Charming Octagon Mountain Home with Business-Ready Shops on 11.9 Acres Bordering Forest Service Land
This truly unique 11.9 +/- acre, fully fenced property offers a rare combination of peaceful mountain living and serious business potential. Styled with an octagon stone and glass home, the property abuts thousands of acres of US Forest Service land, accessible through your own private gate. Wildlife lovers will delight in the regular visits from elk, deer, moose, and more. And the unmatched views? They’re nothing short of breathtaking.
The two-car garage sits beneath the home, anchored by a concrete foundation and wrapped in stonework. Step inside to a bright, well-designed interior featuring four entrances/exits, new carpeting downstairs, new flooring in the bathrooms, and fresh paint that beautifully contrasts with rich dark laminate. The kitchen is a dream—long counters, ample drawers and cabinetry, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. A rustic mudroom of stone and wood opens conveniently across from the patio and firepit, adding charm and functionality.
But what truly sets this property apart are the four large shop/garage buildings located just up the hill from the home. These structures are tucked away, preserving the beauty and tranquility of the main residence while offering 400 amps of commercial-grade electrical service. Three of the shops are insulated, heated, and plumbed with water, making them ideal for a home-based business, workshop, artist studio, or storage. The infrastructure is already in place to support a wide variety of entrepreneurial endeavors.
Additional recent upgrades include a high-efficiency dual fuel furnace heat pump, new Andersen Renewal windows and doors, and a newer roof, ensuring long-term comfort and energy efficiency. The lower level layout offers multiple utility rooms, and each downstairs bedroom features its own private entrance, bathroom, and shower—ideal for guests, rentals, or a multi-use household.
This property was previously used as a cannabis grow site, but that operation has been completely discontinued.
Whether you're seeking a serene mountain retreat, a multi-purpose investment, or a live/work compound with access to wilderness right out your back door, 149 Bear Gulch Rd. is a rare find that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
