Modern Farmhouse Retreat in Central Oregon

This stunning home is set on 20 tranquil acres of farmland in Central Oregon, offering an exceptional blend of modern design and rural charm. Surrounded by a fragrant lavender farm on one side and a picturesque alpaca farm on the other, the property is a true escape, with unobstructed views of the Cascade Mountains and rolling fields. A west-facing orientation ensures nightly displays of vibrant sunsets, reflected beautifully in a serene pond that enhances the landscape.

The home’s innovative Reynaers window system is a defining feature, offering seamless indoor-outdoor living. Expansive sliding glass walls invite the beauty of summer into the home, creating a harmonious flow between interior and exterior spaces. During the colder months, the triple-pane glazing provides superior insulation, protecting the home from Central Oregon’s winter chill while maximizing energy efficiency and comfort.

Designed to maximize its connection to nature, the home features an expansive outdoor living area that serves as an extension of the interior. This space is thoughtfully outfitted with powered roll-down shades for protection from wind and sun, creating a comfortable retreat. Highlights include a fire pit, an outdoor fireplace, a television, a cozy living room, and a dining area perfect for hosting friends and family under the open sky.

Inside, the home showcases meticulous craftsmanship and luxurious details. Custom walnut cabinets bring warmth and sophistication to the kitchen, which also features a large granite-clad island, ideal for gathering and entertaining. The heart of the great room is a commanding fireplace, clad in white quartz, that serves as both a functional centerpiece and a striking architectural feature. Expansive windows throughout the home invite natural light and frame the ever-changing vistas of the surrounding farmland.

With its seamless blend of contemporary design, innovative features, and connection to the breathtaking Central Oregon landscape, this home offers an unparalleled living experience—one that balances modern luxury with rural serenity.

The home’s name came from the husband’s proclivity for blasting Pantera‘s Cowboys From Hell in the car on the way to design meetings, much to the wife’s chagrin.
