3140 Bear Road

Tucked into the side of a waterfall creating a setting that feels worlds away from the everyday, this one-of-a-kind retreat is all about connection. Connection to nature, to design, and to the simple things that make a home feel special. A gentle waterfall and stream run through the property, where you'll often spot small native trout, adding a peaceful, ever-moving backdrop that instantly sets the tone.Inside, the home blends craftsmanship and character in a way that feels both elevated and effortless. Rich red oak flooring runs throughout, complemented by striking Italian ceramic tile that brings texture and warmth. The ceiling which was thoughtfully designed after a restaurant in SoHo, adds a subtle architectural edge, creating a space that feels curated without trying too hard.Built with Hardie board siding for durability and ease of maintenance, this is a home designed to be enjoyed, not constantly worked on. Electric baseboard heat and a wall unit A/C upstairs keep things comfortable year-round while maintaining that cozy, cabin-like feel.But what truly sets this property apart is the lifestyle it offers. Mornings with coffee by the water, afternoons biking the nearby McDade Trail, evenings spent reading or sharing meals with friends, it all feels easy here. It's the kind of place where you wake up and, for a moment, forget exactly where you are... in the best possible way.With its strong natural elements, inviting vibe, and effortless livability, this home feels less like a house--and more like a standing invitation to slow down, step outside, and stay awhile.
