Property Description
Discover your place in the mountains at Creekside #5, ideally located in the heart of Bear Valley. This spacious end-unit condo offers two bedrooms, two full baths, a generous loft, and the added privacy and natural light that comes with an end-unit location. The brand new Andersen windows and sliding glass doors throughout frame the surrounding mountain setting, while soaring ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace bring warmth and character to the living space. A private garage provides plenty of room for your vehicle and all the gear that comes with four season mountain living. The home is ready for its next owner to bring their own style and personal touch, creating a mountain retreat that feels entirely their own. Step outside and you're just moments from the Bear Valley Lodge, restaurants, bars, general store, and the shuttle to Bear Valley Mountain Resort. Spend winter days skiing and snowboarding, then trade the snow for summers at nearby Lake Alpine, with hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking, and endless High Sierra recreation at your fingertips. When you're in the mood for wine tasting, shopping, and dining, the charming town of Murphys is approximately 45 minutes away. With exterior maintenance and snow removal handled by the association, mountain ownership is easy. Enjoy it as your own full time home or take advantage of the opportunity to use it as an income-producing vacation rental when you're not there. Creekside #5 offers the space, location, and flexibility to make the most of everything Bear Valley has to offer.
