Lots coming available in 2026.
MOUNTAIN VIEWS
River dreams
The last true estate homesites near Bend
The team of four developers who purchased what was once Gulpher Gulch and the former OB Riley Ranch Homestead, all live in the neighborhood. Life here is unforced.
Morning rides begin at your driveway. Afternoons end along the river. Evenings return you home beneath dark skies and quiet air – yet Bend’s restaurants, schools and daily conveniences remain only minutes away.
This is estate living designed for modern life: grounded in nature, supported by access, and free from excess. The impact here is in the natural landscape, wild life, interesting geography and open vistas. We believe this place deserves to be preserved and adored as naturally as possible.

VIEWS & ACCESS
Select homesites capture broad Cascade Mountain views – protected by natural buffers and adjacent conservation land.
Open Horizons
River & Trail Access
Mountain Vistas
Direct connections to the Deschutes River Trail and Riley Ranch Reserve places miles of preserved terrain just beyond your doorstep.
Ten acres affords not only space, but perspective – an increasingly rare luxury in Central Oregon.
21 LOts AVAILABLE
In markets across the West, estate‑scale land near thriving mountain towns has quietly disappeared. Pacific Cascade Heights represents one of the final opportunities to secure meaningful acreage within minutes of Bend’s cultural, culinary, and recreational core.
Each homesite offers the space to build with intention—without visual congestion, shared boundaries, or compromised views—while remaining seamlessly connected to daily life.
Privacy, proximity, and permanence rarely coexist.
Here, they do.
LEGACY
PRESERVED
A place defined by land that cannot be recreated, proximity that cannot be replicated, and a philosophy that values permanence over expansion.
When these homesites are built, opportunities like this will no longer exist.
— MATT TOBOLSKI - RESIDENT
“We know just how magical this place can be. The amazing views, the wildlife just outside your doorstep, the trails down to the river, and those planned throughout the neighborhood… It’s all special.”
— ROB KELLEHER - DEVELOPER & RESIDENT
“We live in the neighborhood, we have families here, we really have a stake in the game. We all want to preserve the land and make a safe community for future generations.”
— Scott Smallwood - resident
“We have found one of the last pieces of land that hits all these amazing factors,” It steeps its residents in nature while keeping them within a convenient distance to Bend and all of the urban amenities that draw people in.”
— DOUG KNOPPER - RESIDENT
“My wife and I jokingly call this development ‘fake rural.' Each home lies in a beautiful natural setting, some with breathtaking mountain views, some with river views, some with meadow views, and yet we’re just down the road from Costco and Trader Joe’s. It really is the best of both worlds.”
Sweet! You are OUR list.
We'll send you updates on the development as they release. And you'll be the first to know!

STEWARDSHIP AND
Pacific Cascade Heights was developed by a small group of local residents with a personal connection to the land.
Every decision – from lot configuration to infrastructure – was guided by a single principle: leave the land better than it was found. Roads are limited. Density is retrained. Open space is prioritized. This is stewardship measured not in marketing language, but in outcomes that endure. Each lot is designed to maximize views of the Cascade mountains while maintaining privacy between neighbors with designated buildable areas. Almost all lots have views and a variety of topography that make each one unique. Some lots even have Swalley irrigation rights. The entire 250 acre development will offer horse/walking trails and has access to the Deschutes River Trail and Riley Ranch Nature Preserve.

ARCHITECTURE
DESIGN AND
Homes at Pacific Cascade Heights are fully custom. Architectural guidelines exist not to impose style, but to protect experience – ensuring privacy, preserving views, and maintaining the integrity of the landscape as a whole. The result is a collection of residences that feel individual yet cohesive, distinct yet deeply connected to their surroundings.
Nothing is pre-designed.
Nothing mass-produced.
Only what belongs. All homes in Pacific Cascade Heights are custom designed and built by their respective owners. Each lot has been laid out with a designated buildable footprint that maximizes views and privacy. However, as an experienced development team, we offer services and recommendations to make this as easy as possible! We offer architect and builder referrals along with our relaxed CC&R guidelines to help you build the home of your dreams.
