Custom homes among the pines and lakes of a four-season resort community near Sunriver — built for family, for recreation, and for the way Central Oregon is meant to be lived.
At Caldera Springs, a home isn't a retreat from Central Oregon — it's a front-row seat to it.
Tucked into the pines just south of Bend near Sunriver, Caldera Springs is built around water, forest, and the outdoors: two spring-fed lakes, miles of trails, a 9-hole course at Caldera Links, and the Lake House and Forest House at the social heart of it all. It's less about being removed from everything and more about having everything a Central Oregon family loves right outside the door — winter and summer alike.
Sunrise Construction builds genuinely custom homes here, designed around how you'll actually use them: long lake days and ski weekends, a full house of family and friends, then an easy lock-and-leave when it's time to go. We build your ideas — not a stock plan — with our owner, Chris, personally involved from the first sketch to the final walk-through, working shoulder to shoulder with your architect and designer.
Building among the trees and lakes asks for a different touch than the open high desert: siting a home to keep the best pines and water views, designing for snow and sun through four seasons, and detailing for the indoor-outdoor life the community is made for. Because we build here, we plan for all of it early. Our first Caldera Springs home earned Best of Show at the 2025 COBA Tour of Homes, and two more are under construction now. See how we build →
A custom home builder serving Caldera Springs, Sunriver, and Central Oregon.
Some communities are about getting away from it all. Caldera Springs is about getting to it — the lakes, the forest, the golf, the trails, and the easy, four-season recreation that makes the Sunriver area one of the Pacific Northwest's great places to gather. For families, it's a basecamp: a home where the day starts with a paddle across the lake and ends around a fire with everyone under one roof.
Homesites here sit among ponderosa pines, along the water, or backing to open forest, and each one shapes the home that belongs on it. Orienting the house to the pines and the lake, protecting privacy between the trees, capturing the light, and framing the views toward Mt. Bachelor all change how the home feels once you're living in it.
Caldera is also built for a particular rhythm of ownership. Many homes here move easily between full-time living, long seasonal stays, and lock-and-leave weekends. That influences everything from durable, low-maintenance materials to floor plans that flex from a quiet couple's retreat to a house full of kids, grandkids, and guests without missing a beat.
The forest setting brings its own considerations, too. Snow load, sun exposure, drainage, wildfire-aware detailing, and the way a home handles the shift from deep winter to high summer all matter more here than the finishes alone. And, as in any resort community, understanding the design review standards before drawings begin keeps the whole process moving and the home true to the character of the place.
The best Caldera Springs homes aren't the biggest ones. They're the ones that sit naturally among the trees, open generously to the water and the sky, and make it effortless to live the way people come to Central Oregon to live — outside, together, in every season.
Set within the Sunriver area about 15 miles south of Bend, with Mt. Bachelor to the west and Redmond and its airport to the north.

Caldera Springs holds thoughtful design standards for its wooded and lakeside homesites. We know what the community expects and design with it in mind from the start, so review moves smoothly and the home suits its setting.
Siting to save the best trees and water views, detailing for snow load and sun, and warm Northwest materials that belong among the ponderosas — comfortable from ski season to high summer.
The lakes, trails, Caldera Links, the Lake House, and the Forest House are minutes away — and Mt. Bachelor beyond. We build homes that make the most of it, easy to enjoy and easy to leave.
Sunrise Construction is an approved builder within Caldera Springs. Our first home in the community earned Best of Show at the 2025 COBA Tour of Homes, and we have two more custom homes under construction there now. That work has given us a real understanding of Caldera's design review, its forested and lakeside sites, and the planning it takes to build well among the trees.
Recognition is gratifying, but the endorsement we value most comes from the homeowners, architects, and designers who send the next family our way. Across more than 25 years in Central Oregon, our reputation has been built one relationship at a time — because every project is a chance to earn lasting trust, not simply finish another house.
We believe every homeowner should be free to choose the builder who fits their vision. When people choose Sunrise, we treat it as a privilege — and we build like it, from the first conversation through the years of care that follow.
A Northwest contemporary residence built for relaxed resort living among the pines and lakes — and the home that earned Best of Show at the 2025 COBA Tour of Homes. Two more Sunrise homes are taking shape in the community now.
A growing record of Sunrise work within the community. It expands as homes are finished and photography becomes available.
Yes. Homesite owners choose the builder that fits their project, as long as the home meets the community's design guidelines and new-construction requirements. Because Caldera's forested, lakeside sites and four-season climate ask a lot of a home, working with a builder who has built here helps the process move smoothly.
Yes. Sunrise Construction is an approved builder within Caldera Springs. Our first home in the community earned Best of Show at the 2025 COBA Tour of Homes, and we currently have two more custom homes under construction there. We know the design review process and the standards the community holds, and we plan for both from the first conversation.
Earlier than most people expect. Bringing us in before the plans are finalized lets us help evaluate the homesite, coordinate with your architect and designer, understand real construction costs, and find opportunities to improve the design — while avoiding expensive revisions later.
Absolutely. Many Caldera Springs homes balance everyday living with easy, lock-and-leave getaways. We design for that rhythm — durable, low-maintenance details, spaces that flex from a quiet couple's retreat to a full house of family and guests, and a home that's simple to close up and return to.
No. We collaborate with the architect and interior designer you already have, or help you assemble the right team. Our job is to support a process that produces the best home for you — not to fit you into a predetermined system.
Homes that belong among the pines and lakes — Northwest contemporary, mountain modern, and warm, timber-and-stone designs that open to the forest and the water. The most successful homes here frame the natural setting, handle snow and sun gracefully, and live comfortably in every season.
Every project is different, but a luxury custom home takes real planning before construction starts. Site evaluation, design, engineering, community review, permitting, and selections all shape the schedule. We set realistic timelines early so expectations stay clear from the beginning.
Caldera is forest and water rather than open high desert — lakeside and wooded homesites, a family-and-recreation focus, and resort amenities woven right into the community. Designing for the trees, the lakes, the snow, and the way the home will be used through all four seasons is what sets a great Caldera home apart.
No. Sunrise Construction builds throughout Central Oregon, including Brasada Ranch, Juniper Preserve, and Bend. Caldera Springs is one of several communities where we've had the privilege to build.

We've always believed choosing where you build is just as important as choosing who builds it. If you're still exploring Caldera Springs, these official resources are an excellent place to get a feel for the lakes, the amenities, and the homesites.
Let's begin the conversation before plans are finalized. Early collaboration leads to better homes, smoother approvals, and a home that truly belongs among the pines and lakes.
