Drew Bledsoe Has A Home In Bend?When news hit the wire that Drew Bledsoe, back-up quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, was planning on retiring, the news kept showing up in my Google search alerts for local news. Why? This quote right here: "This is something I've been thinking about for quite a while," Bledsoe said last night from his home in Bend, Ore.So he has a home in Bend? News to me, but apparently he not only has one huge 4600+ sq. ft., million dollar house in Broken Top (Google Map view here), but he also owns a nice piece of land in the new Highlands at Broken Top (Google Map view). If you want more detailed (and propertly more up-to-date) imagery of any of these properties, the City of Bend has a great GIS Internet Browser (MSIE only, unfortunately) that Jon has some great directions on how to use it.

Jake said on 04/12/07 @ 12:14 PM: And Joey Harrington and Dan Fouts own in Sisters, Phil Knight in Sunriver. Anybody else know anybody famous that owns/invests around here? ThatOneGurl said on 04/12/07 @ 01:14 PM: I live right here in SE Bend. Oh, I'm not famous. Yet. :) Bill Bob said on 04/12/07 @ 01:20 PM: Michael Jackson owns a spread right next to mine in LaPine. He keeps a dandy little single wide on it. Who'd a thunk it. The king of pop is a Lapinoid. scooter said on 04/12/07 @ 01:56 PM: I thought Phil Knight had ditched Sunriver for his ranch out by Terrebonne? Jake said on 04/12/07 @ 02:43 PM: Bill Bob: I think it's Lapinise, not Lapinoid ;-) Scooter: I honestly can't remember. I do know he owns property in Terrebonne (Brasada Ranch, maybe? I'll have to look it up), but I can't remember about his property out here. I'll look it up at some point. Dave Goodman said on 04/12/07 @ 04:44 PM: What about famous actors, musicians, authors and other celebs? Jason Carr said on 04/12/07 @ 04:46 PM: I can't confirm this, but there have been rumors for a few years that both Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods bought vacation homes in Broken Top. Jason Carr said on 04/12/07 @ 04:49 PM: Oh, I do know of a famous actor connection. Sam Waterston, known as Jack McCoy on "Law & Order," is the brother of Ellie Waterston, who's a local poet, and writer in Bend. She even used to run her own PR company. Sam visits Bend often to visit his sister. Jake said on 04/12/07 @ 04:53 PM: If I remember correctly, Sam came and talked at the Tower. Speaking of writers, I do know the former emmy-award winning executive producer of the Young And The Restless has a house in Sunriver. Good buddy of mine, actually. Cheryl Howard said on 04/12/07 @ 05:29 PM: I live in Bend. What? Why don't we know any one who writes the Days of our Lives script. Now that would be cool. Bill Bob said on 04/13/07 @ 08:25 AM: Well Cheryl, you truly do come from a long line of Hollywood stardom. Your Uncles Moe and Shemp used to own the piece next to the Jackson place. And your Uncle Curly made quite a name for himself in these parts in the late 20's. He used to run whiskey from Prineville up to this country quite a bit. Well, I'll talk at ya later, I gotta go brush my tooth. B.B. Josh Cordell said on 04/14/07 @ 12:06 PM: After Donald Trump said...oh wait, that wasn't true. Anyway, I've seen Drew Bledsoe at the athletic club, he's got a super sick truck. Dave Goodman said on 04/15/07 @ 04:49 PM: Hey, Jake, ask your buddy if he knows Michael Laibson, a buddy of mine who was exec. dir. on several soaps. philip said on 10/21/07 @ 08:11 AM: i im your number one fan you fight in ufc with trevor. please play in the turkey bowl with our church please come to our church the fellow ship of bend you probaly now booby who you ulitamite fight with Post a comment |
