16186 Vaqueros Way

There are now some great homes at Brasada Ranch, but few can compare to 16186 Vaqueros Way . . . a stunning multi-generational gathering place overlooking the signature 15th. fairway of the Brasada Canyons course, with a panoramic backdrop of the Cascade Range.

The Early Days at Brasada Ranch

In the early days, there was some talk about calling the ranch “Vaquero” . . . a tribute to the early Hispanic cowboys. Unfortunately, the name was already taken by a gated community outside of Dallas . . . so Brasada Ranch it was.

Looking back a bit more than ten years–to June of 2005–Brasada Ranch stunned the Central Oregon real estate world by selling more than $60,000,000 in  land in just two days! 200 homesites at an average price of $313,000. Amazing!

The Shit Hits The Fan

Then came the great recession . . . property values at Brasada Ranch (and elsewhere) plummeted. Lots that had sold in the mid 300’s were available at $50,000 or less. Those with loans (90% of them with Bank of America at just 10% down) walked away from their properties. The developer (Jeld-Wen) floundered, and the entire destination resort scene in Central Oregon was in chaos.

The Turnaround

With time, the market improved. Brasada Ranch greeted a new developer in Northview, a hospitality company based in New jersey.

Today at Brasada Ranch

The turnaround is complete– Brasada Ranch is thriving . . . land is selling (46 lots in the last year) and homes are sprouting up throughout the community.
