Description
Stunning High Desert Home and Land: Perched on a high point overlooking the breathtaking Harney Basin, this extraordinary 160± acre retreat offers a rare combination of privacy, craftsmanship, and unmatched panoramic views stretching from the Steens Mountains across the surrounding ranchlands and valley floor. Custom built in 2009, the 3,107± square foot home was thoughtfully designed to bring the outdoors in, with expansive picture windows, vaulted ceilings, warm natural finishes, and carefully positioned living spaces that capture the beauty of Eastern Oregon from nearly every room. The home blends rustic elegance with modern efficiency and comfort. Hickory flooring and cabinetry, stained and heated concrete floors, granite tile countertops, custom lighting, tongue-and-groove pine accents, and quality craftsmanship are found throughout the residence. The spacious kitchen, sunroom, and living areas flow seamlessly onto multiple covered decks, creating exceptional indoor-outdoor living spaces ideal for entertaining or simply enjoying the remarkable high desert sunsets. The finished basement, heated garage, insulated concrete foundation system, updated heat pump, and attention to detail throughout the property reflect the pride of ownership and thoughtful planning invested into this one-of-a-kind home. Beyond the home, the property has been carefully developed to complement the surrounding landscape while maintaining a low-maintenance and wildfire-conscious design. Native grasses, sagebrush, fruit trees, raised garden beds, custom rock work, livestock corrals, and a traditional Alaskan-style cedar sauna building all contribute to the property's unique character. Wildlife is abundant, with deer, elk, chukar, quail, and partridge regularly frequenting the area, while the acreage qualifies for landowner preference deer and elk tags. Whether envisioned as a private retreat, recreational basecamp, or legacy property, this remarkable offering captures the rugged beauty and quiet solitude that make Eastern Oregon so special. Exceptional Living Spaces: This beautifully crafted custom home was designed to combine comfort, efficiency, and breathtaking connection to the surrounding landscape. The 3,107± square foot residence features expansive picture windows that capture panoramic views of the Harney Basin, Steens Mountains, and surrounding ranchlands from nearly every room. The home showcases quality craftsmanship throughout, including vaulted ceilings, stained and heated concrete floors, hickory flooring and cabinetry, granite tile countertops, tongue-and-groove pine accents, recessed lighting, and warm natural finishes. The spacious kitchen offers custom cabinetry, quality appliances, a movable island, farmhouse sink, and butler's pantry, while the sunroom and living areas flow seamlessly onto covered decks designed to enjoy the remarkable high desert setting. The primary suite features vaulted ceilings, large windows, walk-in closet, and a beautifully finished ensuite bathroom with custom tile work and dual sinks. Additional features include a finished basement with heated floors and large family room, insulated concrete foundation system (ICF), updated heat pump, central vacuum system, and a fully insulated heated garage with built-in storage and workspace. Unique Features and Outdoor Living: The Tucked near the home is a beautifully crafted Alaskan-style cedar sauna building that creates a true retreat atmosphere within the property. The fully insulated structure features cedar-lined walls, ceilings, and benches surrounding a traditional wood stove, offering a warm and inviting space to relax after a long day while embracing the quiet solitude and rugged beauty of the high desert landscape.
