The most rural of the six — a small unincorporated community at the doorstep of Smith Rock State Park. Acreage, horses, and big sky.
Mornings climbing or trail-running at Smith Rock, evenings on the deck watching the light fade across the Crooked River canyon. Terrebonne is rural by design — and its residents like it that way.
Yes — for climbers, horse owners, small-acreage buyers, and people who actively want fewer neighbors. Terrebonne sits 12 minutes north of Redmond with Smith Rock State Park as the backdrop. Trade-offs: no real downtown or services, you drive everywhere, and you'll likely be on a well and septic instead of city utilities.
Median home price is around $575K. The real value is in the acreage — Terrebonne offers larger parcels at prices Bend and Sisters can't touch, often with Smith Rock or Cascade views. Many homes sit on 1+ acres.
Terrebonne is a small unincorporated community 12 minutes north of Redmond and about 30 minutes north of Bend. Highway 97 access is direct and the drive to RDM airport is only 10 minutes. Smith Rock State Park is 5 minutes east.
Climbers and outdoor athletes (Smith Rock is 5 minutes away), horse owners and small-acreage buyers, buyers priced out of Bend and Redmond who want land, and people who actively want fewer neighbors. Not for buyers who need walkable amenities or services nearby.
Smith Rock State Park is the headliner — world-class climbing, hiking, and photography. Plus the Crooked River, Cline Falls, and dark-sky stargazing. Daily errands require a drive to Redmond (12 min) or Bend (30 min).
No real downtown or services, you must drive everywhere, limited rental inventory, and wells and septic instead of city utilities. In exchange you get Smith Rock as your front yard, acreage at prices Bend and Sisters can't touch, quiet dark skies and high-desert character, and quick highway access to Redmond and the airport.
