23901 El Rancho

Now $80,000 below the original price. Up here, near 5,800 feet, the air feels different. Lighter. Wider. Still. This Bear Valley Springs home rises from an elevated homesite where the valley floor, the surrounding peaks, and the far ridgelines open in every direction. Sunrise arrives soft and gold. Sunset lingers. In between, the sky does the decorating. And here's the rare part: under the current ownership, this home has been enjoyed lightly as a mountain getaway rather than a full-time residence, and meticulously kept so it shows beautifully. Inside, that openness follows you. Vaulted ceilings lift the rooms. Newer dual-pane windows draw the horizon indoors while keeping the mountain quiet out and the comfort in. Living, dining, and kitchen move together as one bright, easy space, warmed by a freestanding pellet stove and framed by the view from nearly every angle. Prefer to simply arrive and exhale? With an accepted full-price offer, the home can convey fully furnished and turnkey, down to the last detail. The kitchen keeps the scenery close, with generous cabinetry and workspace, a center island, and bar seating made for morning coffee and long conversations. A few steps away, the dining area sits wrapped in glass, the landscape its only backdrop. The primary suite is a retreat of its own generously scaled, with wide picture windows, dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. Upstairs, a private ensuite bedroom offers a comfortable space all its own, while flexible loft areas stretch to hold an office, a studio, or whatever the day calls for. Then there is the deck. Sprawling and covered, it runs the length of the view a front-row seat to rolling hills and distant ranges. Where the day begins, and where it ends. Peace of mind is built in, too: a newer septic system and a 2017 furnace that's seen little use mean the big-ticket items are already addressed. Beyond the door, gated Bear Valley Springs offers the full mountain lifestyle, with community amenities that include golf, tennis, equestrian facilities, lakes, country club dining, and miles of trails to hike and ride. Elevation. Light. Room to breathe. One of Bear Valley Springs' rare mountain-view homes priced to move.
