How Central Oregon Builders are Shaping the Future of Caldera Springs

In a recent Cascade Business News feature, Caldera Springs was highlighted as a standout success story in South Deschutes County — not just for its breathtaking setting and thoughtfully planned expansion, but for an emerging trend that’s helping fuel its rapid growth. Central Oregon’s top builders are no longer just constructing homes here — they’re investing in the community, purchasing homesites, and helping to meet the high demand for new construction in real time.

This builder-driven momentum is reshaping the way homes are being brought to life at Caldera Springs, offering future residents beautifully designed, move-in-ready options — and reinforcing the community’s status as the premier residential resort destination in the Pacific Northwest.

Here’s a closer look at how this trend is unfolding and what it means for those looking to call Caldera Springs home.

A Surge in Demand — and a New Kind of Buyer

Since launching our 600-acre expansion in 2022, Caldera Springs has seen remarkable momentum. Of the 159 Homesites sold, more than 68% have either a complete home, a home under construction or a home in the design phase. While many sites have been purchased by future homeowners, some of the most active buyers may surprise you: Central Oregon’s leading builders.

Esteemed firms such as Envision Development, Pahlisch Select, Curtis Homes LLC, Stone Bridge Homes NW, Arrowood Development, and many more are not only building custom homes for buyers — they’re also purchasing homesites themselves. From crafting move-in-ready spec homes to partnering on strategic acquisitions, these builders are playing an essential role in meeting market demand and enriching the Caldera Springs experience.

Building Beautifully — and Thoughtfully

“Our builder partners are helping bring the Caldera Springs vision to life,” says Krista Miller, Vice President of Real Estate and Development at Sunriver Resort. “Their dedication to quality and design allows homebuyers to enjoy all the benefits of new construction without the stress of managing the process themselves.”

It’s a true win-win. Homeowners gain access to stunning, ready-to-go homes that embrace the mountain-modern lifestyle, and builders have the chance to showcase their craftsmanship in one of the Pacific Northwest’s most coveted residential resort communities.

A Community in Full Bloom

The success of our Mirror Rock and Preservation Park homesite collections — both of which are sold out or nearly so — is a testament to Caldera Springs’ growing appeal. Now, anticipation is building for the launch of our newest offering: Wild Pine.

Set in the northeast section of the community, Wild Pine offers forest-wrapped homesites — some of which are water adjacent — near Caldera Springs’ newest amenities, including: Forest House, our recreation and aquatic complex, and Forest Park, a year-round adventure hub. It’s an opportunity to build a life immersed in nature, yet connected to an inspired community.

A Vision Realized

With more than $100 million in developer real estate sales since the expansion, and a thriving vacation rental program powered by Sunriver Resort Vacation Properties, it’s clear Caldera Springs is not just growing. It’s thriving.

“At Caldera Springs, we’re not just selling land,” adds Miller. “We’re creating something lasting. And our builder partners are helping us turn that vision into reality.”
