This single-level ranch at 481 SW Helmholtz Way delivers country character and practical acreage in southwest Redmond. The 1,706‑square‑foot floorplan (four bedrooms, two baths) balances original charm — hardwood floors and a welcoming porch — with updates that keep the layout functional for modern living. Enter through a shady sitting porch to a pleasant country kitchen and a roomy family room centered around a gas fireplace. Bedrooms are well-separated for privacy and the primary suite sits comfortably away from living areas.
Outside, the property opens to roughly two acres (lot data shows 94,089 SF), with approximately one acre of recorded COI irrigation rights that make planting, pasturing, or a substantial garden realistic for this parcel. The yard is partially fenced, offering safe space for pets or small livestock, with room to add raised beds or an orchard. Practical features include a covered carport, a dedicated workshop area for projects and storage, and multiple outdoor pads for equipment, trailers, or RV parking.
Location is an understated advantage: you get a peaceful rural feel while remaining minutes from key services. Redmond Municipal Airport is nearby for frequent travelers, and downtown Redmond’s restaurants, grocery stores, and services are an easy drive. Outdoor recreation is abundant in Central Oregon — local trails, river access, and world-class rock climbing at Smith Rock are within reach for weekend escapes.
The property is well suited to buyers who value single‑level living and usable land — families, downsizers seeking room for hobbies, or buyers wanting a small-scale hobby farm. Systems and utilities should be confirmed during due diligence (water/sewer connections and the precise acreage should be verified). With its mix of living space, irrigated land, and workshop utility, this home offers a rare combination on the southwest side of Redmond.
