The Bear Chalet is a striking architectural residence designed by acclaimed architect Tim Ward, positioned along one of Olympic Valley's most desirable golf course settings. The views of the Olympic Valley and Palisades Ski Resort are unmatched! Built in 1998 with a rare steel-frame structure, this 5,070-square-foot estate offers four bedrooms and 4.5 baths, blending structural integrity with refined mountain living. Thoughtful craftsmanship is evident throughout ? from rich knotty alder floors to a newer composition roof that enhances both longevity and aesthetic appeal. Comfort is seamless year-round with dual heating systems, including forced air and hydronic heat, along with heated garage floors for added convenience during winter months. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the home features an integrated sound system, a private outdoor hot tub, and multiple gathering spaces that invite connection. The chef's kitchen anchors the main living area, while a temperature-controlled wine room stores more than 500 bottles for the serious collector. Additional highlights include a cozy library, a dedicated home theater, a generous workout room, two laundry areas, and a flexible media room that could easily function as a fifth bedroom if desired. Set against a backdrop of national forest and surrounded by serene natural beauty, the property offers exceptional privacy. A level driveway ensures easy year-round access ? a rare and practical advantage in the Sierra. The Bear Chalet represents a unique opportunity to own a legacy-quality home where architectural strength, comfort, and mountain lifestyle converge.
