This single story home is located on the valley floor in the gated community of Bear Valley Springs! The home is close to the Bear Valley Market, Whiting Center, Equestrian Center and horse trails. The sellers did buy the home earlier this year and quickly did many upgrades that include painting the interior and exterior, fully remodeling the kitchen, installing round rail fencing and gates, new window blinds and screens, new light switches and fixtures, new water heater, new vanity in the guest quarters, and much more. The home was originally a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house but the previous owner converted the garage into a guest quarters area with a full bathroom and plumbing for a kitchenette, as well as its own entrance. The master bathroom has a newer large walk in shower and dual sinks. The other tow bedrooms were freshly painted and have ceiling fans to compliment the central heat and AC. There is still a detached 2 car garage, large storage shed and a detached paint studio that can be used for many things, including a tack room if you are bringing your horses. Speaking of horses, the lot is flat, fenced and has plenty of room for your barn, round pen and turnout pasture. You would be able to ride your horse right from your home to miles of trails that Community offers. Bear Valley does have an HOA but the amenities include a golf course, swimming pools, gym, sauna, hot tub, shooting range and so much more. The buyer can assume the existing VA loan of 2.5% with about 1/3 down. This home is move in ready and the seller is willing to sell some furnishings as well.

Beautiful, updated home in the heart of Bear Valley Springs. This single story ranch style home is located right across from the Whiting Center and Bear Valley Market. The 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home is situated on over 1 acre of flat, fenced property, perfect for horses, RV parking and pets, with plenty of room to add a workshop. The seller has already added a She-Shed that has electricity to it and is currently being used as an art studio. The original garage was converted/permitted to add another living area and the 3rd bathroom. The area includes pluming for a kitchenette or wet bar and can also be used as guest quarters. The vibrant kitchen has been updated, making it a joy to work in the kitchen again. The home also offers an electric gate for privacy and the view of the surrounding mountains is breathtaking.
