Rich interior textures of leather, stone, wood and iron hold their own against the grand views from the great room, creating a strong sense of place and effortless western hospitality. Refined enough for the most elegant cowgirl, this ranch in Terrebonne, Oregon also features cattle working facilities and a full equestrian set up on 105 acres of high-desert nirvana. The towering Chief Cliff rock fireplace and twenty-foot beam and wood-paneled ceiling form a perfect gallery for Native American artifacts and artwork, enjoyed from soft leather sofas or the inviting bar.

An authentic yet luxurious ranch theme extends throughout the home. In the gourmet kitchen, cabinet-faced appliances create a rustically elegant feel and a stretched goat-hide serves as the only wall embellishment. The countertops and island are custom concrete and hand-molded tile. The choice of Knotty Alder cabinetry enhances the wilderness feel. The nail head and leather island stools in a streamlined, almost geometric shape add a style-balancing twenty-first century element to the cowboy kitchen.
