A Rare Development Taking Shape Between Redmond and Sisters
A new development is taking shape between Redmond and Sisters, and for anyone paying attention to the Central Oregon real estate landscape, it is worth understanding what it represents.
The project, called Peaks 360, received final approval from Deschutes County earlier this year following a four-year application process that included multiple appeals from neighboring ranchers and land conservation groups. Construction is now underway on the roads that will eventually serve 70 luxury homes spread across 710 acres at the end of Coyner Avenue, roughly 10 miles west of Redmond. Developers hope to have roads in place by the end of 2027.
The name Peaks 360 reflects what future homeowners can expect: unobstructed views of the Cascades in every direction. Lots are expected to sell for around half a million dollars each, with finished homes likely reaching into the millions. It is the kind of rural residential offering that draws buyers who want space, privacy, and scenery in equal measure.
What makes this development notable beyond its scale is the possibility that it may be the last of its kind in Deschutes County. A recent shift in the county’s political landscape, combined with an active petition before the state’s Land Conservation and Development Commission, could close the door on future rural rezones of this nature. The county has approved more agricultural-to-residential rezones than any other in Oregon, and that practice is now facing serious scrutiny at the state level.
For buyers interested in this type of property, the window may be narrowing. Central Oregon has long attracted people who want to live surrounded by natural beauty with room to breathe, and developments like Peaks 360 represent one of the last opportunities to do that outside of existing urban growth boundaries.
