Norman-Built Oregon Sanctuary Blending Timeless Elegance and Mountain Serenity Lists for $8.9 Million
Tucked behind the gates of one of Central Oregon’s most prestigious enclaves, 18883 Sutherland Ct stands as a rare convergence of privacy, architectural pedigree, and resort-style living. Listed for $8.9 million, the estate occupies more than 10 acres within The Highlands at Broken Top, a setting prized for its expansive parcels and proximity to Bend’s outdoor lifestyle. In a market where acreage and exclusivity are increasingly scarce, this offering represents a standout within today’s Bend Real Estate landscape.
Built in 2005 by Norman Building and Design, the residence was conceived as a long-term retreat rather than a speculative project. “The owner approached this home as a legacy property,” the listing agent told Luxury Houses Magazine, noting that the seller is a successful entrepreneur who has chosen to keep their identity private. “Every decision—from the siting on the land to the interior materials—was made with permanence in mind.”
Timeless Architecture Framed by High Desert Views
Spanning approximately 9,770 square feet, the home unfolds with a sense of calm scale. A dramatic great room anchors the main level, where soaring ceilings and a stone fireplace frame sweeping views of the surrounding high desert and distant mountains. Natural materials—hardwood, stone, and custom millwork—create continuity throughout the interiors, reinforcing the home’s Northwest architectural roots.
The kitchen balances elegance with function, appointed with veined granite countertops, custom cherry cabinetry, and professional-grade appliances. Designed to accommodate both daily living and large gatherings, it opens seamlessly to adjacent entertaining spaces. According to the agent, “Homes of this caliber in Bend Real Estate are increasingly difficult to replicate today, especially with this level of craftsmanship and land ownership.”

A Primary Suite and Interiors Designed for Retreat
The main-level primary suite serves as a private sanctuary within the estate, featuring its own fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bathroom designed for quiet retreat. Additional interior spaces include a library, wet bar, wine cellar, and a dedicated home theater—each integrated naturally rather than feeling additive.
“Many buyers today are looking for homes that function as personal resorts,” the agent shared with Luxury Houses, emphasizing that the layout supports both multigenerational living and extended stays. This design philosophy places 18883 Sutherland Ct firmly within the upper echelon of Oregon Real Estate offerings that prioritize lifestyle as much as scale.

Resort-Style Grounds on Over Ten Private Acres
Outdoors, the estate transitions into a resort setting, complete with a heated pool, hot tub, and multiple entertaining terraces. Mature landscaping, native plantings, and water features enhance the sense of seclusion, while adjoining public lands further protect the surrounding views. A detached guest house provides additional accommodations, and multiple heated garages—some equipped for electric vehicles—add flexibility rarely found in mountain properties.
From an investment perspective, the property’s transaction history underscores its long-term value. Acquired for under $500,000 in 2004, the estate has appreciated steadily, reflecting broader trends in Oregon Real Estate as Bend has evolved into a premier destination for high-net-worth buyers seeking both lifestyle and stability.
A Prime Position Within Bend’s Most Coveted Community
Situated minutes from downtown Bend, the Highlands at Broken Top offers residents gated security alongside convenient access to dining, shopping, and year-round recreation. World-class skiing at Mt. Bachelor, championship golf, trail networks, and Bend’s celebrated culinary scene are all within easy reach, reinforcing the area’s appeal to buyers relocating from larger metropolitan markets.
As Luxury Houses Magazine has consistently observed, properties combining acreage, privacy, and established construction rarely trade hands publicly. With its setting, scale, and architectural integrity, 18883 Sutherland Ct emerges as one of the most compelling estate offerings currently available in Bend Real Estate, appealing equally to lifestyle-driven buyers and long-term investors.
