About this home

Up the San Bernardino Mountains you will find a charming town called Big Bear ~ Though small for its size, this town boasts a large lake, The Village and two resorts for skiing, snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking and all manner of recreation ~ Perched above the Village, while still within walking distance to it, you encounter this wonderful home ~ On 40,000 sq. ft., just shy of a full acre, is this 5 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom escape ~ It also has a detached guest house with it's own bedroom and bathroom ~ As you pull up to the property you will immediately fall head over heels with the setting ~ The long flat driveway leads you deeper onto the property where you find your home sitting on top of the hill like a monarch upon their throne ~ Your well treed land gives you the ultimate illusion of seclusion, making you feel as though you are alone in the forest ~ The outdoors gives you plenty of areas to relax from your front deck, firepit or your own lookout ~ As you enter you will absolutely love the floor to ceiling, and wood burning, rock fireplace in the Great Room ~ This is the ideal area to spend quality time with your loved ones creating lifelong memories together ~ The kitchen is open to the Great Room and has the cutest dining area you could wish for ~ Also on the main floor you have the master bedroom with peek-a-boo lake views, the laundry room with 1/2 bathroom and interior access to the garage ~ Upstairs you will find a large bedroom, above the master, that also has lake views, along with 2 more bedrooms, a large family room that is currently being used as the 5th bedroom and the second bathroom ~ The second bathroom is it's own work of art ~ The detached guest house is the perfect little cottage to add to this home's allure ~ Across the street from the National Forest, walking distance to the Village, 5 minutes to the lake, 8 minutes to the ski slopes and room to gather all your loved ones together under one roof! What are you waiting for?

The property, built in 1995, is well-maintained but shows significant signs of being outdated, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features older white appliances, traditional wood cabinets, and dated fluorescent lighting. Bathrooms have older vanities, gold-toned fixtures, and dated strip lighting. While functional, these areas would require minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards. The overall interior, with carpeted floors and older light fixtures, reflects its 1990s construction with no apparent major renovations.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Location: Prime positioning within walking distance to The Village, 5 minutes to the lake, 8 minutes to ski slopes, and adjacent to the National Forest, offering unparalleled access to Big Bear's recreational amenities.
Generous Lot Size & Privacy: Nearly a full acre (40,000 sq. ft.) of well-treed land provides significant privacy and a secluded, forest-like ambiance, creating an 'alone in the forest' feel.
Detached Guest House: Includes a separate guest house with its own bedroom and bathroom, offering versatile options for extended family, guests, or potential rental income.
Spacious Accommodation: Features 5 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms in the main house, plus the guest house, making it ideal for large families or group gatherings.
Charming Mountain Features: Boasts a floor-to-ceiling wood-burning rock fireplace in the Great Room and multiple outdoor relaxation areas (deck, firepit, lookout), enhancing the quintessential Big Bear experience.

Cons

Limited Lake Views: The master bedroom offers 'peek-a-boo lake views,' indicating partial or obstructed views rather than expansive, direct lake frontage.
Potential for Updates: Built in 1995, the property may require some interior updates or modernization to meet current aesthetic and functional preferences of some buyers.
Extensive Lot Maintenance: The large, heavily treed lot, while private, will likely require significant ongoing maintenance for landscaping, tree care, and fire abatement.
