What Does $1,645,000 Buy You at Brasada Ranch?

A room-by-room tour of Kelly Johnson's new Brasada Ranch listing at $1,645,000, a 2018-built home plus an adjacent buildable lot in Powell Butte, Oregon.

Great room interior of the Brasada Ranch listing near Bend, Oregon

I have a new listing at Brasada Ranch, and I want to walk you through it the way I would if you were standing in the driveway with me. The combined price is $1,645,000 for the house at $1,395,000 plus the adjacent buildable lot at $250,000, and honestly, the number only tells you so much. What it actually buys is a 2018 custom home perched on the edge of a ravine with no visible neighbors, a view of the Cascades that includes Mt. Jefferson, and 1.30 combined acres in one of Central Oregon’s most established resort communities. I am a real estate agent in Bend, Oregon helping relocation buyers moving to Bend and local move-up sellers and buyers, and this is one of those listings where the photos are good but standing in the great room is better. Here is the full picture.

The Property, Address, and the Numbers

The listing is 15675 SW Brasada Ranch Rd, Powell Butte, OR 97753, with the adjacent parcel, Lot 640, sold together. The house is priced at $1,395,000 and the adjacent buildable lot is $250,000, for a combined $1,645,000. Together they total 1.30 acres, with 0.66 acres under the house itself and 0.64 acres of buildable land next door that already has utilities run to the street.

The home was built in 2018 by CNC to an above code standard and carries LEED Earth Advantage certification, which is not something you see on every custom build in this price range. It has 3,169 square feet across two levels, 2,040 on the main level and 1,129 upstairs, with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a 3-car garage.

I will say this the way I say it to every buyer who asks about Brasada: this is not a Bend city listing, and the price tier reflects that. Inside Bend, $600K to $750K buys a solid single family home in NE or SE Bend, and $750K to $900K gets you a mountain view in SW Bend, though mostly a fixer-upper if you are looking in NW Bend at that number. True unobstructed mountain views in NW Bend generally start north of $1M. Brasada is not competing in that conversation. This home is priced against other resort and ranch properties, and once you see what is included, the comparison makes more sense.

Walking Into the Great Room

The great room is the heart of this house, and it is built to make you stop talking for a second when you walk in. Vaulted ceilings, a wood beam overhead, and a stone fireplace anchor the space, and a multi-panel sliding glass wall opens the entire room to the outdoors. When that wall is open, the line between inside and outside basically disappears, which matters here because of what is on the other side of it.

This is where I tell buyers to slow down and actually sit for a minute rather than doing the quick walkthrough. The room is built for the view as much as for the fireplace, and you feel that the moment the glass wall is open and the high desert air comes through.

The Primary Suite and Main Level Living

The primary suite is on the main level, which I know matters to a lot of buyers looking at a second home or an eventual retirement property. It has a soaking tub and dual shower heads, and like the rest of the main floor, it is finished with granite counters, hickory hardwood floors, and craftsman-style cabinets throughout.

One detail that buyers notice once I point it out: the doors throughout the home are 8 feet tall. It is a small thing until you are standing in the space, and then it changes how the whole house feels, taller, more open, less boxed in than a standard 7-foot door line.

Built Above Code, and What That Actually Means Day to Day

I mentioned the LEED Earth Advantage certification and the above code construction standard, and I want to explain why that is worth paying attention to rather than just listing it as a feature.

This home has a central vacuum system, a whole-house air scrubber, a water leak detection system, and a recirculating water heater. None of those are things you can see in a listing photo, but they are the kind of systems that make a difference in a home you actually live in day to day, especially somewhere as remote as Powell Butte, where you want a house that takes care of itself when you are not there to check on it.

Upstairs and the Wine Cellar

Upstairs holds two more bedrooms, one full bathroom, and a bonus room, giving the home real flexibility for guests, family, or a dedicated office setup.

The detail I bring up first when I show this house is the wine cellar and bar nook, finished with a brick herringbone ceiling. It is a small, specific space, but it is the kind of feature that tells you this house was designed with intention rather than built to a standard spec sheet.

Outside: The Setting Is the Real Selling Point

Here is the part of this listing that is hardest to capture in photos. The home is perched on the edge of a ravine, overlooking the 17th green and 18th tee box, with no visible neighbors. From the outdoor spaces, the views include the Cascade Mountains, Mt. Jefferson, Hat Rock, and Palina Mountain, and on the Fourth of July, you can see the Bend and Redmond fireworks from the property.

Outside, there is a hot tub and an outdoor shower with a stone surround. There is no fencing, which fits the setting. This is a home built around open land and long views, not a yard you fence in.

The Adjacent Lot: More Than a Buffer

Lot 640 is the adjacent buildable parcel included in this combined listing, and it is worth understanding on its own rather than as an afterthought. It is 0.64 acres, buildable, with utilities already run to the street, which means whoever owns it has real options: build a second structure, guest house, or simply hold it as a permanent buffer that protects the privacy and the view corridor this home already has. Combined with the 0.66-acre house lot, the total comes to 1.30 acres, which is genuinely spacious for a resort community lot.

What You Get Beyond the House: Brasada Ranch Itself

Buying at Brasada Ranch means buying into the resort, not just the address. Residents have access to Brasada Canyons, the 18-hole golf course designed by Peter Jacobsen, an athletic center, indoor and outdoor pools, pickleball and tennis courts, a full-service spa, an equestrian center with riding trails, and on-site dining. All of that sits within the community’s 1,800 acres of grounds and trails.

I have written before about what Brasada Ranch is like to live in more broadly, and this listing is a real example of what the top of that lifestyle looks like: a custom home with a genuinely private setting, direct golf course frontage, and full access to everything the resort offers.

What This Home Costs Beyond the Purchase Price

I want to be straightforward here rather than vague. Resort living at Brasada comes with HOA dues and a required club membership, and those are real costs worth budgeting for. I do not have exact current figures to publish here, and I would rather tell you that honestly than guess. If this home is on your radar, I will help you get the exact numbers directly before you get attached to it or write an offer.

Who This Home Fits

This listing fits a buyer who wants genuine privacy and a view that does not change, someone who values golf course access and resort amenities as part of daily life rather than an occasional splurge. It fits a second home buyer who wants a Central Oregon getaway with real hospitality and dining on site, and it fits someone thinking about an eventual full-time move to a resort setting once they are ready to leave a more urban pace behind.

It is probably not the right fit if proximity to downtown Bend, walkability, or being inside city limits matters more to you than land and privacy. I say that upfront with every buyer I show Brasada to, because I would rather point you toward NW Bend or SW Bend early than let you fall for a view you cannot actually use the way you pictured.

How I Can Help You See It

I have been a licensed Oregon real estate broker since 2007. I am Oregon born and raised, though I have also lived in Southern California, Colorado, and the Bay Area, and I have helped relocation buyers land in Bend and Central Oregon from more than ten different metro areas. When a buyer is serious about this listing, I start with a real conversation about how you would actually use the home, full time, seasonal, or a future retirement place, and then I set up a private showing so you can stand in that great room and see the ravine and the 17th green for yourself. Photos genuinely do not do this one justice.
