Sunriver Properties For Sale

In the early to mid 19th century, what is now Sunriver Resort was an ideal location for the settlers, trappers, and explorers who led expeditions along the Deschutes River. Spend anytime at all in the Sunriver area, and the abundance of wildlife and natural beauty make it clear why early settlers and the Native Americans were able to thrive here. 

The US Army claimed the meadow and surrounding acreage for training combat construction battalions in 1942, only to close on D-Day in July 1944. Today’s Great Hall at Sunriver Resort is the only building that remains from the US Army’s Camp Abbot. In 1965, Donald V. McCallum and John D. Gray bought the land. They started creating the residential community and luxury resort they envisioned, and on June 28th, 1968 sold the first home site.

Bordered by the Big Deschutes River to the West, Sunriver Resort contains over 3000 acres of property and over 44,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space. Sunriver also boasts three 18 hole golf courses, tennis facilities, the Sunriver Homeowners Aquatic & Recreation Center (SHARC), and the Sage Springs Club & Spa. With 4700 residences and 1,500 full-time residents, Sunriver experiences seasonal fluctuations in the local population as second homeowners come to enjoy Central Oregon.

Sunriver Resort is directly adjacent to Three Rivers South, with easy access to Mt. Bachelor and the Cascade Lakes. It is no surprise that with the abundance of recreational opportunities and amenities available that Sunriver has more than 400 rental properties. Sitting at 4200’, Sunriver does see more snow than Bend, but that lends to the resort vibe! 

Locals and visitors alike appreciate the Village at Sunriver for the shops and restaurants available in this relatively small community. Not too small to host “American Idol” in the fall of 2019. If you search the internet, you might find a picture of Lionel Ritchie visiting Marcello’s Restaurant!
