Sited directly adjacent to the southern boundary of Sunriver Resort, Caldera Springs is a premier, 1,000-acre master-planned residential resort community defined by its modern infrastructure, dynamic water features, and high-velocity asset performance. Originally established in 2007 and executing a massive multi-hundred-acre eastern expansion, the neighborhood seamlessly pairs a casual, four-season alpine lifestyle with lucrative, developer-backed real estate plays. The community layout is characterized by a network of seven acres of pristine, stream-fed lakes and ponds woven through towering stands of old-growth ponderosa pines, creating an active, highly connected environment designed for families who prioritize natural immersion alongside premium resort convenience.

​

Architecturally, Caldera Springs represents the modern evolution of high-desert resort design, shifting away from rustic mid-century cabins toward a clean, sophisticated "Mountain Contemporary" design language. The community's architectural review board guides a diverse inventory mix, ranging from original high-density vacation cabins to high-end developer-built products like the Forestbrook and Lakeside Vacation Homes flanking Lava Springs Lake. Custom builds emphasize generous structural glazing, flat-roof accents, lighter natural wood tones, and integrated indoor-outdoor living pavilions. The massive 600-acre eastern expansion introducing the Wild Pine, Preservation, and Mirror Rock sectors marks a major spatial shift for the community, debuting larger 0.4-acre to over 1.0-acre custom homesites that offer estate-level proportions and rare architectural flexibility directly bordering the 220-acre Wildlife Forest Preserve.

​

Investment-wise, Caldera Springs is heavily optimized for maximum short-term rental performance, making it a highly liquid asset class for wealth-diversification buyers. Turnkey developer collections like the Forestbrook series utilize highly lucrative dual-key lock-off configurations, featuring attached studio suites with private exterior entrances and kitchenettes that can be occupied or rented entirely independent of the main home. Residences enrolled in the managed rental program tap into an efficient, high-volume tourism engine backed by Sunriver Resort’s professional hospitality management network. Operationally, the community is anchored by the new Forest House recreation facility and the classic Lake House club, providing owners with world-class wellness centers, multiple swimming pools with double-racer waterslides, lakeside dining, and fitness hubs. Recreation infrastructure includes Caldera Links—a private, family-friendly 9-hole course—over 13 miles of paved trails, a 220-acre permanently protected Wildlife Forest Preserve, and private access to the Shore Shack water-sports launch.
