Distant ridge-top views are showcased from every room of this stunning architectural gem nestled in the charming ski village of Bear Valley, California. Perched on a rugged ridge, the home offers breathtaking vistas of the Dardanelle mountain range and the conifer-studded skyline. The expansive walls of glass flood the interior with natural light, seamlessly blending the indoors with the captivating scenery outside. The main level offers two formal entries: one from a private road to the west with a bridge entry deck and another from the driveway side. This home is crafted with top-notch finishes, including rough-sawn cedar siding, Ipe mahogany wood decking with invisible fasteners, and solid fir six-panel doors throughout. Luxurious touches like wool carpeting, marble floors, massive Glulam beams, contemporary light fixtures, and LED can lighting enhance the home's sophisticated aesthetic. The aluminum-clad, hand-crafted wood windows by Loewen of Manitoba, Canada, are a testament to exceptional design and quality. Recent updates include a Navien tankless hot water heater (2021), radiant floor heating with a new high-efficiency boiler (2023), and a 25-KW Generac generator to minimize service interruptions. Designed for entertaining, the home boasts multiple seating alcoves: three on the main floor, one adjacent to the primary suite, and another on the lower level. The open-concept main level includes a well-appointed kitchen, dining area, full bath, living room, and family room. The entire upper floor is dedicated to the primary suite, featuring a full bath, a private living area/study, and a deck. Downstairs, discover an additional bedroom, a full bath, a media room, and a bunk/game room with exterior access. After a day on the slopes, your first stop will be the covered spa, where you can soak in the warmth and take in the stunning views, even as snow gently falls. The sale includes an additional privacy lot, enhancing the sense of seclusion and space. Most of the home's exquisite furniture and furnishings will transfer with the property, ensuring a seamless move-in experience for the new owners. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the home's proximity to skiing and hiking trails and the easy walk to the private Bear Valley Lake for water activities. This architectural masterpiece is not just a home but a lifestyle, offering unparalleled views, luxurious finishes, and exceptional convenience for those seeking the ultimate mountain retreat. An additional parcel is available to purchase separately, bringing the total acreage to .82 and further enhancing the property's privacy and exclusivity.
