Swift Bear #23
Welcome to 23 Swift Bear, a private mountain retreat where elevated design meets adventure driven living in the heart of Big Sky. Thoughtfully designed to accommodate large groups with ease, this five bedroom, five bathroom residence sleeps up to sixteen guests and offers a rare blend of refined interiors, expansive gathering spaces, and resort style amenities. Whether returning from a day on the slopes or exploring the surrounding wilderness, the home provides a seamless balance of comfort, recreation, and luxury. The main level is designed as the heart of the home, welcoming guests through an attached garage and dedicated mudroom with boot dryer for effortless mountain living. A chef grade, fully equipped kitchen anchors the space and flows naturally into the dining area with seating for twelve and a generous living room centered around a cozy fireplace. From the living area, step onto the deck to take in sweeping views of Lone Peak, creating a dramatic backdrop for morning coffee or après ski gatherings. A king primary suite with attached bath is also located on this level, offering convenience and privacy. Completing the main floor is a standout feature rarely found in mountain homes: a full indoor basketball court, creating a dynamic space for recreation in any season. The lower level is designed for relaxation and entertainment. A secondary living area with gas fireplace and television opens directly to the patio, where a private hot tub invites guests to unwind under the stars. This level hosts a well appointed mix of sleeping accommodations, including a king bedroom, a queen bedroom, a king primary suite with attached bath, and a spacious bunk room featuring two twin over double bunks and one twin over twin bunk, ideal for children or group stays. A full hall bathroom serves the additional bedrooms, ensuring comfort and functionality for all guests. The upper level overlooks the basketball court and offers a dedicated game room complete with ping pong, lounge seating, a wet bar, and an additional bathroom. This elevated space provides a perfect retreat for friendly competition, movie nights, or quiet moments away from the main gathering areas. Located just minutes from Big Sky Resort, guests enjoy access to over 5,800 acres of world class skiing and snowboarding in winter and a full spectrum of summer activities ranging from scenic lift rides to ziplining and hiking. The Big Sky Town Center is a short fifteen minute drive, offering dining, shopping, and local events year round.
