A Legacy Crafted — Where Timeless Architecture Meets Sisters Living in Cascade Meadow Ranch

Share This Story

Some homes are measured in square feet. This one’s measured in intention.

Perched on 2.29 private acres in the exclusive, gated Cascade Meadow Ranch just outside Sisters, Oregon, this 4,448-square-foot custom home is more than beautiful—it’s meaningful. Every beam, stair, and stone was placed not just with purpose, but with pride. This isn’t a builder-grade replica. It’s a once-in-a-generation original.

Built to Endure. Designed to Matter.

Back in the mid-90s, two master builders—brothers from San Francisco with a background in restoring historic mansions—relocated to Central Oregon and spent 18 months handcrafting this home. They didn’t bring contractors. They brought artistry.

The wood throughout is reclaimed old-growth fir, salvaged from a building in Corvallis, then milled in Seneca and Sisters. Nail holes were left exposed on purpose—not out of oversight but out of reverence. Those marks are proof that this home has a past worth remembering.

Soaring vaulted ceilings showcase hand-shaped beams. A two-week staircase build was assembled like sculpture. Ponderosa Forge was brought in to create the wrought iron railing and distinctive Montana River rock fireplaces.

Even the structure was ahead of its time—engineered to San Francisco earthquake standards, with no cracking or settling decades later. The home was also designed with wildfire protection in mind long before it was the norm, with perimeter gravel and a rock skirt that acts as a natural fire barrier.

Mountain Views from Every Room

This home was built to face the mountains—and every room reflects that. Whether you’re standing in the great room beside the fireplace or waking up in the oversized master suite with a soaking tub and gas fireplace, the Cascades are always in view.

The layout offers four spacious bedrooms and five bathrooms. Multiple bonus rooms provide flexibility for quilting, hobbies, creative work, or office space. A chef’s kitchen with Thermador 6-burner range, stainless appliances, and a walk-in pantry opens to the heart of the home—ideal for entertaining or quiet mornings.

Outside, covered cedar decks overlook manicured landscaping, a tranquil waterfall and pond, and peaceful privacy on all sides. Redwood siding adds warmth and timelessness to the home’s exterior.

Cascade Meadow Ranch: Space, Privacy, and Unmatched Access

Living here means living differently. Cascade Meadow Ranch spans 360 acres of preserved meadows, forest, and ponds—and nearly half the land is held in common by the HOA to protect the environment and your privacy. There’s a strong sense of stewardship here, supported by proactive Firewise certification since 2007 and thoughtful infrastructure throughout.

This community is purpose-built for those who value nature, quiet, and room to roam. It also happens to be an equestrian dream.

Equestrian and Outdoor Amenities Include:

• Indoor and outdoor riding arenas

• 18-stall community barn with heated wash rack, grooming stations, hot walker, and tack room

• 25 dry paddocks and two 50-acre irrigated pastures—ideal for training, turnout, and rotation

• Riding trails with direct access to U.S. Forest Service land through five private gates

Even if you’re not a rider, you’ll appreciate the amenities:

• Tennis and pickleball courts

• A community clubhouse with kitchen, deck, event and game room

• A private lake and pond stocked with bass and bluegill

• Secure RV and toy storage

• Miles of trails, endless stars, and no road noise

And while horses are welcome, most residents simply come for the serenity, safety, and sense of space.

You Can’t Build This Again

Try finding this level of wood. Try sourcing this kind of labor. Try building a house like this in today’s market without breaking the $4M mark—and you’ll quickly understand: this home isn’t just irreplaceable. It’s impossible to recreate.

It’s for someone who values what can’t be copied. Who sees meaning in every hand-forged detail.

Photos and descriptions can only take you so far. You have to walk the cedar deck, hear the waterfall, and watch the sun fall behind the peaks to understand what this home really offers. It’s more than square footage. It’s a feeling. It’s a legacy.
