Metolius

Just four miles southwest of Madras, Metolius provides residents and visitors with quiet, low-key charm. Once a booming railroad town, Metolius has a relaxed feel with its small restaurants, local market, and community functions at the old railroad depot. Its proximity to Madras makes Metolius a popular choice for residents seeking the slower pace of small-town life but with easy access to the amenities of a larger community. Metolius has the ability to support growth  with naturally pure water, proximity to electric power transmission lines, low-cost electric and natural gas, and available land in the Jefferson County Enterprise Zone.
