About this home
Beautifully crafted and truly one-of-a-kind, this authentic craftsman-style log home sitting on four combined lots totaling 1.26 acres in the highly sought-after Bear Paw community is waiting for YOU! Meticulously maintained and better than new, this stunning 3 bedroom- 3 bath mountain retreat offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the quality craftsmanship, warm wood finishes, soaring ceilings, and inviting atmosphere throughout. The spacious floor plan has plenty of room for the entire family to spread out, and the massive porches provide plenty of space for grilling and entertaining. There is a bedroom and full bathroom on each floor and the laundry area is on the main level. The Ring security cameras and Starlink equipment are included, ensuring safety, peace of mind, and high-speed streaming! Work from home? Not a problem!! The property also includes an additional lot already equipped with a separate 3 bedroom septic system, opening the door to endless possibilities. Build a guest house, second cabin, income-producing vacation rental, workshop, or private retreat space for family and friends. With infrastructure already in place, the added flexibility and development potential make this property an increasingly rare find in the mountains. The list of upgrades and improvements made to this home is immense, and a complete list is provided in the documents. For starters, all the toilets and appliances are new, and the HVAC and mini split unit are new as well, and are serviced regularly. The septic tank was pumped in 2024, and the exterior logs were cleaned, caulked, and painted in 2024 as well. The multi-level terracing adds a stunning touch to the landscape and exterior, and there is also a whole-house generator so you're never without power! Make an appointment to see this beauty today and fall in love with lake (and mountain) life!
