Central Oregon Estate
This rustic retreat in central Oregon is loaded with modern amenities.
This stone see-thru fireplace features a juniper mantle, and a built-in juniper wood cabinets to the left. In front of the fireplace sit two leather ottomans and a seating group for seven. To the left, built in bookcases hold cherished memories. An arched entryway leads to a smaller den.
Timber frame and log houses often conjure notions of remote rustic outposts located in solitary surroundings of open grasslands or mature woodlands. When the owner approached MossCreek to design a timber-framed log home on a less than one acre site in an upscale Oregon golf community, the principle of the firm, Allen Halcomb, was intrigued. Bend, OR, on the eastern side of the Cascades Mountains, has an arid desert climate, creating an ideal environment for a Tuscan influenced exterior.
