Perched high above Sapphire Valley on 4.48 acres within The Divide at Bald Rock, this exceptional mountain retreat captures breathtaking southwesterly views from its 4,000-foot elevation along the Eastern Continental Divide.
Designed to embrace both comfort and connection, this four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home offers a bright, inviting atmosphere where indoor and outdoor living blend seamlessly. Expansive windows and open-air spaces frame the surrounding mountains, allowing nature to take center stage and creating a peaceful sense of escape.
The thoughtfully designed floor plan features an owner’s suite and guest suite on the main level, with two additional ensuite bedrooms upstairs, along with a loft and versatile bonus space ideal for a home office, fitness room, or additional lounge. Whether hosting family or enjoying a quiet weekend getaway, the layout offers both privacy and flexibility.
Refined finishes elevate the home throughout, including wood ceilings, shiplap walls, a hammered copper sink, and a chef’s kitchen equipped with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances. Enhancements such as updated landscaping and fencing provide both beauty and function — perfect for accommodating four-legged companions — while an encapsulated crawl space and full-house generator offer peace of mind for year-round living.
Residents of The Divide enjoy access to an outdoor pavilion with a full kitchen, ideal for gatherings against a stunning mountain backdrop. The neighboring Bald Rock community expands the experience with an equestrian center, pastureland, stables, and scenic riding trails. Just beyond, Panthertown Valley — a 6,700-acre wilderness area managed by the U.S. Forest Service — offers endless hiking opportunities, exploring waterfalls, and immersing in nature. Additionally, the nearby Sapphire Valley Resort offers access to golf, tennis, swimming, and a wide range of recreational amenities.
Whether as a private mountain getaway or a full-time residence, this home offers an unparalleled combination of elevation, views, and lifestyle — where every day feels like an escape to the Plateau.
