PointsWest’s Ski Village!

The beginning of an epic ski season. The ending of an epic ski village.

Admit it. On your journeys back and forth to Mt. Bachelor, you’ve always been a little envious of people staying at the 7th Mountain Resort. Being much closer to the slopes means they can sleep in a bit longer, yet still make first tracks on their favorite run. What’s more, they can be enjoying Apres’ Ski wine and cheese, without having to fight through roundabout traffic in Bend.

Well, guess what. There are still a few homes left at PointsWest, the award-winning neighborhood of townhomes right next to the resort. Which means it isn’t too late to own a magnificent home that’s as close as you can get to Mt. Bachelor. Right at the outset of what promises to be another stellar ski season.

Of course, that’s not the only beauty of living at PointsWest in the wintertime. Nestled on a bluff above the Deschutes River, hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing on the River Trail are right outside your door. Some folks have even been ice skating on the big pond down below.

We handle all the neighborhood snow removal and routine maintenance. And even though PointsWest offers unparalleled peace and quiet, it’s still just an easy seven-mile drive to all of the dining and cultural activities in downtown Bend.

Our spectacularly spacious “Deschutes” floor plan overlooking the river that bears its name won Best Master Suite and Best Landscaping on the COBA Tour of Homes this year. This 4-BR, 4-BA, two-story masterpiece offers more than 3,600 square feet of maintenance-free living. Our three other remaining homes in the neighborhood also provide upwards of 3,000 square feet, with breathtaking river views, dramatic lava formations in the backyard, and prices starting as low as $869,750.

So don’t let another day slip by before making tracks for PointsWest. There’s never been a better time to get your skis waxed and get moving.

PointsWest River View!

Spend your mornings on the mountain. And your evenings on the bluff.  

During an epic ski season like this, you want to be the first one on the slopes. But not the last one home for a glass of wine in your favorite chair.

No place makes those two scenarios as easy as PointsWest Townhomes. Quite simply, PointsWest is Bend’s closest community to Mt. Bachelor. Since all of the snow removal and yard maintenance is handled for you, there’s nothing to keep you from leading the first-tracks parade up to Pine Marten. And at the end of the day, while the rest of snowriders are chilling in roundabout traffic on Century Drive, you can be warming up by the fire and watching the sun’s last rays linger on the Deschutes River below.

All seven of our remaining homes are perched on the bluff just above the River Trail, putting summertime hiking, mountain biking and fly-fishing literally in your backyard. What’s more, Widgi Creek, one of Bend’s favorite golf courses, is right next door,

Each river-view home site accommodates spacious single and two-story floor plans ranging from 1,987 to 3,647 square feet. Many come with dramatic lava formations surrounding the patio. And yet, even with such rugged natural scenery, you’re only 15 minutes from the civilized activities of downtown and the Old Mill.

With prices starting at $694,750, homes at PointsWest are not only right on the bluff, they’re right on the money. So you’d better come see them. On the double.

Paddle Boarding Pandemonium

Water SportsBend is a paradise for water sports, including kayaking, canoeing, boating, and rafting, just to name a few. But one of the more obscure sports, stand-up paddle boarding, is quickly making its way into the heart of Central Oregon culture. And the best part is you don’t need any prior experience. So it is easy to get out on the water and try something new and exciting.

Stand-up paddle boarding is an ancient Hawaiian sport, in which riders stand on a large surfboard and maneuver with a long, lightweight, single-blade paddle. On any summer day, you’ll see paddlers of all ages and fitness levels making their way through the middle of town on the Deschutes River. Sometimes there’s a dog on the front of the board, and always there’s a smile on the rider’s face.

Several outfitters in Bend offer stand-up paddle-board lessons and tours. For those already comfortable on a paddle-board, renting equipment and setting out on your own is another great option. Check out Sun Country, Tumalo Creek, Standup Paddle Flatwater and Stand On Liquid, which offer services ranging from two-hour group lessons to private and semi-private options. They provide all gear, including boards, paddles, life jackets, water shoes and even the tie-downs to mount the board on your car.

One, two, or three paddleboards are not uncommon to see strapped on vehicles driving around town. More adventurous folks can partake in yoga classes and moonlit excursions on their boards. The opportunities are endless. And it is the perfect way to explore the beautiful area from a fresh perspective. The spirit of Bend is captured in the sport, proving that the locals will always take advantage of their environment by embracing unique ways to enjoy the outdoors.

Bendites are adopting surf’s up attitude of Hawaii and SoCal without the travel expenses and the crowded interstates—or the waves.
