The media continue to highlight the Ranch: The Oregonian’s premiere issue of Ultimate magazine featured a cover photo and seven-page article about our architecture, landscape and distinctive amenities; Brainstorm NW highlighted the Ranch for providing the perfect backdrop for movies such as “The Postman” and “Swordfish”; and The Bulletin included our Tuscan Stables in an article about horse-friendly Central Oregon locations.
Finally, Ranch and Rural Living Magazine recently published “Cattails at Sunset” after selecting the image as the winner of its annual photo contest.
In September, many current and prospective landholders joined us for the inauguration of Monkeyface Vineyards, where we tasted impressive varietals of wine, enjoyed a lovely meal, listened to local musicians and made our official entrance into the wine community. A week later,we held the annual Harvest Picnic for our landholders and homeowners, neighbors and local craftsmen, where our friends and family enjoyed the spectacular vistas, lovely fall climate and tasty BBQ. Enjoy photos from both events below.
