Originally built in 1952 and creatively redesigned with repurposed treasures from throughout California, this one-of-a-kind Bear Creek property is unlike anything else in Merced. Set along the creek on a 15,762 sq. ft. lot, this 2,609 sq. ft. home offers 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, spacious living areas, and breathtaking views from both inside and out. Designed for the buyer who wants something truly different, the home blends character, artistry, privacy, and natural beauty in a way that simply cannot be recreated. Warm, distinctive details throughout give the property a story of its own, while large windows and thoughtfully designed spaces bring the creekside setting into everyday living. Outdoors, the vacant creekside area offers incredible potential for entertaining, relaxing, gardening, or creating a peaceful outdoor escape, with stairways leading down toward the creek and endless possibilities for the next owner. Hidden in the heart of Merced, this iconic retreat is a rare opportunity for someone seeking a prestigious, private, and unforgettable property along Bear Creek.
