Where Legacy Meets the Water: 54685 Silver Fox Drive, Bend, OR 97707

A Small-Acreage Riverfront Estate on the Big Deschutes River

They quite literally do not make them like this anymore. And legally, they aren’t allowed to.

Welcome to 54685 Silver Fox Drive, a rare and remarkable 1.37-acre riverfront sanctuary nestled along one of the most scenic stretches of the Big Deschutes River. Secured by an electronic gated entry, this property offers a level of privacy, space, and immediate proximity to the water that is nearly impossible to find in today’s market.

At the heart of this estate is a custom, vintage 1980 log home. Solidly built, impeccably maintained, and bursting with authentic character, this residence offers a nostalgic, cozy warmth that modern construction simply cannot replicate.

The Ultimate Riverfront Location (A Grandfathered Legacy)

The defining feature of this extraordinary property is its footprint. Built in 1980, the home sits in an enviable position right on the river’s edge. Modern environmental setback regulations mean you can no longer build a home this close to the water.

Step out onto your expansive wrap-around covered decking and watch the river glide by. Whether it's your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, the sights and sounds of the Big Deschutes are your constant companion, just steps from your back door.

Authentic Character & Cozy Living Space

Spanning 2,472 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the home’s layout is designed to bring family and friends together while maintaining quiet corners for relaxation.

For those who appreciate historic craftsmanship, the kitchen also features an authentic wood-burning cookstove—perfect for slow-simmering winter meals.

• Two Levels of Comfort: A spacious family room with a built-in wet bar provides the ultimate space for game nights or watching the sunset over the water. For ultimate convenience, the home features a dual upstairs and downstairs laundry setup.
