About 978 Dancing Bears

Perched on 2.04 private, forested acres, this exceptional mountain retreat offers the perfect balance of luxury, privacy, and timeless Lost Sierra charm. Encompassing approximately 2,616 square feet, the residence features three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and an inviting floor plan designed to embrace its breathtaking natural surroundings. From the moment you step inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and striking exposed wood beams create a warm, sophisticated atmosphere. Walls of windows fill the home with natural light while framing picturesque views of the surrounding pines and distant mountain ridgelines, creating a seamless connection between the indoors and out. Designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining, the open-concept living area flows beautifully between the kitchen, dining, and great room. A stunning stone fireplace anchors the space, offering the perfect setting to gather on cool mountain evenings. Thoughtfully designed bedrooms provide peaceful retreats, each enhanced by abundant natural light and serene woodland views. Outdoor living is equally impressive, highlighted by an expansive 800-square-foot deck where you'll enjoy spectacular western sunsets, peaceful mornings with coffee, and evenings surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. Whether hosting friends or simply unwinding after a day of adventure, this private setting delivers an unmatched sense of tranquility. Located within the prestigious gated Nakoma Community, residents enjoy access to miles of private hiking and walking trails, a championship golf course, and the peace of mountain living while remaining connected with high-speed fiber optic internet—ideal for remote work or full-time living. The vibrant community of Graeagle, Lake Davis, The Sierra Valley and the Lakes Basin Recreation Area are all just a short drive away, offering endless opportunities for dining, fishing, boating, hiking, and year-round outdoor recreation. Also available is the adjacent 2.69-acre homesite at 924 Dancing Bears. Showcasing dramatic granite outcroppings and panoramic views of Eureka Peak, this unimproved parcel presents a rare opportunity to preserve your privacy, create a legacy estate, or explore the potential for an additional residence or guest home (subject to applicable approvals). Please inquire with agent for more information.
