Conceived, crafted, and meticulously cared for by its original owners, this extraordinary mountain retreat offers a rare opportunity to own one of Bear Valley's most thoughtfully designed homes. Just one street from Bear Lake, this custom-built 3,195-square-foot lodge seamlessly blends refined craftsmanship with the rugged beauty of the Sierra Nevada. Granite steps lead to a covered Ipe hardwood deck entry framed by impressive log timbers, setting the tone for the exceptional quality found throughout. Inside, the dramatic great room showcases soaring cathedral ceilings, hand-hewn lodgepole pine post-and-beam construction, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and breathtaking walls of windows framing a living postcard: Bear Lake, towering pines, granite outcroppings, and endless Sierra views that change with every season. The well-stocked chef's kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances, essential culinary equipment and granite countertops, flows effortlessly into the living and dining areas, while expansive covered Ipe decks invite year-round outdoor living. The thoughtful floor plan includes a guest bedroom and full bath on the main level, two bedrooms and a versatile bonus room downstairs, and two private primary suites upstairs connected by a loft overlooking the great room. A separate mudroom with slate floors and its own exterior entrance keeps the outdoors from becoming your indoors. This beauty has the brains to match the brawn: a two-year-old Generac generator, a durable metal roof, a freshly stained exterior, dual water heaters with hot water recirculation, a sub-area drainage pump, a covered entry, and a level driveway for easy access. Offered fully furnished, the home includes two snowmobiles, making it easy to enjoy the Bear Valley lifestyle from day one. Minutes from world-class skiing, few mountain homes offer the rare luxury of skiing home after a day on the slopes. Spend the day carving fresh powder, glide back to your front door, then soak in the steaming hot tub and watch the last light fade across the Sierra. Explore the crystal waters of nearby alpine lakes: Bear Lake, Lake Alpine, Spicer, and Utica Reservoirs. Miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, fishing, kayaking, and endless outdoor recreation are all within easy reach. A true Bear Valley sanctuary - crafted with intention, surrounded by extraordinary beauty, and ready for its next chapter!
