Open Space


Everyone always asks what we have planned for the open space. (In addition to the pastureland below the ridge, there are about 40 acres of dedicated open space up on the plateau.)

The Cayuse community is designed around this bloc of open space. When the community is built up, the open space will always preserve the sense of spaciousness, the "prairie community" feel that makes Cayuse seem like another world even though it's just minutes from town.

It may be an acquired taste, but the natural, undisturbed steppe is beautiful in its own way. The mixture of sagebrush, bunchgrass, rocks and (this time of year) wildflowers is a beautiful palette arranged more subtly than any landscape architect could mimic. I think it's a huge asset to have this natural buffer preserved in the midst of our community, and I'm sure folks will come to love it as much as I do.
