Context

Pacific Cascade Heights, located on Bend’s west side just minutes from downtown, is an exclusive low-density residential enclave in Central Oregon. This quiet community consists of roughly fourteen private homesites, each averaging around ten acres, offering expansive space, privacy, and unobstructed natural views. Designed for those who want the freedom of rural living without sacrificing proximity to Bend’s amenities, the neighborhood blends forested terrain, ancient lava outcroppings, and panoramic Cascade Mountain vistas.

Pacific Cascade Heights is not a resort community, but rather a collection of estate-sized parcels intended for custom homes, equestrian-friendly living, and outdoor-focused lifestyles. The large homesites act as true blank canvases, allowing owners and architects broad flexibility in home design, siting, and landscape integration. The area feels deeply connected to the high-desert environment—surrounded by juniper, sage, and ponderosa with abundant wildlife and direct access to hiking, biking, and open land.

The community sits in one of Bend’s most desirable west-side rural corridors, providing quick access to schools, shopping, trails, Tumalo State Park, Shevlin Park, and Bend’s dining and recreation scene. Its elevated setting and sparse development create a sense of quiet seclusion while still being near the city. Pacific Cascade Heights appeals to homeowners seeking space, scenery, and architectural freedom within minutes of Bend’s urban core.
