NEIGHBORHOOD HIGHLIGHTS - Black Butte Ranch

 
Explore Central Oregon through its most distinctive neighborhoods: from serene golf communities and modern Westside retreats to walkable downtown gems. “Living in Central Oregon” blends luxury and lifestyle, offering an insider’s perspective on where nature, design, and community come together. Discover stunning homes, local favorites, and the authentic charm that makes these neighborhoods the most sought-after places to live in Bend and surrounding Central Oregon communities.
A Private Mountain Community Designed Around Lifestyle
 
Located just 8 miles west of Sisters, Black Butte Ranch spans approximately 1,800+ acres of preserved forest and meadow at the base of the Cascade Mountains.
 
Originally a working cattle ranch, the property was intentionally developed as a low-density, master-planned community. Today, it includes roughly 1,250 homesites, with about 20% of residents living year-round, while others use their homes seasonally.
 
What makes it different isn’t just scenery, it’s infrastructure. Black Butte Ranch was built as a fully integrated resort community, meaning recreation, dining, and amenities are woven directly into daily life.
