Juniper Preserve: What It Costs to Buy in 2026

Juniper Preserve is the private golf resort community northeast of Bend that a lot of longtime locals still call by its old name, Pronghorn. The resort rebranded in October 2022, but the homeowners association, the recorded plats, and the street signs never changed, so you'll run into both names depending on what you're reading. This guide walks through what a home here actually costs, what the club side does and doesn't include, how the four neighborhoods differ, and what's for sale as of this writing. Every figure below comes from our own listing data or the resort's own published sources, dated so you know exactly how current it is.

What does it cost to buy in Juniper Preserve right now?

As of this writing, 11 homes are for sale in Juniper Preserve, and the median asking price across those 11 listings is $1,595,000. That's the asking side of the picture. Browse the current listings on our Juniper Preserve community page to see the actual homes behind that number, since the mix of what's on the market shifts the median from month to month in a community this small.

What have homes actually sold for?

Over the last 24 months, the median sale price in Juniper Preserve was $1,998,800, from 17 closings. We're using a 24-month window here on purpose. The 12-month sample doesn't clear the threshold we use before publishing a number, so we're not going to guess at it. Seventeen sales over two years tells you something on its own: this is a low-volume, high-value market, not a place where a fresh median shows up every quarter.

How fast do homes sell?

Over that same 24-month window, the median time from listing to an accepted contract was 63 days, on those 17 sales. And in the last 12 months, 5 detached homes closed in the community. Put those two together and the pattern is clear: Juniper Preserve moves at a resort pace. Buyers take their time, and even a well-priced listing tends to sit longer than it would in a typical Bend subdivision.

What do the HOA dues cover, and how much are they?

Median HOA dues across the 84 current listings that report them run $265 a month, or $3,180 a year. That figure is dues to Pronghorn Community Association Inc., the residential HOA that governs the neighborhoods, not the resort's club side. Oregon Secretary of State recordscommunitypay.us show the association registered on December 3, 2002, and it currently collects dues from 969 units across the property's four neighborhoods. What that HOA number doesn't include is golf. Buying a home here does not automatically come with club privileges, and the Fazio course specifically is limited to members and their guests, so a buyer who wants full access to both courses is budgeting for a club membership on top of the purchase price and the HOA dues, not assuming it comes with the deed.

What are the four neighborhoods, and how do they differ?

Juniper Preserve's residential side splits into four distinct neighborhoods, and the differences matter more than they look on a map. Four Peaks sits between the Nicklaus and Fazio courses, close to the clubhouse, and its homes can be set up as nightly or short-term rentals. The Estates sit behind a second gate, with views over one course or the other and a quieter, more private feel than the rest of the property. The Residence Club and Residences are three- and four-bedroom townhomes along the 18th hole of the Nicklaus course, sold as whole or partial ownership and fully furnished. The Villas sit east of the Nicklaus course's 17th fairway, built in a Tuscan-inspired style with stone, timber, and covered paver patios. The resort's own real estate pagejuniperpreserve.com lays out the distinctions between them in more detail than any single MLS listing will.

Can you rent out a home here?

It depends which of the four neighborhoods you're in. Four Peaks is the one built for nightly and short-term rentals, so it's the neighborhood to look at first if rental income on a second home is part of your plan. The Estates, the Residence Club and Residences, and the Villas aren't described the same way in the resort's own materials, so if a rental plan matters to your purchase, confirm the specific rules for that address with the HOA and the resort before you write an offer. Rules inside a private resort can vary from one neighborhood to the next in ways a public listing won't spell out.

Is this a full-time home or a second home?

Both, and the neighborhood you choose tends to answer that question for you. The Residence Club and Residences are built and sold as fully furnished second homes, whole or partial ownership, made for buyers who want the resort without year-round upkeep. Four Peaks and the Villas work either way. The Estates, behind their own gate, read more like a full-time residential neighborhood that happens to sit inside a resort. None of this adds up to a walkable town center anywhere on the property. Groceries, a hardware store, or a dentist mean a drive into Bend, and daily life outside the resort's own dining and shop options means getting in the car.

What's the golf like, and do you need a club membership?

Two courses, both par-72, both designed by big names. The Jack Nicklaus Signature Course opened in 2004, plays 7,379 yards from the tips over ancient lava ridges, and is the only Nicklaus design in Oregon. It takes public tee times, so you don't have to own here to play it. The Tom Fazio Championship Course opened in 2007, plays 7,456 yards, and is reserved for members and their guests, with a par-3 eighth hole that crosses a 45-foot canyon over an exposed lava tube. Juniper Preserve is one of only two clubs in the country with a Nicklaus and a Fazio course on the same property. Golf Digestpronghorn.club has ranked the Nicklaus course #36 among America's public courses and #6 in Oregon, and named the resort #18 on its list of America's best golf resorts for 2025. None of those rankings come with the deed. If you want to play the Fazio course regularly, you're pricing in a club membership right alongside the home.

How far is it to town, the airport, and the mountain?

Juniper Preserve sits off Powell Butte Highway, about 20 minutes from downtown Bend. Redmond's airport, Roberts Field, is about 30 minutes away. Mt. Bachelor, if you're driving down for a ski day, is about 60 minutes via Bend and Century Drive. Those drive times are the trade-off for the privacy: 640 acres of juniper forest ringed by roughly 20,000 acres of federally protected BLM land, with sightlines running from the fairways to Mt. Bachelor and the Three Sisters and no subdivision in between.

What's on the property besides the two golf courses?

The golf gets top billing, but it isn't the whole resort. The Juniper Lodge, a 104-room boutique hotel, opened in April 2019 and anchors the hospitality side, along with the Juniper Spa, which includes an on-property lava cave used for guided meditation and sound baths. The Trailhead is the resort's outdoor recreation hub, with heated pools, hot tubs, and fitness facilities, plus its own casual dining at the Trailhead Grill. Iris is the resort's fine-dining restaurant, open to guests, members, and the public, and the Coyote Lounge at the clubhouse rounds out the bar and lounge side. There's also Spirit Island, a private event venue built for weddings, with capacity up to 300. None of that is included in the HOA dues either. It's part of what the club membership and the resort's own room and dining rates cover, separate from what you pay to own the house.

Who developed Juniper Preserve, and when were the homes built?

Most homes in Juniper Preserve were built between 2005 and 2024, the 10th to 90th percentile of the 97 homes in our data, out of 98 detached homes total in the community. The Resort Group, a Hawaii-based hospitality company, took ownership of the resort from its original developer in February 2012theresortgroup.com. That's the same company behind the October 2022 rebrand from Pronghorn Resort to Juniper Preserve, a move aimed at the resort's hospitality side more than the residential one. That's why you'll still see "Pronghorn" on the HOA paperwork, the street signs, and the MLS. The rebrand changed what the hotel and club call themselves, not the neighborhood's legal name.

If you're weighing a purchase in Juniper Preserve, the numbers above are a starting point, not the whole picture. Every neighborhood inside the resort has its own rules on rentals, furnishing, and club access, and that detail matters more here than it does in a standard subdivision.
