About this home

Rare Dual-Unit Property with CR Zoning in the Heart of Idyllwild Welcome to a truly unique opportunity—two homes on one fully usable, fenced .46-acre lot, nestled just a short stroll from the Heart of Idyllwild. With coveted CR zoning the opportunities expand. Please see CR zoning business opportunities and tax benefits with Riverside County. The main residence is a creatively renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom Southern-chic cabin infused with ample charm and character. Custom woodwork, antique accents, and artsy one-off paint finishes set a welcome home tone throughout. Enjoy modern upgrades like forced air heating, solar power on a buy-back program, and new roofing—while still soaking in rustic touches like the wood-burning stove, original wood floors, and a cozy rock fireplace center piece. All bedrooms are smartly separated for enhanced privacy, and the tin-roof-covered entrance into the laundry/mudroom is both practical and delightful—especially during a mountain rain, while the sunroom in front of the cabin is a wonderful feature throughout the seasons. The yard is blessed with apple trees, a cherry tree, lilacs, and bulbs. Tucked behind the main house is the beautifully remodeled self contained “Lavender Cottage”—a charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath rental unit with its own fenced yard, separate utilities, and designated parking. With a tasteful blend of masculine and feminine finishes, it's ideal for long-term rental income , a guest retreat, or a home-based business. Both units boast custom interior and exterior paint, remodeled kitchens and bathrooms, better insulation, and thoughtful touches throughout—making this mountain haven ready for you. The ever so gently sloped usable lot features a large circular driveway that's plow-friendly, offering ample parking and effortless year-round access. The yard is blessed with apple trees, a cherry tree, lilacs, and bulbs. Includes a shed, RV electrical is hook-up near the cottage shed. Storage or bike garage below the main house is a plus. There is an additional exterior 220V on main house for spa if desired. Property is on sewer and corners are marked. Enjoy nearby town conveniences with just a short walk from your investment to Idyllwild’s shops, dining, and events. Whether you're seeking an income-generating property, a live-work setup, to visit and rent, or simply a peaceful mountain lifestyle with the added benefit of CR zoning opportunities, this is a rare find you won’t want to miss.

Despite being built in 1947, the property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, as explicitly stated in the description ('creatively renovated,' 'beautifully remodeled,' 'remodeled kitchens and bathrooms' for both units). The images confirm modern kitchens with shaker-style cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and subway tile backsplashes, along with updated bathrooms featuring contemporary vanities and fixtures. Major systems have also been upgraded with forced air heating, solar power, and new roofing. While some original elements like wood floors are retained, they are well-maintained and contribute to the property's 'Southern-chic cabin' character, not indicating deferred maintenance. The property meets current quality standards with virtually new critical components.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Dual-Unit Income Potential: The property features two distinct homes on one lot, including a main residence and a separate 'Lavender Cottage' with its own utilities and fenced yard, offering significant potential for rental income, a guest retreat, or a home-based business.
Coveted CR Zoning: The property benefits from CR (Commercial Residential) zoning, which expands opportunities for various business ventures and potential tax benefits with Riverside County, adding significant value and flexibility.
Prime Idyllwild Location: Nestled just a short stroll from the Heart of Idyllwild, the property offers convenient year-round access to the town's shops, dining, and events, enhancing its desirability for residents and renters alike.
Extensive Modern Upgrades & Renovations: Both units have undergone significant renovations, including modern upgrades like forced air heating, solar power, new roofing, better insulation, and remodeled kitchens and bathrooms, ensuring comfort and efficiency.
Charming & Usable Outdoor Space: The fully usable, fenced .46-acre lot features a circular, plow-friendly driveway, ample parking, fruit trees (apple, cherry), lilacs, bulbs, a shed, RV electrical hook-up, and a storage/bike garage, providing practical and aesthetic appeal.

Cons

Age of Main Structure: While extensively renovated, the main residence was built in 1947, meaning the underlying structure is older, which could potentially lead to unforeseen maintenance requirements or limitations compared to newer constructions.
Niche Aesthetic Appeal: The main cabin's 'Southern-chic' style with custom woodwork, antique accents, and artsy one-off paint finishes, while charming, may cater to a specific taste and potentially limit the pool of interested buyers.
Solar Buy-Back Program: The solar power system is on a 'buy-back program,' which implies a contractual arrangement that a new owner would need to understand and potentially assume, rather than outright ownership of the solar panels, which could be a less straightforward benefit.
