About the home

Picture perfect best describes this beautifully appointed, fully furnished 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath quality custom built home. Perched mid-mountain and just above the lake, this retreat blends refined mountain living with effortless access to the lake club, golf course and amenities. Thoughtfully designed across two levels, the home captures sweeping, year-round lake views while offering comfortable gathering spaces both inside and out. The main level welcomes you with an open-concept living area, with natural light pouring into the home from expansive windows that reveal the natural beauty beyond. The great room features vaulted ceilings and a natural stone gas fireplace that flow seamlessly into a spacious dining area. Your family and friends will enjoy gathering in the gourmet kitchen that includes high-end appliances and a large quartz kitchen island with the functional addition of built-in cabinets and drawers for extra storage. The primary suite is conveniently located on this level, with two walk-in closets and a full bathroom. Completing this level, a ½ bath, mudroom, and full laundry room add practical ease to everyday mountain living. “Wow” is all that you will say as you step outside to the show-stopping upper deck, featuring both covered and uncovered areas so you can enjoy the scenery in any season. Whether you’re grilling in the dedicated nook, hosting sunset dinners, or savoring a quiet morning coffee, the lake views and mountains provide a constant, breathtaking backdrop. The lower level features a living room which opens to a covered walk-out deck, two sizable ensuite bedrooms offering comfort and privacy for guests, and a versatile flex space that is currently being used as a home office/den. Outside, the property has been professionally landscaped, with a driveway that offers plenty of parking and that leads to a detached garage with ample storage for your lake, mountain and hiking accessories. Modern conveniences in the house and garage include hard-wired internet/wi-fi access points and a whole-house generator for additional peace of mind. This home is located near the Lake Club and the golf course and the pickleball/tennis courts. Bear Lake Reserve is an upscale gated community located halfway between Cashiers/Highlands NC area and Sylva NC in the Blue Ridge Mountains. There are many hiking trails throughout the community, and you can even enjoy the fly-fishing stream. The Lake Club offers fine dining, the Tap Room, the Bear n Bean store, a theater, fitness center and open and covered decks with views of beautiful Bear Creek Lake and the mountains. The Lake Club has a large, heated pool with a separate Kids pool, along with 2 hot tubs. If you prefer, you can also enjoy the sandy beach and swim in the refreshing lake. Bear Lake Reserve’s Marina offers guests access to power boats, kayaks and canoes. Up at the summit, you can enjoy the 9-hole Jack Nicklaus golf course and a driving range. Towards the front of the community you will find the Millpond event space for small to mid-size gatherings and the Amphitheater for larger community wide events. Bear Lake Reserve is a very active community with many events throughout the year. Come to the mountains and enjoy the 4 seasons and all that beautiful Bear Lake Reserve has to offer either as a year-round owner or, when not enjoying your mountain getaway, make it available as a vacation rental!
