A Lifestyle Like No Other! Timeless mountain living awaits at this extraordinary Nakoma residence with sweeping views of the Sierra Crest, a rare offering that includes both 905 Dancing Bears (1.67 acres) and the adjoining parcel at 857 Dancing Bears (1.03 acres), creating nearly 2.7 acres of privacy and open space. Thoughtfully combined, the two parcels provide an exceptional sense of seclusion and preserve the natural beauty surrounding the home. Included with the property is a coveted Nakoma Golf Resort membership, a value of approximately $30,000 that runs with the home, providing access to an exceptional mountain lifestyle for generations to come. Walk in and experience breathtaking views of Eureka Peak and Mt. Elwell from this thoughtfully designed custom home. Perfectly positioned to embrace its surroundings, the open-concept floor plan features dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the great room with natural light and frame unforgettable sunsets. The private courtyard welcomes the morning sun, while the expansive front deck invites evenings spent stargazing the mountain sky. Thoughtful upgrades include geo-thermal heating and cooling, a chef's kitchen with a Garland six-burner range, IPE decking, custom cabinetry, steam shower, soaking tub, whole-house surge protection, central vacuum, and an integrated Bowers & Wilkins sound system. Interior insulated walls and solid-core doors provide comfort and quiet throughout. The detached four-car garage offers ample room for vehicles, outdoor gear, and mountain toys. Two flexible bonus spaces provide endless possibilities for a home office, library, fitness room, or creative studio. Located within the sought-after Nakoma gated community, residents enjoy championship golf, the Dragon Golf Course, hiking and biking trails, swimming, skiing, dining, and the stunning beauty of the Sierra. Just minutes from Graeagle, Lake Davis, and Nervino Airport, this is more than a home, it's a retreat, a gathering place, and a lifestyle unlike any other. 905 Dancing Bears isn't just a home. It's where mountain living becomes extraordinary.
