-ride away from BLM. You'll love it's central location between Bend and Sisters, yet still being located in the coveted Sisters School District. We can send many more pictures or please call for a viewing. 541-350-2779 Neighborhood Description The properties are laid out in 5 acre and 2.5 acre parcels, so you don't have someone ever "right next to you". Our back door neighbors (where are views are) are about 500-600 feet away from us. Our neighbors to our West (about 300 feet away or more in a diagonal position from our home) have a "park like setting" in the back yard with a water feature and their property is beautiful and well manicured. At the front of our property (which is about 350 feet from our front door), across the road is a vacant lot. To the east of us our neighbors home is about 500 feet away from us diagonally (they sit at the front of their property, whereas we sit more at the back.) Just recently, they placed a temporary home at the front of their property for his father's medical hardship. The temporary home and their yellow pole barn are truly our least favorite things about their property, but fortunately, that is a part of our property where the focus is the least. Our home was designed to face and function towards the views - and that is the most amazing reward! To help with our landscaping and to further improve the privacy, we underwent quite the Summer Project of planting 65 ponderosa pines and 20 aspen's along the property line. In the spring the foliage of the aspen and the continual growth of the ponderosa's will create that desired barrier. We have the newly planted trees all on an electric drip system that runs with the rest of our landscaping water system. Ultimately, the neighborhood is quiet, kind, everyone enjoys the early morning walks to the nearby BLM trails, the "in your face" views, and the wildlife. You will love the central location of this property (10 minutes from Sisters, 15 minutes from Bend and 20 minutes from Redmond). Of course, the breath-taking views of 9 Cascade Mountains are enjoyed with a walk, bike ride, jog, or even horseback ride to the local BLM trails.
