Key Facts
Description
Luxury Mountain Retreat in the upscale subdivision of Bear Creek – 15.2 Acres Bordering National Forest. Located in the prestigious locked-gate community of Bear Creek Ranches, this custom wood frame stucco-and-rock home sits at the very top of Bear Creek, offering sweeping views of the San Juan Mountains, the Continental Divide, and Wolf Creek Ski Area. Built in 2010 on two combined lots totaling 15.2 acres, the property borders national forest land, ensuring unmatched privacy with no close neighbors. Inside, the open floor plan is filled with high-end finishes: slate tile floors, marble and granite countertops throughout, Pella windows, sliders and glass doors, and local barnwood doors and accents. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream with double ovens, an oversized refrigerator/freezer, breakfast bar, prep island, oversized pantry, and elegant copper sinks. The great room centers around a striking fireplace and includes a full wet bar—perfect for entertaining. This 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home also offers two living areas, two separate offices, formal dining spaces (indoor and outdoor), and a thoughtfully designed floor plan with short-rise stairs for easy access between levels. The master suite is privately situated in its own wing with a spacious walk-in closet, jacuzzi tub, separate shower, dual vanities, and a separate water closet. Energy efficiency is built into every detail with a Photovoltaic and Solar Thermal system and a back up propane furnace as well as R-30 insulation in entire roof. The hot water in floor heat is powered by Solar Thermal. Electricity is generated by the Photovoltaic panels and connected to the local electric company for backup. There is blown-in insulation in every exterior wall; and a fire-resistant concrete tile roof installed over water and ice shield membrane. A monitored security system is also in place for peace of mind. The exterior was updated with new stucco in 2024 and locally sourced rock accents. Multiple Trex decks, flagstone walkways, and lighted patio areas surround the home, complemented by an extensive drip irrigation system, perennial landscaping, and a cozy fire pit area—perfect for enjoying cool mountain evenings. All major furnishings and appliances are included, making this property truly turn-key. Detailed Narrative from seller is available upon request.
