1222 NW Archie Briggs Rd, Bend, OR 97703

This is it. This is the Bend dream. Perched on the side of an extinct volcano, no fences, only nature, mountains, rivers and forests forever—and then one of the great Western towns right in your back yard.

You can see and hear the sound of white water rushing from the home site. It sits up on the steep northern flank of Awbrey Butte, but you can walk on your own trail down to what we think of as our own private swimming hole (15 min. walk). I only say private, because I've never seen anybody else there. Also just below the property (short walk) is the Deschutes river trail system which stretches for miles in two directions. A bike path that runs all the way to downtown Bend. About a 20 minute bike ride. 40 minute walk. (No cars). The main view to the North (just after the river) is protected green space and will not be built on.

This is a unique property because you have the bustle of Bend at your fingertips, but it’s also one of the few places in the region where you can live so close to the center of the city, and still feel off the grid and in the county.

It’s the last buildable lot in Awbrey Butte that is on the rimrock above the Deschutes River. This 1+ acre property has a five-volcano view. Three Fingered Jack, Mount Washington, Broken Top, Jefferson, and Mount Hood. Black Butte is front and center.
