Arrive at a modern single-level ranch that was finished in 2023 and designed for life in Central Oregon. Set on just under an acre in the Oregon Water Wonderland neighborhood, this 2,720 sq ft home opens into a generous great room anchored by a large propane fireplace—an immediate focal point for gatherings. The chef's kitchen features an oversized island and open sightlines that keep the heart of the home connected to dining and outdoor entertaining on the expansive covered patio, which is prepped with a propane stub for a future outdoor kitchen.

Practicality and flexibility define the floorplan. A private guest suite with its own entrance and kitchenette makes long-stay visitors or multigenerational arrangements effortless, while three additional bedrooms and two more baths keep daily life comfortable. Mechanical systems include a heat pump plus forced air and propane options, and the home’s condition is described as excellent. Utilities are a mix of public electricity, private water, and septic—important considerations for rural living here.

The standout amenity is the finished 2,800 sq ft workshop: two private offices, a full bathroom, insulated and heated space, a loft area, and 200-amp service. That scale of workspace—separate from the living area—creates rare opportunities for a home-based business, artisan shop, or storage for toys and equipment. Adjacent to the home is an oversized three-car garage with added RV/boat storage capacity and a built-in dog wash station, making this property ideal for active families and serious hobbyists.

Lifestyle here leans outdoors: the Deschutes River sits roughly half a mile away for fishing, paddling and river access, Sunriver Resort is about five miles distant, and Mt. Bachelor is within easy day-trip range. While the lot is level and low-maintenance, buyers should note the parcel uses private water and septic systems; routine testing and inspection are recommended. Priced at $1,450,000 (roughly $533/sq ft), this home’s combination of new construction, high-end workshop space and river-proximate location delivers a compelling package for buyers seeking both lifestyle and functional workspace.

Oregon Water Wonderland offers spacious lots and a lifestyle built around Central Oregon’s outdoor playground. Homes here sit within easy reach of the Deschutes River for paddling and fishing, with Sunriver Resort’s amenities a short drive away and Mt. Bachelor accessible for winter recreation. The neighborhood is low-density and residential, attractive to buyers seeking privacy without sacrificing proximity to Bend’s restaurants, shops and services. Local demographics show steady growth and a household median income near $75,000 in the immediate 1-mile area, underscoring a community of active, outdoors-oriented families.
