Set on 1.54 acres within Bend’s gated North Rim community, directly adjacent to Archie Briggs Natural Area, this custom-built modern residence is defined by its relationship to light, landscape, and the way the home is experienced day to day. Positioned above the Deschutes River canyon, the setting offers a rare combination of privacy and openness, with expansive views that stretch across the Cascade peaks and high desert terrain.At the center of the home, a two-story atrium with a reflecting pool and pyramidal skylight introduces filtered natural light that moves throughout the day, subtly shaping the atmosphere of each space. This architectural moment anchors the upper level, where the kitchen, dining, and living areas are composed to feel connected yet distinct, and extend outward to multiple decks oriented for both views and sun exposure. The kitchen is designed for both function and gathering, featuring a full Miele appliance suite, integrated refrigeration, dual preparation areas, and a walk-in pantry that supports everyday living as easily as it does hosting.

The primary suite is positioned for separation and quiet, capturing soft natural light and long-range views. Its bathroom is designed with a spa-like sensibility, including radiant heated floors, a soaking tub, dual vanities, and a threshold-free shower. A dedicated office on this level provides flexibility for work or future conversion, while a private home theater offers an additional layer of retreat.

The lower level is intentionally arranged to create a sense of independence for guests or extended stays, with two bedrooms, additional living space, and direct access to a canyon-facing terrace. A fully integrated wellness suite anchors this level, featuring an in-ground exercise pool, cedar sauna, and a dedicated climate and ventilation system engineered specifically for humidity and air control. Large windows and exterior access maintain a connection to the surrounding landscape, reinforcing the home’s balance between interior comfort and outdoor setting.

Daily function is thoughtfully considered throughout, including an integrated Savaria Eclipse Elevator that connects the garage and entry directly to the main living level, simplifying movement and enhancing accessibility. The garage itself is designed with flexibility and performance in mind, offering air-conditioned space, EV charging capability, and direct access to storage and utility areas.Beyond its design, the home is built to operate at a high level of efficiency and durability. A solar power system with battery backup supports energy resilience, while radiant floor heating, structural insulated panel construction, and triple-pane European windows contribute to consistent year-round comfort. These systems work together to reduce operational demands while maintaining a high standard of living.

With only a portion of the allowable lot coverage currently utilized, the property also presents an opportunity for future expansion or additional structures, allowing the home to evolve over time. The result is a residence that balances architectural clarity with long-term flexibility, offering a refined approach to modern living in Bend, where privacy, performance, and connection to the landscape are equally considered.
