Terrebonne, located 25 miles north of Bend, is one such community that has received much-deserved attention recently. Adjacent to Smith Rock State Park, considered the cradle of American rock climbing, Terrebonne is a small community that boasts incredible recreation, a mild Mediterranean-like climate, and sprawling acreage properties.

“The 40-acre estate on NW Smith Rock Way is a perfect example of Central Oregon luxury,” says Howard. This unique estate is zoned for farming but can serve as so much more. It is irrigation ready for 30 acres, has a 7,000 sq. ft renovated barn, a beautifully remodeled 2,058 sq. ft., three bedroom home, a pond with a swim-up island, stunning mountain and territorial views, and more. “The possibilities are endless,” says Howard. This is an ideal real property for a buyer looking for a vacation or second home, a rental property, an equestrian, farm or ranch estate, or to create a beautiful wedding venue.
