Editor's Note: Tab Howard, LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate’s Luxury Estate Specialist in Bend, Oregon, talks about the only private water ski community in Central Oregon.
From the moment you arrive at the soaring timbered entrance and pass through the private gates, it’s clear that Tanager stands out among Central Oregon’s most desirable boutique, waterfront residential communities.
Tanager’s 182 acres is a beautiful collection of distinctive, natural landscapes. Many features of Central Oregon’s high desert - forests, meadows, canyons, cliffs and rivers - converge here, creating a property that is unlike any other.

Each Tanager’s 21 homesites is between 1.32-10 acres in size and boasts frontage along one of the development’s three water features - a regulation-size waterski lake, a recreational lake and gorgeous Tumalo Creek. “This unique community is all about taking advantage of the outdoors - and especially the water,” says Tab Howard, LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate’s Luxury Estate Specialist in Bend, Oregon. “Tanager’s developers have designed an extraordinary, private sanctuary for those looking for the luxury living in a secluded setting.”

With two private lakes and frontage to one of the area’s most beautiful rivers, Tumalo Creek, Tanager offers incredible opportunities for those looking for an exclusive waterfront lifestyle. The premier waterski and wakeboard lake is 2,100 feet long and features a turnaround island, boat harbor with a dock and mooring slips, a beach with sand imported from the Oregon coast, and a picnic area with a shelter, restroom and shower. The recreational lake, which is exclusively for non-motorized activities, is 8-acres in size and perfect for swimming, paddle boarding, canoeing, and kayaking. It is stocked with fish and has a dock from which to fish or launch small watercraft.

In addition to the community's two signature lakes, Tanager sits along nearly three-quarters of a mile of Tumalo Creek. A tributary to the Deschutes River, the creek is a natural beauty with waterfalls, rapids and picturesque rimrock cliffs.
“Tanager residents will truly enjoy Central Oregon’s changing landscape year-round,” Howard remarks. “Though nature plays a huge part of the appeal of this exclusive waterfront development, it’s also just minutes from Bend and all of its outstanding shopping, schools, and amenities.”
In October, Bend was named as the second fastest-growing city by personal finance website WalletHub based on population, job growth and growth in the number of business in the area. Not surprising to residents and visitors, Bend is also consistently hailed as one of the most livable cities in the country.

“Tanager is a unique haven for those who not only seek privacy and seclusion but want to enjoy the region’s best year-round outdoor recreation while staying close to one of Oregon’s top cities,” says Howard. “The number of homesites are limited so It’s an incredible opportunity that won’t last long.”
