We discuss prospects for probing short-range sterile neutrino oscillationusing neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering with ultra-low energy ($\sim 10$ eV- 100 eV) recoil threshold cryogenic Ge detectors. The analysis is performed inthe context of a specific and contemporary reactor-based experimental proposal,developed in cooperation with the Nuclear Science Center at Texas A\&MUniversity, and references developing technology based upon economical andscalable detector arrays. The baseline of the experiment is substantiallyshorter than existing measurements, as near as about 2 meters from the reactorcore, and is moreover variable, extending continuously up to a range of about10 meters. This proximity and variety combine to provide extraordinarysensitivity to a wide spectrum of oscillation scales, while facilitating thetidy cancellation of leading systematic uncertainties in the reactor source andenvironment. With 100~eV sensitivity, for exposures on the order of 200kg$\cdot$y, we project an estimated sensitivity to first/fourth neutrinooscillation with a mass gap $\Delta m^2 \sim 1 \, {\rm eV}^2$ at an amplitude$\sin^2 2\theta \sim 10^{-1}$, or $\Delta m^2 \sim 0.2 \, {\rm eV}^2$ at unitamplitude. Larger exposures, around 5,000 kg$\cdot$y, together with 10 eVsensitivity are capable of probing more than an additional order of magnitudein amplitude.
