Exceptional Location and Scenic Views
Perched atop Warm Springs Butte and overlooking the well-known Crystal Crane Hot Springs, High Desert Overlook is a one-of-a-kind retreat capturing the rugged beauty of Eastern Oregon’s high desert. This extraordinary 6,000+ sq.ft. custom home, crafted from sixteen cargo containers, offers sweeping views of the Harney Basin, distant glimpses of the Strawberry Mountains, and one of a kind 80 acre. Just minutes off Highway 78 and only 20 minutes from local amenities, including grocery stores and medical services, the property combines a one of a kind structure with rural lifestyle.
Innovative Custom Home Design
Built for sustainability and durability, the home features low-maintenance metal siding, a metal roof, and covered front and back patios for year-round enjoyment. Radiant floor heating warms the main level, complimented by a woodstove. A state-of-the-art, whole-house reverse osmosis system purifies all water, including that used for the radiant heating, supported by a 300-gallon storage tank.
Inside, the home offers 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and a flexible layout designed for both privacy and communal living. Each wing hosts a mix of bedrooms and bathrooms, while the center of the home features a stunning entertainment space with 20-foot vaulted ceilings, ceiling fans, and 26 custom windows that flood the interior with natural light. This open-concept core connects the kitchen, dining, and living spaces with dual custom built spiral staircases and access to a below-floor wine cellar with a tempered glass viewing window.
Elegant Interior and Functional Spaces
The kitchen is outfitted with a gas Wolf range, built-in dishwasher, refrigerator, and hood vent. Rough-cut concrete countertops, abundant cabinetry, and a U-shaped island with a secondary sink, bar seating, and added storage make the space as functional as it is striking.
On the East wing of the home, the main floor features the water and heating systems, a half bathroom, and an office that could serve as an extra bedroom. Up the spiral staircase are a full bathroom with tiled walk-in shower, clawfoot tub, and tile flooring, plus a bedroom with a plumbed sink and private concrete patio. A utility room offers laundry or storage flexibility.
As for the West wing, the main floor features a full bathroom with matching finishes to the other full bathroom, a bedroom with a plumbed sink, a half bath with laundry hookups, and an office/bedroom option.

Expansive Grounds and Outdoor Living
Outside, a TREX front patio leads to a landscaped area featuring a mix of crushed rock, pea gravel, river rock, flower beds, and native brush. The acreage around the home consists of 30 acres of hillside before dropping nearly 100 feet in elevation to roughly 50 acres on the flats, the entire acreage is natural high desert terrain with a perimeter fence.
