About Central Oregon

Unfold your map and you will notice that Prineville resides in Central Oregon—and that it’s surrounded on all sides by natural wonders, including Crooked River, the Ochoco and Cascade Mountains, Smith Rock, and the Prineville and Ochoco Reservoirs. 

This makes your IronHorse property the perfect base camp for all kinds of outdoor pursuits, including hiking, fly fishing, mountain and road biking, rock climbing, hunting, rodeo, rockhounding, horseback riding and golf. 

The high-desert climate means days are more often sunny than not. And Prineville enjoys milder winters than its neighbors just west, so you’ll have easy access to snow sports—snowmobiling, snowshoeing and both Nordic and Alpine skiing—without as much snow shoveling.
