Running Y Ranch
A bounty of activities and natural beauty awaits at Running Y Ranch. Overlooking Upper Klamath Lake in Southern Oregon, this community features 3,600 acres of wooded hills and meadows, as well as many recreational facilities-including the state's only Arnold Palmer-designed golf course. This is the ideal setting to balance active living and relaxation.

Brasada-Ranch
Imagine a private world inspired by the Old West but filled with modern amenities. This place really exists. It's called Brasada Ranch, located in Powell Butte, Oregon, near Bend. With over 300 days of sunshine annually, a beautifully rural high desert setting, and the perfect blend of recreation and relaxation, Brasada Ranch lets you live a life that's simply panoramic. Brasada Ranch was the first-ever destination resort in the state of Oregon, and just the fourth nationally, to earn the prestigious U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification rating.

Eagle Crest Resort
This community is a paradise within Central Oregon’s stunning High Desert, near Redmond. Enjoy the resort’s ample recreation and fitness facilities; or take advantage of nearby lakes, rivers and mountains, which are perfect for enjoying nearly any water or winter sport.
