About this home

Tucked high above Idyllwild on 3.78 gated acres, this extraordinary 3BD/3BA mountain compound offers a rare blend of refined luxury and immersive outdoor living. Set behind a private gate for security and privacy, the property opens into a landscaped courtyard with a peaceful pond, lush gardens, and native plantings, setting the tone for everything that follows. Built in 2010, the approx. 2,800 sq ft main home is designed for comfort, connection, and natural light, anchored by vaulted ceilings, dramatic viewlines, and quality craftsmanship throughout. The main level features a spacious living room with a stone fireplace, open dining area, and a gourmet kitchen with an oversized island, walk-in pantry, and adjacent laundry room. A large sunroom with wraparound windows brings the outdoors in and leads to an oversized deck with sweeping, unobstructed views of Lily Rock, the Idyllwild ridgeline, and the forested valleys beyond.The primary suite offers mountain views, a walk-in closet, and a spa-style bath with soaking tub, double vanity, and walk-in shower. A guest bath completes the main floor. Upstairs, a curved staircase leads to a lofted sitting area with stunning views of Lily Rock, plus two guest bedrooms and a shared 3/4 bath.Outside, the property unfolds like a high-end camp, full of places to wander, rest, and gather. The beautifully maintained grounds include mature trees, blooming gardens, and dramatic oversized boulders integrated into the design. A detached two-car garage offers additional storage. Meandering wood walkways connect a craned-in Airstream lounge, a wood-clad sauna, outdoor showers, and an open-air sleeping room built around granite. A custom-designed sky net is suspended between the trees, perfect for lounging above the forest floor. A soaking pool and hot tub are tucked into the hillside, surrounded by live-edge dining areas, stargazing spots, and private trails.Wiley's is a private, soulful retreat designed to inspire, built to explore, and truly one of a kind.

Panoramic Mountain Views: Boasts sweeping, unobstructed views of Lily Rock, the Idyllwild ridgeline, and forested valleys from multiple vantage points, including an oversized deck and sunroom.
Exceptional Privacy & Security: Situated on 3.78 gated acres high above Idyllwild, providing ultimate seclusion and enhanced security for a private retreat.
Luxurious & Modern Interior: Built in 2010, the main home features vaulted ceilings, quality craftsmanship, a gourmet kitchen with an oversized island, and a spa-style primary suite, designed for comfort and natural light.
Immaculate & Integrated Landscaping: The beautifully maintained grounds include a landscaped courtyard with a pond, lush gardens, mature trees, and dramatic oversized boulders seamlessly integrated into the natural mountain environment.

Cons

Extensive Maintenance Demands: The numerous unique outdoor features, expansive grounds, and specialized amenities will require significant ongoing maintenance, potentially leading to higher costs and time commitment.
Niche Buyer Appeal: The highly specialized 'mountain compound' concept, while luxurious, may appeal to a more limited buyer pool, potentially impacting market liquidity and resale velocity compared to more conventional properties.
Remote Access Considerations: Its elevated and private location 'high above Idyllwild' could present challenges with accessibility, especially during inclement weather, and may entail longer travel times to essential amenities.
