Indian Ford Meadows Horse Estate

Indian Ford Meadows sits less than three miles from Sisters. Six minutes by car. The land runs right up to the national forest boundary, and close to 1,000 feet of fence follows that line. You can saddle up or lace your boots and head straight onto thousands of acres from your own gate. Only two neighbors share the cul-de-sac. It's quiet out here, the kind of quiet you notice the first night.

The home is a double-sawn log build, the timber work that feels solid the second you walk in. It went through a full renovation in 2022, so you get the warmth of an older log home with finishes and systems that are current.

The kitchen

Heated herringbone tile floors keep your feet warm on a January morning. Quartz counters. Sage green cabinets with brass pulls. KitchenAid appliances. There's a breakfast bar for quick mornings and a corner nook for the slow ones.

The main floor

The primary suite is on the main floor, which a lot of buyers ask for and few homes this size actually deliver. It runs over 18 feet square with vaulted ceilings, so it feels open the moment you step in. It has its own ductless mini-split heat pump, so you set your own temperature without touching the rest of the house. West-facing windows pull in the evening light. Plush carpet underfoot. Two closets, both behind barn doors, so there's room for everything and no fight over space.

The primary bath is all tile with red brick accents, a look that feels grounded and a little bit ranch. There's an enclosed toilet for privacy, a large tile walk-in shower, and a pedestal soaking tub for the end of a long day.

The main floor also has a second bedroom and a full bath, so a guest or an office never has to climb the stairs. The main laundry room is right here too, where you'll actually use it.

Upstairs

The second primary suite sits at the far end of the house, upstairs and away from the first. Two primaries on opposite ends means real privacy. Nobody's sharing a wall. There's another bedroom and a full bath up here as well, so the upper floor stands on its own.

The basement

The basement is a daylight level with four separate rooms. All four have been storage so far, but the light's already there and the space is prepped to finish. Turn them into a media room, a gym, a workshop, a wine room, whatever you need. There are laundry hookups down here too, so finishing out a lower-level suite later is simple.

The ADU

The one-bed ADU is purpose-built, not an afterthought someone cobbled together. It's a self-contained apartment with its own slider out to a private deck. Inside there's a living and eating space and a full kitchen, just without a range. A big bedroom and a full bath round it out. It works for long-term guests, extended family, a home office, or a rental that helps carry the place. There's a detached studio too, and a third laundry and mud room sits between the ADU and the main garage.

Garages and shop space

The three-car garage runs nearly double deep, with room for trucks, tools, and the projects that pile up. The 40-foot RV garage has a roll-up door, a mud room, and a tankless water heater. Park the motorhome, the boat, and the rest of the toys and still have space to work.

The land

The acreage was built for horses. It's flat and cross-fenced, with three stalls and runouts, two pastures, a feed shed, and a 60-foot round pen. No horses have lived here in years, but every piece of the setup is still standing and ready. Bring your own, or leave it as open pasture and enjoy the ground the way it is.

The location

You're three miles from downtown Sisters. The Sister Folk Festival, the Outdoor Quilt Show, and the Sisters Rodeo all happen a few minutes from your door. Black Butte and the Metolius headwaters are a short drive. Hoodoo is about 40 minutes up the highway when the snow flies. And the forest, the real draw, starts at your back fence.

Five bedrooms, five full baths, 5,268 square feet across 10.31 acres, three miles from town and right on the forest line. Places like this don't come up often out here.
