Skyland's History

The area now known as Skyland's was originally owned by Marylhurst University and Sisters of St. Mary's. They originally farm the land and the property at the top of Crestline as well as nine lots on the south side of Green Bluff Drive. This area is currently known as Skyland Heights. You can even still see a wagon road cut through the barely visible part of Green Bluff veering north and switching back up the hill off green Bluff just north of the culvert crossing the area.

In the 1950s, Ferry and Cora Smith purchased the land as well as Skyland Heights, Skyland Point View Estates, and parts along the east end of Skyland's Drive. A large greenhouse located behind their house supplied much of the landscaping materials originally planted by early homeowners.

Residents at the time rode horses around many of the winding trails that traverse to the hills from Highway 43 up to Skylands and over to Stafford and Rosemont Roads. The owners log the property to raise money for the development and improve the overlying views. Over the next 50 years, Skylands built up with a variety of amenities and homesites selling off different lots here and there. While the Smiths sometimes economized on infrastructure, many of the early homes were designed by prominent architects in the area at the time including Roscoe Hemenway, Richard Sundeleaf, Burton Goodrich, and Sol Zack. Many of the homes were constructed of high-end materials and excellent craftsmanship and a tradition of care for design and aesthetic beauty continues to present itself in the Skyland homes today. Most homes offer gorgeous mountain views and serene-like scenery making Skyland's a wonderful place to live.

Skylands HOA

Skyland has its own homeowner association with a variety of activities and annual events, however, there are no homeowner association dues connected to the properties within the community. The community offers a private Facebook group as well as an association website perfect for new neighbors, private access, and information about the association.
