5 Northwest Retreats from Bend Acreage to Columbia Gorge Recreation

From its elevated setting north of Tumalo Road in Bend, this updated home unfolds across 2.57 acres with a sense of privacy that still keeps Bend and Redmond within easy reach. A main-floor primary suite anchors daily living, offering a walk-in closet, a spacious bath with tile floors and a tiled shower, and views that set the tone from morning onward. Upstairs, both bedrooms continue the mountain outlook, while the back deck becomes a natural place to take in the same wide-open backdrop. In the kitchen, updated solid-surface countertops bring a clean, refreshed feel. Practicality is equally considered: a 720-square-foot garage includes an RV plug, and gated parking behind the fence leaves plenty of room for gear. Set in the sought-after Tumalo neighborhood, it’s a peaceful, low-maintenance home base for Central Oregon days and luminous sunsets.

Surrounded by a sweeping mix of timber, gullies, ridges, and open areas, this expansive recreational holding spans three separate parcels on Satus Pass. Old logging roads lace the land, leading to view sites with broad outlooks toward Bickleton Ridge, the Columbia Hills, and the Simcoe Mountains. Bordered by Highway 97 and Jenkins Creek Road, the setting balances strong usability with a sense of privacy, while keeping you well positioned between the Tri-Cities and Portland/Vancouver, and just over an hour from Yakima. Days here can be shaped by horseback riding, ATV/UTV adventures, hiking, mountain biking, hunting, or camping, with deer, elk, and turkey moving through at different times of year. With no CCRs or HOA, General Rural zoning, and timber tax classification, the land invites a thoughtful, self-directed approach to the outdoors.

On a quiet street in Southwest Portland, this beautifully updated mid-century home feels quietly removed, wrapped by towering evergreens and linked to miles of parks and trails. Inside, flexible living spaces support everything from lively gatherings to focused work-from-home days, anchored by two fireplaces and an entertainer’s kitchen. Spacious bedrooms and an adaptable layout make room for guests, hobbies, and the rhythms of a growing household without feeling over-programmed. Recent improvements are both practical and polished: a brand new furnace, new roof, new engineered hardwood floors, new PEX plumbing throughout, and fresh interior paint. A rebuilt wood-burning chimney adds comfort and character, while new front doors and a new cedar backyard fence refine the home’s arrival and outdoor edge. Downtown Portland, OHSU, and Multnomah Village remain close, yet daily life here stays decidedly calm.

On a neighborhood street in Beaverton, this meticulously maintained, barely lived-in residence pairs high-end upgrades with designer finishes and thoughtful custom enhancements throughout. The energy-efficient floor plan includes four bedrooms plus a loft, while the main living areas center on a dramatic floor-to-ceiling black porcelain tile fireplace. In the kitchen, a show-stopping oversized island anchors daily life, from casual meals to larger gatherings. Indoor-outdoor living takes a polished turn on the covered deck, where remote-controlled shades, low-maintenance Trex decking, a second gas fireplace, and a weather-rated TV create a true year-round setting for entertaining. Sunset views and an ever-changing backdrop add atmosphere from the deck and main living spaces. A rare 2.5-car garage with epoxy floors, bright lighting, painted walls, and abundant storage supports hobbies, tools, and outdoor gear—ready for the rhythms of everyday life.

Tucked into the valley in Eagle Point, 2444 Gardner Rd offers a rare sense of quiet, with sweeping valley views and ranch land all around.
