Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1961, is well-maintained and functional, but shows signs of being outdated in key areas. The main cabin's kitchen features knotty pine cabinets, beige tiled countertops, and a backsplash that appear to be from a renovation 15-30 years ago, rather than recent. The terracotta-style flooring also contributes to an older aesthetic. While the bathrooms in both units have updated subway tile in the showers, and the ADU's kitchen has more modern white shaker cabinets and stainless steel appliances, the overall age of the property and the dated elements in the main cabin's kitchen prevent it from achieving a 'Good' score. It is move-in ready but would benefit from further modern updates.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Income & Versatility: The property includes a main cabin and a fully independent Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with its own address and separate utilities (water, propane, septic, electrical), providing significant potential for rental income, guest housing, or multi-generational living.
Prime Idyllwild Location: Located just one mile from the heart of Idyllwild, offering convenient access to local dining, shopping, music venues, wineries, and popular trailheads, enhancing its appeal as a mountain retreat.
Private & Scenic Natural Setting: Nestled in the 'Idyll-ic neighborhood of Fern Valley,' the property boasts ample privacy with tree and bush lining the perimeters and offers desirable 'Trees/Woods' views.
Charming Rustic Chic Aesthetic: The cabins are described as 'lovely rustic chic,' suggesting a desirable and well-maintained aesthetic that aligns with the Idyllwild mountain lifestyle.
Outdoor Entertainment & Relaxation: A large deck with a sunken hot tub provides an excellent outdoor space for relaxation, entertainment, and enjoying the natural surroundings.
Cons
Above Estimated Market Value: The current listing price of $589,000 is approximately 10% higher than the estimated property value of $526,514.02, which may require a price adjustment or strong market justification to attract buyers.
Age of Property & Potential for Updates: Built in 1961, the property is over 60 years old, which could imply the need for updates to major systems or potential for deferred maintenance, despite its charming aesthetic.
Smaller Individual Unit Sizes: While the total square footage is 1478 sqft, the main cabin (936 sqft) and ADU (542 sqft) are individually modest in size, which might limit appeal for buyers seeking more expansive living spaces or larger family accommodations.
