Description
Newly Reimagined Bear Valley Springs Retreat on 1.25 Acres with Stunning Lake Views! Discover mountain living at its finest in the exclusive community of Bear Valley Springs. This thoughtfully upgraded, freshly painted (inside and out) split-level home sits on approximately 1.25 private acres studded with mature oak trees. Boasting 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this property perfectly blends modern comfort with rustic charm. The heart of the home is the newly renovated kitchen, featuring butcher block countertops, a stylish tile backsplash, updated cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a large gathering room anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace, making it an ideal space for entertaining. Retreat to the primary bedroom suite, which boasts a striking second fireplace, a custom wood-slat accent wall, a large walk-in closet, and a private ensuite bathroom complete with dual sinks. The expansive exterior is designed for enjoying the breathtaking surroundings. Step out onto the large wraparound deck to take in commanding views that stretch all the way to the lake. The property also features a paved circle driveway with convenient RV access and an attached 2-car garage. A truly unique highlight of this property is the custom viewing deck built seamlessly into the natural rock outcropping in the backyard. Follow the built-in stairs up to a spectacular lookout point--perfect for stargazing or an outdoor camping spot--which sits just above an enclosed space that would make an incredible private wine cellar. Additionally, a large attached shed offers fantastic potential to be converted into a home office, art studio, or extra living space. The rear yard is fenced. Don't miss this move-in-ready gem in one of Tehachapi's most sought-after communities!
