About this home

Tucked away in Big Bear’s coveted Village area, this unexpected Tudor-style estate is like no other — a private compound offering unmatched craftsmanship, serenity, and grandeur on nearly two acres of park-like grounds. Behind its gates lies your own private forest of towering pines and manicured pathways leading to charming gazebos, arched bridges, barbecue pavilions, and a turf sports court framed by the two-bedroom guest house. The main residence spans over 10,000 square feet across three levels, designed for both entertaining and peaceful retreat. On the lower level, an indoor rock grotto spa with its own bar sets a resort-like tone, complemented by a gym, sauna, and wine cellar. The main floor invites gatherings with a game room and full bar opening to a wraparound balcony and extensive outdoor patio. There is a spacious family room with a double-sided stone fireplace, a formal dining room, and a grand kitchen built for culinary inspiration. Also on this level are a private mother-in-law suite, an additional guest suite, 2 guest bathrooms, laundry room and walk in butlers pantry. The focal point of the entry, a sweeping circular staircase, leads to the upper level where the primary suite and retreat anchor the floor, along with two additional bedrooms and a stunning family room crowned by vaulted wood-beam ceilings. You will also find a richly detailed den with handcrafted beamwork surrounding the fireplace — currently used as a bedroom, though perfectly suited for a library or private study. The guest house, equally inviting, offers two bedrooms and its own living spaces ideal for extended family, staff, or short-term rental use. Suitable as a primary residence, vacation retreat, or legacy family compound, Edgewood Mansion is also an exceptional investment opportunity — with its scale, layout, and proximity to the Village, the lake and ski resorts offering potential for transformation into an exclusive event venue or continue its use as a luxury rental destination. Having been recently refreshed with thoughtful updates, including a brand-new 50-year fire-rated Presidential roof, new exterior doors, upgraded heaters, Trex decking and fresh exterior paint. This rare estate combines the timeless charm of Old-World architecture with modern livability, delivering a lifestyle that is both storybook and spectacular.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Unmatched Scale & Luxury Amenities: This expansive estate boasts over 12,800 sqft of living space on nearly two acres, featuring an indoor grotto spa with bar, gym, sauna, wine cellar, game room, and a turf sports court, offering a truly resort-like experience.
Prime Big Bear Lake Location: Strategically located in Big Bear's coveted Village area, the property offers excellent proximity to the Village, the lake, and ski resorts, enhancing its desirability as a luxury retreat or investment.
Versatile Usage & Investment Potential: Beyond a primary residence or vacation retreat, its scale and layout make it an exceptional investment opportunity, suitable for transformation into an exclusive event venue or a high-end luxury rental destination.
Extensive Recent Upgrades: The property has undergone significant recent updates, including a brand-new 50-year fire-rated Presidential roof, new exterior doors, upgraded heaters, Trex decking, and fresh exterior paint, ensuring modern livability and reduced immediate capital expenditure.
Multi-Generational & Guest Accommodations: Includes a separate two-bedroom guest house and a private mother-in-law suite within the main residence, providing ample and flexible living arrangements for extended family, staff, or additional rental income.

Cons

High Operating and Maintenance Costs: The immense size (12,841 sqft, 1.77 acres) and extensive luxury amenities will inherently lead to substantial ongoing utility, maintenance, and insurance expenses, requiring a significant budget from the owner.
Niche Market Appeal: The distinctive Tudor-style architecture and grand scale cater to a very specific, high-net-worth buyer demographic, which could potentially result in a longer market time compared to properties with broader appeal.
Potential for Aging Infrastructure: Despite recent updates, the 1980 build year suggests that some original infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical beyond heaters, or other core systems) may still be present and could require future significant investment or modernization.
