Welcome to the forums!
How old is the wallpaper? Unfortunately wallpaper patterns usually have a short life so if it's an old paper it's unlikely you'll find a match. There are a few companies that will custom print wallpaper but that may not be cost effective.

If the paper was up when you bought the house I would look in the attic, storage rooms, garage and basement. Keep your fingers crossed that there is an extra roll hidden away somewhere. It may not match though. After years exposure to ozone and sunlight the paper on the wall may have faded.

The paper is probably 11 to 12 years old. I've looked around and can not find anything similar.

Sadly there are no extra rolls anywhere in the house.

Trying to avoid having to redo the whole room since it is pretty vast and wasn't sure if there are any companies who stock old rolls or are known for new old stock.

That's a really, really tough one. If you found a match, especially from the same batch I would buy a Powerball ticket (embossed bumped it up from a scratcher to Powerball odds). Even if you did see something online the exact size of the pattern and color would be impossible to determine. So, if you find something you probably will have to order it and have it in your hand to know if it's the right one or not. So, don't be upset if your first or 5th try isn't a perfect match. Good luck.

I once toured a wallpaper factory that did custom patterns before digital printing. It was interesting to see them do large scale screen printing on a table as long as a double roll. One person on each side lifting and moving the frame and every 3' or whatever the repeat, and swiping the ink over the screen. By the time they go to the end the ink at the beginning was dry and they could start on the next color.
